Live Betting Strategy At LIV Bedminster

The LIV shotgun start setup creates more immediate action from the start, but it also opens the door for LIV golf betting fans to bet based on unique starting positions.

What that means is bettors may have an opportunity to predict which golfers whose odds may lengthen at the beginning of the event simply based on the Bedminster Old Course’s layout.

Getting those golfers after they begin on difficult holes may be a way to secure extra large payouts.

Specifically, golfers that start on in the hole nine to 13 range are likely to struggle early. Over those holes, it appears the golf course will play much more difficult.

Hole Range:	Yards:	Yards Per Hole:	Par Average:	Yards Per Shot:
9-13	2328	465.6	4	116.4
14-8	5393	414.8461538	4	103.7115385

Expecting golfers to falter on 9-13 will likely be wise because of how long the par fours. That means waiting out that stretch may lead to longer odds on the other side, with the opposite being true for golfers as well.

When they begin on the easier holes, their scores will likely look better than expected and will have worse payouts than they truly deserve.
