Certainly not a bad way to think. I found the online golf betting has one aspect to it that gives me an advantage. Say you bet several golfers to win, each at $100. After the first day, the website offers you money on each of your bet even though you were betting winner for the whole tourney. Say one of your golfers took a 2 stroke lead after the first day, the website apparently doesn't want to risk him winning it all and giving me 1600, so they may give me a offer of 235 or something. If you have a big name golfer that didnt have a great couple days but is in the running, they may offer you 39 on your 100 bet.
I had always bet at a casino or with bookies, I didn't know the website was going to do that until I started betting golf there. Before that if I bet golf bet for someone to win, he had to win it all. Say your golfer is leading after the 3rd round by 4 strokes...looks like he is going to win...so if the original bet was a 1200 payout, they will say offer you 900. And of course you can pick up more golfers as the tourney goes along. I usually start the tourney betting a couple of the favorites, 2-3 of the guys in the 20-1 range, and a couple of long shots. So maybe I got 700 on 7 golfers, 150 on the favorites, maybe just 45 one of the long shots. Getting offers after each round, if your golfer is doing awful, they may offer you 29 cents or nothing at all. Its fun, you got to make decisions every day.
