Frequently Asked Questions

How does Golf Tipsters work?

Our algorithm analyzes Official World Golf Rankings, historical performance data, and real-time sportsbook odds to calculate each golfer's true probability of finishing inside the top 5, top 10 and top 20. When the sportsbooks' odds imply a lower probability than our model predicts, we've found a value bet.

Which markets do you bet?

Top-finish markets - Top 5, Top 10 and Top 20 - not outright winners. Picking the winner of a 150-man field is close to a coin toss nobody wins consistently; finishing position is a much more answerable question, and it's where we find the mispricing. A golfer priced around +10000 to win takes the tournament less than 1% of the time but finishes top 20 about 20% of the time, so the top-finish bet lands regularly instead of once a season. Which market we take depends on the price: shorter-priced contenders are usually a Top 5 or Top 10, longshots are usually a Top 20. Every pick names the exact market and the sportsbook.

Which sportsbooks do you cover?

We compare odds from all major US sportsbooks including DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, PointsBet, and others. Our odds comparison ensures you always get the best available price.

Is there a free version?

There's no permanently free tier, but every new member gets 30 days free - the full service, not a cut-down version. Our event previews and betting guides on the blog are open to everyone, and the complete track record is public.

What's included in Pro membership?

Pro members get full predictions for the entire field, optimal stake calculations based on your bankroll, odds comparison across all sportsbooks, weekly email tips, and access to our compounding strategy.

How much does Pro membership cost?

Pro membership is $79/month or $499/year. Both plans include a 30-day free trial, and the yearly plan saves you $449 a year compared to paying monthly.

Can I try it before paying?

Your first 30 days are free - four tournaments of full picks, stake sizing and line shopping before you pay anything. Every pick and every result is published in full, so you can check the record rather than take our word for it. Cancel in two clicks, any time.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time from your account page. There are no long-term commitments.

How do I use the tips?

Each event lists our top value picks with the market to bet (Top 5, Top 10 or Top 20), the recommended stake (in points), the best available sportsbook odds, and our model's edge over the market. Place the bet in the market named, at the book named, before the event starts. Pro members get access to optimal stake sizing based on your bankroll and odds comparison across all major US sportsbooks.

How are odds displayed?

In American odds (moneyline), the same format the US sportsbooks use. A price of +2000 means a $10 bet returns $210 - your $10 stake back plus $200 profit. A minus price like -150 means you risk $150 to win $100. Every pick shows the best available number across the books we track.
