If your Outright Each Way bet has been paid out for less than you expected, it is most likely due to dead heat ties in the final leaderboard. A dead heat occurs when two or more participants tie for a position. This will only affect bets placed on golfers who ‘place’, as the winner will be decided by a playoff if necessary.

For help on calculating your bet settlement, try our Golf Calculator here

Your payout with dead heat applied will depend on:

• The player you backed
• The odds you took when you placed the bet 
• The Each Way places offered when you placed the bet.  
• The Each Way place terms (1/5 of the odds you took when you placed the bet) 

 

Your stake will be affected as follows:

• Win part of the stake is settled as a loser.  
• Each way part of the bet will be settled as a place, with the stake divided by the number of players tied for the place, multiplied by the number of places available. 
  
  EG: You had €/£5 each-way on M Wolff (40/1 pre-tournament). EW terms were 1/5, for 5 places. Your bet would be settled as: 
• €/£10 stake = €/£5 win stake + €/£5 EW stake 
• Win stake = loser  
• €/£5 EW stake divided by 5 (number of DH competitors) = €/£1 
• €/£1 multiplied by 2 (number of places available) = €/£2 DH stake 
• Odds of 40/1 at 1/5 EW terms terms = 8/1 
• Total Winnings: €/£2 x 8/1 = €/£16 
• Total Returns: €/£16 winnings + €/£2 DH stake = €/£18

Each ways:

If you bet with 3 each way places on Louis Oosthuizen or John Rahm, your bet will be paid based on 1/2 of your each way stake, as there were 2 selections tied for 1 place.  

If you bet with 6 each way places on Brooks Koepka or Mackenzie Hughes, your bet will be paid based on 1/2 of your each way stake as there were 2 selections tied for 1 place.

If you bet with 8 each way places on any of the players tied for 8th your bet will be paid based on 1/4 of your each way stake as there were 4 selections tied for 1 place.

If you bet with 10 each way places on any of the players tied for 8th your bet will be paid based on 3/4 of your each way stake as there were 4 selections tied for 3 places.
