It is the types of betting opportunities available that may be slightly different than football, although they are still highly similar to horse racing. When you see the odds are listed singularly, you are betting on place-finish. For instance, betting on the Road to Dubai 2010 golf tournament, you will see a Top 4 Finish bet is available; if you place a £10 bet on Lee Westwood at 1.56 odds, you will get £15.60 if Westwood finishes the tournament in first, second, third, or fourth place.

You can also bet on tournament winners as well. You will enjoy better odds and larger profits should you win the bet, but you do have to make better calculations to pinpoint the best golfer to win the tournament. Still suing the Race to Dubai 2010 as an example, if you got 1.56 odds for Top 4 Finish bet, you will enjoy a nice 5.1 odds if you bet on Lee Westwood winning the tournament. The good news is, golf betting can be studied and mastered easily. It can serves as one great opportunity to make money, or a side bet just in case you get bored with football or horse race betting.
