Spread Betting Solutions

For all golf fans, the US Masters in early April is without doubt one of the highlights of the golfing calendar. For betting fans though, it's also a fantastic betting opportunity and a close study of past and current form is vital if you want to bet profitably on the event. Here are some of the most important tournament form statistics you should consider before betting on the Masters

Financial Spread Trading 1 -- Since 1990, more than 80% of US Masters winners have won or finished 2nd atleast once already that year.

Nfl Betting Spread In that time, just Jose Maria Olazabal in 1999, Ben Crenshaw in 1995 and Nick Faldo in 1990 failed to finish top 2 or better on either the US PGA or European tour in the year they won the tournament.

New spread betting concept from Sporting Index which has much lower stakes, simple language instructions and you can open an account and start betting in 5 minutes.

Commodity Spread Trading Interestingly all three golfers had already won the Masters in a previous year however -- in 1994, 1984 and 1989 respectively.

Tournament Winner, Quarter Betting, Stage of Elimination If a player does not take part in an event bets on that selection will be void.

Betting Exchange Spread 2 -- This year, more than ever, Augusta will favour the big hitters. That's because the course has been extended a further 155 yards to 7445 yards with alterations to six holes. Augusta has now been lengthened over 400 yards in the last 5 years. The course plays long so unless there is a lot or rain to negate the big hitters advantage, favour those golfers who rank well for driving distance.

You can bet as little as 1p per point on many markets, meaning BetHiLo is the perfect site to hone your spread betting skills before venturing out and making larger bets. The bet placement process is slightly different, too. With Sporting Index you simply say whether you want to 'Buy' or 'Sell' a given spread, but with BetHiLo, they use more straightforward terminology, using 'Higher' or 'Lower', understand stake selection screen. When you enter your stake per point, the site tells you how much your maximum win and (probably more importantly for spread betting beginners) your maximum loss would be if you bet at that stake. It means you can adjust your stake until you find a liability you are happy with before you bet ( odds betting, where you know what you're risking when you place your bet).

Advanced Commodity Spread 3 -- The other extremely important stat is the Greens-In-Regulation (GIR) percentage. GIR simply measures how often a golfer reaches the green in the regulation number of strokes (or less). For example, on a par 4 hole, Regulation would be to make the green in two strokes. On a par 5, three strokes. To illustrate just how vital this statistic is, only once in the last six years has the Masters winner NOT ranked in the first two for GIR percentage at the tournament's conclusion.

Online Spread Betting 4 -- The Masters is a tournament for proven winners. Big name golfers such as Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Vijay Singh have tremendous records in this event. Mickelson for instance has finished no worse than 12th in the last 8 years! Unlike the British Open, surprise long odds winners are extremely rare. No golfer playing the Masters for the first time has won the tournament since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979, so previous Masters form is a must.

Stock Spread Trading Armed with the above pointers, it should be possible to eliminate a large percentage of the 2006 US Masters field as possible winners. The winning golfer is likely to have good previous Masters form, have won or finished second in a tournament atleast once already that year, and rank highly in the driving distance and GIR stats for his respective tour.
