Betting Strategy
- Outright winner pricing carries 25-35% house hold; top-10 and top-20 finish props often offer better EV.
- Three-ball matchups (3 players, predict first to finish round) reduce field variance.
- Course-fit data drives sharp golf betting — bombers vs accuracy, bentgrass vs Bermudagrass greens.
- First-round leader markets have high variance but offer value if you have a clear favorite.
