calloum Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Dear Punters loungers I was wondering if any body could help me with this question: I wish to bet against the player who is leader after day 1 of the Joburg open. So instead of betting for him to win the tournament, I want to bet against him. Is this possible and if so where and how ? I have been doing my numbers and if I am correct i will be millionair in 1 year haha :) Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froment Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet Hi, Calloum, :welcome to the forum! if you want to bet against an outcome, you need to LAY it at betting exchange such as betfair. I've just checked, they have that event, so you go there, choose Golf - Joburg Open 2014 - Winner. Next to the name of player of your interest, you will see blue and pink boxes. Blue boxes contain odds for that player TO WIN (you back him), and pink ones show odds for player NOT TO WIN (you lay him). So, if you like lay odds, you place the bet and enjoy your bet. :OK Be careful with lay odds - they don't work the way back odds do; if you see odds of, say, 4.00 (decimal odds), that means you risk 3 units to win 1 unit, and then betfair will rob you 2 to 7 % commission from that 1 unit you won...

calloum Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet I done my first bet. But! It got cancelled as someone did not bet against me. Is there a way to lay a player (so bet on him not to win) without having another better do the opposite, so bet him to win. maybe a different site ?

No. You must not have placed the bet correctly as if there is a lay price available you can place the bet. What golfer was it that you were looking to take on last week?

calloum Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet I laid my bet on Molinari, who was at that moment in the 1st place on the 2nd day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouch Potato Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet Occasionally Pinnacle will allow you to bet "No" on "Will this person win the tournament" market. I'm not sure after what round they put them up though, and you can almost always get better odds by laying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calloum Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet Thank you Mr Potato, will have a look when the next tournament is up. Still wondering what I did wrong with betfair though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidymac Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet You found out anything yet Aidymac ? Hi Calloum. You should have had no problems laying Molinari. Go into the exchange and on the left you see "Back" odds, on the right are the "lay" odds. You need to click on the lay box which is the red box and enter the amount you want to lay. It is as simple as that mate. It will tell you if your bet has been matched or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calloum Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet so your bet has to be matched by another player? I have treid again this time Woman's Australian open layd Suzan Petterson to win. backer odds 5.9 and Backer's Stake 2 your total liability on this stake is 9.80. I hope it owrks and someone will back, I don't even understand how much I could win. I think it's 2 euro's.... just wanna work this out before the big money starts. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calloum Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet It doesn' twant to accept the bet. 2 options 1 not anough money in my account.. which is not true or you have exceeded your exposure or loss limit. Frustrating.... I don't know if it makes any difference but there is no amount in the pink box, it is empty. lthnx a bunch everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouch Potato Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet If it's an Australian event you need to have your Australian wallet funded. If you are not based in Oz or bet on cricket chances are you have not come across this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calloum Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet wow, this betting this is starting to get well complicated. I will try again on another tournament, fingers crossed :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calloum Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet Tried it again today Northern Trust Open laid Dustin Johnson. Currently 1st position.

calloum Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet What price / stake have you laid him to? Well the money is back in my account. My liability was € 9,75 So i could lose that. It was only 2 euro's in the first box, I think that wsa the ammount I could win. I was really into starting this before, but it's getting very frustrating. so what have I done wrong this time :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calloum Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet ok, well i give up. tried it 3 times now. i know there is money in it, but if I can't get my bet to go thourgh that's very unfortunate. Maye betfair knows there is money to be won. As I know someone who earns he's money this way.... But bigger amoutns, but wanted to starts small to start with..... back to simpel football matches.

Aidymac Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet You click the lay button (red button) on the right hand side, enter your stake and click submit.. That is it. How much were you laying for? At what price? And how much was in your account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calloum Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet I wish that was it... I can not find it again. But after clicking/selectnig the pink box you get option to fill in the 1st box i enterd 2, the 2nd box had 9.85 so that is my liability. what I had in my accoutn was 9.85 10 euro's I put on the account to try this. the bet was accepted and money went out of my account, after the tournament it was back again....

Crouch Potato Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Re: how to... golf bet That just means the bet wasn't matched. Money leaving your balance does indicate a bet was accepted, only that it was requested. Betfair has a guide on how to use the site, I suggest you use it. Your issues don't really seem to be with golf betting but using the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
