When will Pinnacle offer Each Way betting on Golf?

Ninja · Aug 26, 2003

Every major book offers each way or place betting on Golf, but not Pinnacle.

Anyone know why?

If they don't want to offer each way then I guess its out of the question to expect them to offer the Seniors or LPGA, but it would be nice to see.

Please explain each way?

Each way is a 2nd bet made at the same time and for the same amount of the win bet. It pays 1/4 or 1/5 (depending on the book) of the win odds for finishing in the top 4 or 5.

Place betting is wagering on a golfer to finish in the top 4 or 5 but without having a separate win bet. This way you're not forced to have a win bet if you don't want one. Olympic and 5 Dimes have place betting. Olympic calls it Show betting while 5 Dimes calls it Top 5.

I'm really surprised that Pinnacle doesn't offer either option.

Every book here in UK and Europe goes EW on golf and every other major Ante-post(futures) market (Superbowl, etc etc).

You can get up to 5 places on some of the major golf tourny's just shop around.

Thanks Ninja

Your welcome Chuck.

FYI, Olympic pays 1/4 of the win price for finishing in the top 4, but 5 Dimes almost always pays less than 1/5 for finishing in the top 5.......sometimes a lot less.
