At Cloudbet, we’re the premium place to bet on golf with Bitcoin. In fact, we were the first online sportsbook to accept payments using the world’s most popular crypto, and we now also allow you to bet with many other cryptocurrencies too, including Ethereum, Dash, Litecoin, Dogecoin and Ripple. If it’s golf betting using cryptocurrency you’re looking for, you’re in the right place!

Before you can bet on golf with Bitcoin, you’ll need to first create an account. It will only take a couple of minutes and you’ll then have access to an amazing array of golf betting options.

How Do You Bet on Golf?

Golf betting is exceptionally easy when you play here at Cloudbet. Assuming you’ve already got an account, you’ll need to fund your account with Bitcoin or any of the other available cryptocurrencies. Transfers are fast, so you won’t have to wait around before you start betting on golf, plus we charge no fees for processing deposits.

Now you’ve got some money in your account, it’s time to place some bets! You’ll find all the golf tournaments you can bet on by accessing the dedicated golf page. Click on your chosen tournament and you’ll find all the available bets, which range from outright winner through to markets on specific rounds.

If you’re lucky enough to scoop a prize, you’ll be able to withdraw it using a selection of crypto options. However, many people instead choose to use their winnings to place more bets, in the hope that they’ll manage to get lucky again.

At Cloudbet, we offer a range of different golf betting opportunities, ensuring that all punters will find what they’re looking for. If you’re new to golf betting, or if you’re simply looking for a little inspiration, we’ve outlined the three most popular golf bets below.

Outright 

This is a bet on which player will finish the tournament at the top of the leaderboard. Bet early and you’ll often get exceptionally high odds on your chosen player, especially if you back a long shot. If you’re looking for a bet that’s quicker to resolve, you’ll also often be able to find outright markets for the different rounds.

3-Balls

In most golf tournaments, golfers play the rounds in groups of three, called 3-balls. You can bet on a specific 3-ball, predicting which of the three players will have the best round.

Prop Bets

Prop bets are bets on outcomes that don’t directly affect the overall result of the tournament. For example, you might bet on whether a hole-in-one will be scored during the competition.

Golf Live Betting

Golf isn’t like most sports. Instead of taking a few hours, an entire tournament takes days. However, you’ll be glad to know that you can keep betting on golf for the entirety of a tournament, thanks to the live betting offered here at Cloudbet. You can sit down and watch the tournament and use your expertise to predict what will happen next. There are various live betting options offered for every tournament.

Don’t think that you have to stop at one bet, as many golf betting fans choose to place multiple bets over the course of a tournament. If you place a winning bet, you’ll receive your prize straight away, so you can quickly place another bet and hopefully win again!

If you like the idea of betting live on golf, you’ll be excited by what you find here at Cloudbet. Just sign up and deposit some money, and you’ll then be ready to bet live on golf and many other sports.

Golf takes place throughout the year, with tournaments being held all over the world. This is perfect for golf betting fans, as they’ll always have something to bet on. However, some tournaments attract more interest than others, and you can find out about the five biggest golf tournaments below.

  • The Masters. The most prestigious golf tournament in the world, played at the Augusta National every year. It’s the first major of the year, taking place every April. Betting on this tournament is always popular, even with those without much of an interest in the game.
  • PGA Championship. The second of the majors, which is played annually on the weekend before Memorial Day weekend, moving to a different US venue every year.
  • US Open. The third major is also held in the US, and like the PGA Championship, it changes location every year. It takes place in the latter part of June.
  • The Open Championship. The only major played outside the US, as it takes place at a different UK course each year. It is held in the latter part of July and is the only major played on a links course.
  • Ryder Cup. This is different from the above tournaments, as it’s a team tournament, played between the USA and Europe every two years. It alternates between being held in the US and Europe. It’s exceptionally popular with betting fans, with many exciting markets offered.
Golf Betting Tips

If you’re looking for some handy golf betting tips, take a look at the three top tips we’ve come up with below.

  • Understand the course. Every golf course is different. Some suit long drivers, while others play into the hands of short game specialists. Understand the course being played and then place your bets accordingly.
  • Use bankroll management. It’s not glamourous, but bankroll management is vital. Don’t spend your money all in one go. Instead, spread things out and make sure you’ve still got some money left over for another day.
  • Don’t use golf betting systems. If you ever see someone advertising a golf betting system, steer well clear. These might look like they work, but none really guarantee you’ll win. Instead, accept that whether you win is down to a combination of skill and luck.

If you’re looking to bet on golf online, you’re in the right place, as we offer a fantastic selection of golf betting markets, along with some of the best odds around. So, sign up today and you’ll be betting on golf in no time!
