hi wondering if any1 can help me work out return for golf bet,i backed keegan bradley at 66/1 â¬10 each way 1/4 odds paying 6 places, as he tied for 4th along with 4 others was wondering how do the bookies settle this bet as don't do many golf bets, is it like a dead heat in horse racing or do i get 1/4,
I have no idea what they do but if they were paying on 6 places then, if your bet had tied with with 2 others, it would have been simple (ie 1/4 odds). And had your bet finished 6th tying with 2 others you would have received 1/4 odds to 1/3 of your stake. I would imagine that, with 4th, 5th and 6th places each qualifying for 1/4 odds (ie 3 places), the 5 tied 4th places would each be deemed to have dead heated with 2 others (ie 5 places taken, minus the 3 available). That's just my guess but it should be covered in the bookmaker's Rules.
Explained on the betting thread shortrun, the each way ties in golf can get complex enough especially with 5 ties but hope you can make some light of it
