Tour Championship golf trading strategy and tips

If you don't fancy backing anyone EW in the 30 man Tour championship field, trading the event is a good alternative. I'm going to outline a pretty simple trading strategy I use in this type of scenario: Basically I'm going to dutch (split my total outlay/stakes on all my selections so that each would return the same amount if 1 of them won) my three selections of Snedeker(26.0); Mahan(21.0); Stricker (24.0) for a total outlay of €153.32 (see screenshot - click to enlarge).


I'm now going to target odds of 4.0 and place an order to lay back my whole €153.52 on each of the three players. Should either Snedeker, Mahan or Stricker then hit these odds of 4.0 in-running, my lay bet will be matched and my whole tournament investment will be covered for a freeroll. Please note that all three may fail to hit these odds.


Should the tournament go well, I would personally then look to trade fully (green up) around the 54 hole mark (even if 4.0 hasn't been hit) but this can obviously be volatile. Exiting after 36 holes can be a decent option if your guys are in contention. Obviously you can be bolder and leave it until in-running in round 4 if that's your preferred style.

What is expected Strokes Gained Course Fit ?

Bryan pioneered the concept of Expected Strokes Gained Course Fit (xSGF) in golf betting. xSGF can be predicted using my model below. For prospective golf betting tips it projects ahead of time how many shots a player is expected to pick up per round on average on a particular golf course. It's weighed against a neutral golf course of the same rating.

What is Progressive Form in Golf Betting?

Progressive form in golf betting differs from current form in that players are showing a trend in the right direction in their recent scoring. Trending form has a high predictive value in golf betting and can also catch players under the radar at an inflated price vs their true betting odds.
