Live In Play Golf Betting

Whilst not always attracting the best odds, live in play betting or in running as it is sometimes called, is a fantastic market for golf punters. It is particularly good for those who not only bet on the sport but who also follow it avidly. Watching golf for many is addictive which has resulted in the huge growth in betting on golf. Their are millions who watch golf on TV and keep up to speed with all the latest golf odds with their online facility at their disposal, whilst in front of the TV have a huge advantage when making bets in play.

The reason is obvious, the punter can see how the golfer is playing and will have a much better idea if that golfer is a worthwhile bet or not. Of course the Bookmakers can too and they will lengthen or shorten odds on that player accordingly. The key to success is knowing the precise time to make the in running bet and at the best Bookmakers odds possible. Free bets are also acceptable with in running betting.

A classic example of this was in the US Open this year, when on the final hole, Tiger Woods, who was a shot behind and needed to make a huge putt to tie the tournament, had odds prior to making the putt of 3/1, the moment he made it, he went to 1/3 to win the tournament – It was a huge betting swing based on one shot.
