Daily golf matchups with tie A's possibility

Daily golf matchups with tie A's possibility If I get like +100 on a Daily round bet with bet cancelled when a tie occurs, how much extra should i get with tie as a possibiliy. Actually its like the difference between Pick vs -0.5. Is there a general rule of thumb?

Not sure exactly what you mean here, but I've seen sportsbooks post matchups and if there is a tie you lose, unless you bet the tie line, like they have in Soccer for example, [B]however[/B] this is for tournament golf matchups the tie can be anywhere from 8/1 to 14/1 depending on the book. Daily matchups will have plenty of ties and avoid the bookie that says you lose on the tie.......to get extra as you say? 1/4 of the Tournament matchup tie line, my best guess is 5/2 to 3/1.

I think what he means and if not I am curious on this. What is 1/2 a stroke worth?? For example if Tiger is -150 versus Phil in a daily matchup would he be -110 if he were giving up 1/2 a stroke or more or less like -120 or +110??

1/2 a stroke is worth more with the Top players head to head like Tiger vs Phil Mickelson, 1/2 a stroke in a daily round by round matchup is huge and is worth aprox 60-65 cents.

any reason the books don't post -.5 shot lines in addition to/instead of large money lines? I would guess with as many matchups as they already have they don't want the extra burden of putting up those lines as well?

5 Dimes has many -1/2, +1/2 lines......low limits though, all other books especially those here in Las Vegas, don't have a clue and won't post that type of prop other than for the majors, golf matchups in general are a losing sport/low handle for them, they do not need the extra sharp action.

At Betfair where ties a possibility on daily matchups, the odds of a tie is around 9/1 (10,0 European odds - +900 American) and that seems not to differ, whether its an even match or an unbalanced match. Actually I compared some prices between Pinnacle and Betfair. It looks like the premium for taking -0.5 is around 20 cents. I would expect the possibility for ties would be greater on 18holes than it is for 72 holes. Only 10% of daily matchups tie, if the odds on Betfair is right.

Have not seen -1/2 matchups at Pinnacle ever??

No, i have neither :-) But I compared pinnacle pickem odds to odds on betfair where you bet Daily matchups with tie as a possibility. At around even odds, you get 20-25 cents extra for making the -0.5 bet. Actually its possible for me to construct a pickem bet, by playing first on the guy I favor at -0.5 and Then just enough on the tie to break even if it ties.
