Golf betting – breaks your heart right?

You’ve seen it happen. One minute your player is two shots clear with three holes to play, but then finds every ditch, dyke and water hazard to plummet down the leaderboard quicker than Rory McIlroy in the final round of a Major.

Before you know it, your hard-earned return in the Top 5/10/20 markets are dropping faster than Gareth Southgate’s stock as the dreaded ‘ties’ rule kicks in. The unbridled joy of your super-shrewd picking has been reduced to a maths test and become golf’s equivalent of VAR.

Well we’re here to tell you that’s all over, friends. And here’s why.

 

Thanks to Paddy Power’s revamped rules on golf’s Top 5/10/20 markets, you can put both sets of fingers away and cancel your application to a Phd in Applied Maths to work out the winnings.

Paddy’s now paying the full price as quoted pre tee-off in the Top 5/10/20 market – with no dead-heat deductions. Woof!

That’s right! From now on you’re no longer tied second, fifth or 10th with deductions – you’re just second, fifth or 10th – at the full price.

Here’s a quick example before Thursday’s tee off at the John Deere Classic.

Austrian Sepp Straka has posted two top 5 finishes in his last four starts and was just outside the Top 20 last week at the Travelers  Championship. More importantly, he’s the defending champion at TPC Deere Run, Illinois, after a two-shot triumph over Brendon Todd last year.

If you fancy Straka to go close again you’ll get the full odds quoted below in the pre-tournament Top 5/10/20 markets. 

How clear can we make this?

No Splits. No Ties. No delays while VAR has a re-check. Nothing but the price you took before tee-off.

Bosh!
