Golf Matched Betting + Arbitrage Betting in Golf
Matched betting has redefined sports wagering by turning bookmaker promotions into near-guaranteed profit—and golf, with its year-round tour schedule and wealth of markets, is a natural fit.
At Oddsmart, we’ve built a comprehensive suite of golf-focused matched betting tools and calculators to guide you from spotting the most profitable offers through to automatically laying bets on exchanges.
Whether you’re backing a major champion at The Masters, predicting a surprise carding at the DP World Tour, or exploiting “most birdies” specials on the PGA Tour, Oddsmart gives you the edge to make every round of golf pay off.
Why Matched Betting Works for Golf
Golf’s tapestry of markets—outright winners, stroke-play head-to-heads, first-round leaders, group matches, “most birdies” or “most eagles”—provides fertile ground for bookmaker promotions.
Online bookmakers constantly roll out incentives to attract punters, including:
- Free bets for tournament outright selections
- Enhanced odds on top-10 finishes
- Money-back if your pick misses the cut
- Refunds on lead-after-round specials if a player falters
Matched betting leverages these by placing opposing bets:
- Back bet with the bookmaker (e.g. £10 on Rory McIlroy at odds of 8.0).
- Lay bet on an exchange (lay against McIlroy with the precise stake to lock in profit whatever the outcome).
Your qualifying bets secure the free-bet value or refund as profit, and golf’s steady cadence—from the four Majors to weekly tour events—means there’s always another promotion to exploit.

The key to profitable golf matched betting is quickly identifying the most valuable promotions.
Oddsmart’s OddsFinder constantly scans leading bookmakers in real time to highlight:

Filter by tournament, market type or minimum odds, and OddsFinder presents a ranked list of the highest-expected-value opportunities. No more manually hopping between sites—simply choose your next golf promotion and get betting.
Calculating Your Golf Betting Stakes Precisely
Accurate staking is vital to preserve profit. Oddsmart’s calculators eliminate guesswork and helps you finds matched golf bets like our Matched Betting Calculator where you can enter your back stake, back odds, lay odds and exchange commission to display the exact lay stake required.
Select “Golf” as your sport and pick the relevant market.
Our calculators guide you through exactly how much to lay on the exchange so that every bet yields the profit you expect.
Automating Lay Bets on the Smarkets Exchange
Golf markets can shift rapidly—particularly around cut lines or as contention changes over the weekend.
Our software integrates with the Smarkets major sports betting exchange:
- Pick your matched opportunity in OddsFinder.
- Click “Lay”, and set your maximum acceptable odds.
- Confirm, and Oddsmart’s Bet Matcher places your lay bet in seconds, even as markets move during play.
For multi-leg free bets—such as “outright winner + top-10 finish”—the Multi-Leg Matcher hedges every element in one go.
You enjoy the golf; we handle the hedging.
Tracking Your Golf Profits with Profit Tracker
Managing dozens of golf promotions across tours and seasons requires clarity.
Oddsmart’s Profit Tracker brings everything into focus:
- Net profit per bookmaker.
- ROI by tour (PGA, DP World, LPGA).
- Breakdown by market type: outrights, head-to-heads, statistics specials.
- Strategy insights: free bets, enhanced odds, refund offers.
Interactive dashboards highlight which events and tools deliver the best returns. You may find that Majors offer slimmer margins but greater volume of promotions, while mid-week tour events yield steadier ROI—helping you fine-tune your approach for maximum gains.
These specialist golf betting tools ensure you never miss a golf-specific edge, from the opening tee-off at Augusta to the final putt at St Andrews.
