When will Pinnacle offer Each Way betting on Golf?

[Ninja]

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.

No golf bettors here?

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.
