Chapter 4: Before you begin
Before betting on golf, it’s important to have a strong understanding of what to do before you begin, and what impact they might have on your betting.
Do your research
Betting on golf can be a multi-day affair, with tournaments typically lasting 4 days or longer. The extended betting time makes a staking plan even more valuable.
Being able to spread out your bets will help you bet sustainably and enjoy betting on the tournament for its entire duration.
Keep to a staking plan
There are 4 main ways to score in rugby union. ‘Grounding’ the rugby ball in the other teams try-line scores you 5 points. After that, teams have a chance to kick the ball into the goal for an additional 2 points.
Drop goals award teams 3 points. Penalties awarded because of foul play result in a kick at goal for 3 points. This is one of the more common ways of scoring at the elite level.
Keep track of your results
As with any betting, you will have winners and losers. It’s important to keep a note of your results and determine why the outcome happened.
With the multi-day set up, keeping a record of your bets will help you notice if a specific player is performing above or below your expectations and then adapt your bets accordingly.
