Outright Winner Bets
Bet on who will win the entire tournament

The most straightforward disc golf bet - pick the tournament winner before it starts. These bets typically offer the best odds for underdogs and can provide significant payouts.

Example:

Paul McBeth+250
Ricky Wysocki+300
Calvin Heimburg+400

A $100 bet on Calvin Heimburg at +400 would win $400 if he wins the tournament.

Strategy Tips:

  • • Research recent form and course history
  • • Consider weather conditions and course layout
  • • Look for value in players with good course records
  • • Don't always bet the favorite - disc golf has many upsets
Head-to-Head Matchups
Bet on which player will finish higher in the tournament

Head-to-head bets pit two players against each other. You're betting on which player will have the better tournament finish, regardless of who wins overall.

Example Matchup:

Eagle McMahon vs. Simon Lizotte
Eagle McMahon
-110
Simon Lizotte
-110

Why Bet Head-to-Head:

  • • Easier to predict than outright winners
  • • Often more even odds between players
  • • Great for backing underdogs against favorites
  • • Available throughout the tournament
Proposition (Prop) Bets
Bet on specific events or achievements during the tournament

Prop bets focus on specific outcomes within the tournament rather than overall winners. These can be some of the most entertaining and profitable bets.

Popular Props:

  • • Will there be a hole-in-one (ace)?
  • • Lowest single round score
  • • Total aces in the tournament
  • • Player to make the most birdies
  • • First round leader
  • • Will the winner be under par?

Example Props:

Ace in Round 1+150
McBeth Lowest Round+200
Over 2.5 Total Aces+180
Live Betting
Bet on changing odds during the tournament

Live betting allows you to place wagers while the tournament is in progress. Odds change in real-time based on player performance and leaderboard position.

Live Betting Advantages:

  • • React to real-time performance
  • • Hedge existing bets
  • • Find value as odds shift
  • • Bet on momentum swings

Live Betting Strategy:

  • • Watch for weather changes affecting play
  • • Monitor leaderboard movements
  • • Look for overreactions in odds
  • • Consider course difficulty by round
