Golf : British Open Extra Places Offers

Tony – I had the same, went onto LC last night and they manually added the £10 FB after checking with their ‘Marketing Team’…

I had a 5th place in the end why oh why could he not have been 6th lol

Smarkets not paid out on place market yet. Wonder why the delay.

I think this is correct in my thinking correct me if I am wrong because of the caculations on te tied market drivi ng me around the bend I have taken the overall figure settled on the ew market on Smarkets as my winnings in Smarkets (as it was in green) and that would be after commission which was £109

So Smarkets £109 winnings, Betfair £65.75, William Hill £55

So overall my winnings were £208.03 less the bets that lost i.e. stake not returned £100
therefore my profit from the golf I have calculated as £108.03 i.e. 4 losing bets @ £25 I have not taken Qual loss from this or liability as the Smarkets figure is an overall one i.e after liability has been calc etc

Just need to know I am right?? If so somehow by a miracle I made £108.03 for coming tied in 5th and no idea how I was also tied outside the places with Dustin Johnson x 3, Jason Day x 8 & Jordon Speith x 6

Can anyone confirm my thinking is correct.

Who did you have placed and what odds?

Just looked at it all again add £25 loss to above as i missed a bet out but still I reckon I made £83.03
I did look at the odds for who I backed but gave up after my eyes started to blur I am just basing my figures as follows

WInnings in SMarkets after liabilities which is uaully the case £109 plus my winning bets (not including stake returned) less my losing bet stakes which is £125

So basicaly I had a return of £208.03 less £125 = £83.08 I think this is the quickest way to calc as you don’t need to break every bet down just the overall figure.

@matchedem I have not got the bet lumped as 1 just a bit tired to go through my spreadsheet and with te tie on 4 golfers it was easier to calc my profit as above rather than have to calc each inidividual bet as per the Dead Heat rules on Smarkets because it is not broken down for you. I am just asking for advice on whether my thinking is correct or whether I have missed something of importance is does not matter above lay/back odds in this scenrio in my opinion just the amount of returns less the outlay of the losing bets.

Can you or anyone else see if this is flawed in anyway as an overall calculation ?

@MbPunter I understand the tie on Smarkets i’m just being lazy as all my ew golfers tied some wit 8 others etc I had 4 golfers in total I am just asking can i put them all in 1 pot and calculate my overall return as I have suggested for the sake of laziness more than anything. i.e. your overall return on the EW market on SMarkets + any winnings in the bookmakers less your losing bet stakes elsewhere on the same market. Would that not give you the same return avaoiding all the calculations as per what you have posted.
