There's been a bit of excitement around recently for golf fans in Australia. The Masters was another epic tournament last week, and now this weekend, the Grange Golf Course in Adelaide will host an event for the LIV Golf tour - the first time that LIV Golf has been held in this country which should be pretty exciting.
Our golfing guru Johnny Houston has taken a closer look at this event, and provided his best betting tips, in our LIV Golf Adelaide preview.
If you’re looking to bet on LIV tournament in Adelaide then we highly recommend you take a look at the markets on Betfair. You’ll find a distinct edge at Betfair where the exchange offers far superior odds on the Outright winners market than you'll find with any other Australian sportsbook.
For example, if you want to bet on the hometown hero, and tournament favourite, in Cameron Smith, then you’ll find odds of $10 at most of the major Australian sportsbooks. At Betfair, based on the markets on Thursday morning, you’ll get a price of $12.83 after factoring in commission. That’s a 28.30% increase which equals more money in your back pocket!
Or as another example, we’ve seen a few Twitter golf gurus keen on Phil Mickleson to have a big tournament. You could back him at one of the many Australian sportsbooks that have him listed at $41 to win, or you could place your bet at Betfair and end up with odds of $66.50 for a massive 62.20% increase! That's an enormous difference in price and one that you should not overlook.
These numbers are staggering and show the importance of shopping around for the best odds possible whenever you are betting. And when you do that, you’ll find the best odds are indeed at Betfair.
