Prop Bets are the great unknown in the world of sports betting.  They add a great layer of fun to the equation in any major sporting event .  Whether talking about the Super Bowl coin flip or the duration of the National Anthem, there's a certain element of randomness that plays a fun factor.

THE RULES

• Choose your selections in the poll for this post
  • Desktop Browser required to view and participate in the poll.  Will not show in-app
• Winner will be determined by total payout
  • Assume $100 bet on each item
  • Using American Odds (see below or in poll)
• Deadline at 1200 EST on Black Friday November 23
  • Tee Time is at 3PM EST. 

 

 

If you're unfamiliar with the American Odds rules, here's a brief description:

Use American odds. Next to every decimal odds number is either a positive or negative number in parentheses. If the number is positive, this is how much much money you will make on a standard $100 bet. For example, American odds are (+170) for the money spread on the Miami Marlins this week. This means that for every 100 bitcoin stake, you will receive $170 back. If you put up $10 as your stake, you will get $17 bitcoins back.

• The great thing about American odds is that you get your initial stake back. So if you bet $1, and receive $2 as your winnings, you will get $3 back in total.
• If the American odds number is negative, this is how much you have to produce as your initial stake in order to get $100 back. So if the odds are (-105) you will have to produce at least $105 as your initial stake in order to get $100 back.

[Angry Yeti]

Sweet! Who doesn't love a good prop bet. Thanks for putting this together Stud.

[03trdblack]

This is pretty fun.  Interested to see how far off I will be in my choices.

[Mr. 82]

You forgot the part about this thing being over by about the 14th hole as Tiger smokes Phil in this thing and reminds him of why he will always be his little...well, you can fill in the blank with whatever.

When will the YouTube video be uploaded to explain  the rules... Half way thru the explanation of prop bets I realized I have no clue how this works and felt really stupid 

[BIG STU]

Question so when I voted it recorded what I voted right?

[GHGFORE]

Yes.  You can see what others voted too if you click on the results. (which is the vote total at the end of each line)

 

[tommc23]

I'm pretty sure I will win nothing lol

[triniexr]

I've never seen this format of contest, pretty cool.

[Peejer]

I'm pulling for Phil, but just don't think he'll be competitive now that Tiger's found his swing again...

 

[GC70]

This is great! Can’t wait to get home so I can place my bets.

So you have the same luck as I do I take it?  lol.

[TinkerGolfMan]

Thanks! Can't wait to watch! 

[yungkory]

Picked the GOAT for everything except the first hole, we all know how Tiger loves to start off like trash 

That headcover is mine!

[Nunfa0]

Thanks for the contest guys, had to go for lefty to win...

[GolfSpy_BNG]

This is pretty cool contest.  Almost enough to make me pay the $19.99 to watch the match but my Hawks will be playing for the Heroes Trophy against Nebraska and that my friends is the whole reason I took Friday off!  Go Tiger and Go Hawks!

[Har in the Hat]

awesome STUDque. thanks so much for this

[808nation]

Intriguing betting format Studque and great match for sure, can't wait to see how it all plays out.

[PAgolfer2017]

Ha that was fun. Sorta like throwing darts at a board but we'll see how my picks went haha.

[pineneedlespro]

Time will tell, could be interesting as to how close this match will end.

[Berg Ryman]

So Stud, quick question here on some of the prop bets for later holes. In the case of impossible bets (say they don't get to 17 or 18), is it going to be a push, or will everyone who voted on them lose?

[perseveringgolfer]

So they have a $200k side bet between them that Phil birdies the first hole!

It's certainly an interesting match but with no spectators and $20 to view (not in UK either) it's not getting me excited. I'll look forward to a highlights show afterwards, hopefully.

[HighFade]

Thanks guys!  I was going to watch anyways, but now I have a little skin in the game.  I might have to print out my answers so I can track my progress...

[GC70]

This is going to be FUN!

[Har in the Hat]

awesome STUDque. thanks so much for this

 

[Har in the Hat]

I can't believe 61 people think that Phil will win?????
