Curiously Golf was the first market I actively bet on with Betfair way back in June 2000. I’ve become a bit of a specialist in this sport since, but mainly focus on the majors now. Golf is an unusual sport to trade because you have very large fields. You typically find that the US Masters…

The US Masters Golf The first major is upon us and it’s a market that will pull in many millions in bets and trades on Betfair. We have reached that time of the year when we can watch the finely manicured lawns of the US Masters golf tournament. It’s a huge Betfair trading market that…

Why the Ryder Cup is different The Ryder Cup is very different from other golf betting tournaments right from the opening ceremony through to the way it’s played and how. Qualifying for the Ryder Cup Europe team has become an aim for any top PGA tour player and the captains will probably not need to…

The Open Golf Championship Golf isn’t the first thing you think of when Betfair trading. But, curiously, golf was one of my first markets on Betfair. This was somewhat accidental as back then I was arbing (or sort of matched betting) between bookmakers and Betfair. So my Betfair trading Golf heritage goes all the way…

The British Open is different from other majors in that it is played on rotation schedule across a number of ‘links’ courses in the UK. Links courses are traditionally near the sea, are near or on dunes, have an uneven surface and a sandy soil. This is in stark contrast to a lot of ‘modern’ courses which are often set in parkland or woods and carefully manicured.

I enjoy my annual foray into the US Open Golf because it reminds me of my very first activity on betting exchanges way back in June 2000. Aside from a small flutter on some financial markets, it was the Golf that launched my betting exchange career. Back then Tiger Woods was being offered at 4.00 for the championship and Colin Montgomerie …
I like the US Masters. This is mainly because it’s the only major played on the same course each year. This means you can collect a ton of stats on how the course plays and form your strategies around that. It gives me a good guide as to when to …
Once every two years, the sporting world turns its attention to what is turning into a classic sporting Rivalry, the Ryder Cup.

The ‘fourth major’ starts today in the US and should provide some opportunities. That said, I temper my enthusiasm as the Golf season wears on as history has shown that I do worse at each major as the year progresses. I don’t know exactly why that is, but I suspect as form lines get stronger, opportunities weaken.
The US PGA at first tee last year turned over £5m.
