Golf bet

[Jodie22]

Hi

I put a golf bet on for a neighbour. The bet was

Two tournaments 

£2.50 double (5.00)

22/1  first 4 places 1/4 odds   Won

12/1  first 4 places 1/5 odds   Forth

 

On the settled bet its saying

1-3 places  1/4 odds

1-1 places  1/1 odds

 

I don't  bet on golf  so not sure if this is right.

On line bet calculators say  total return £55.25  where William Hill have paid £27

Which is right?

Hi Jodie,

depends on how many players were in the top 4. Could be 20 and then it gets diluted on your winnings. Which tourny was it? which player?

If the player finished clear 4th (no-one else on the same score as him/her) then the correct payout would have been £55.25 but if they were tied with one other player then it would be halved to £27.63 (Half stake treated as a winner and half treated as a loser as the players are sharing 4th and 5th place.). If more than 2 players were tied for 4th place then the settlement is generous!

(Just to check something; I assume you didn't write "equally divided" or "E.D." on the slip? - I'm not sure if Hill's would accept such an instruction for a golf bet but it would have a bearing on the correct settlement!)
