With the 2008 Master’s Tournament just around the corner, some of the world’s greatest golfing talents are flexing their muscles at the 2008 Buick Open. With 2008 promising to be another vintage year of golfing, it is unfortunate that many golfing fans are unaware of the excellent betting opportunities available to golf fans willing to test their knowledge against bookmakers.
Whilst you may have been tempted to participate in golf betting in the past, the wide variety of golf betting options available to punters may have put you off. The variety in golf betting is partially due to the fact that golf allows bookmakers to set up odds on several aspects of play. The great thing about this variety is that each punter can focus on the aspect of the game that they feel they know best.
Here are some of the most popular golf betting options available:
Three balls betting: Three balls betting is a golf betting option you’re likely to run into frequently. Three ball betting works by pitting three players in a golf tournament against each other in a particular round.
For example you might have Tiger Woods, Jim Furyk and Ernie Els matched up in a three balls bet for the 1st round of the US Open, with all three players priced at specific odds. All you have to do is pick which player you want to back and how much money you want to bet. If your player puts in the best performance in the round you’ll get paid out your stake multiplied by the odds.
Tournament match bets: Tournament match bets are a simplified version of three ball betting. This betting option sets up ‘virtual’ matches between any two players in a tournament. You can then bet on which of the two players will achieve the best score in the tournament, or you can bet on a draw.
An example tournament match bet might feature Tiger Woods against Vijay Singh. Each player will be priced at specific odds, and odds will also be available on a draw. Your job is to pick the player you think will win the match-up and then sit back and watch the action unfold.
Betting on an outright winner: This golf betting option is as simple as they come. Simply select which player you think will win the tournament of your choice. A major advantage of these bets is that they allow you to be on an event months in advance, often at high odds.
Betting on an outright winner often features an ‘each way’ betting option. Betting each way doubles your stake and your bet. When you bet each way you bet both on your selection winning and your selection coming placed. If your selection wins you will get paid out on both bets, however if your player fails to win but still manages to place you’ll be paid out the odds on your place bet.
These three basic bets are sufficient to get you started with golf betting. Bookmakers offer a wide variety of other bets and specials for all major golf tournaments which you can explore at leisure once you’ve opened your online betting account. With a year of fantastic golf ahead you’ll really enjoy the spice that golf betting will add to your experience of this year’s majors.
With both the Mayakoba Golf Classic and the Accenture Match Play Championship around the corner opportunity is rife.
Betting on the horses can be as complicated or as easy as you would like it to be. The more you understand the racing form, the more you will know about the horses and the races they are running.
Step One
Go to race track, off-track betting facility or casino sports book. You can bet on the horses at all of these locations, but it’s more fun to bet at the track so you can watch the race.
Step Two
Know that thoroughbred racing is the most popular and the most common kind of horse race in America, with standard bred and quarter horse racing next. These distinctions refer to the various horse breeds.
Step Three
Buy and study the racing form
Step Four
Make sure you know the length of the race on which you are interested in betting and how your horse does in races of this length.
Step Five
Go to the betting window.
Step Six
Place your bet. Usually the smallest bet allows is one dollar.
Step Seven
Remember how much you bet, and do not lose your betting ticket or receipt.
Step Eight
Remember the odds when you placed the bet.
Step Nine
Return to the window after the race has been run and collect your winnings.
Step Ten
Throw your ticket on the floor if you lost.
Tips:
#1: Races are measured in furlongs or eighths of a mile.
#2: Betting on a horse to win, means you are betting it will come in first, betting on a horse to place means you are betting it will come in first or second, and betting on a horse to show means you are betting it will come in first, second or third. Betting on the exacta or perfecta means you are betting on the first two horses to win in the correct order of finish. Betting on the quinella or quiniela means you are betting on two horses to come in first and second, but those two horses don’t have to finish in any particular order. Betting on the daily double is betting on the winners of two races. You must be correct in both races to win the bet.

If you aren’t a roulette player, but have walked past a busy roulette wheel in a casino, you may have wondered what all the excitement and commotion was. There is definitely something almost magical and mesmerizing about the spinning wheel and sound of the Ivory ball clinking around and finally settling into one of the pockets. Here is an introduction to the game of roulette for new players.
There are two different types of popular roulette wheels. The most common wheel in the United States is a double zero wheel called American roulette. The American roulette wheel contains the numbers 1 through 36, a 0 and a 00. This creates a house edge of over 5%. The wheel that is most common worldwide is a single zero wheel that is usually called a European roulette wheel. They contain a 0 and the numbers 1 through 36. The house edge on a European wheel is about 2.5%.
You can place a wide range of bets on each roulette spin, offering a wide range of payouts. Here are the most common bets and payouts.
