RMU  (H2H ROUND MATCHUP)

18-hole round-by-round matchups…markets usually set the night the prior, and while weekly activity may vary, Friday and Saturday historically present the strongest volume of opportunities. 

R3B (ROUND 3-BALLS)

18-hole group matchups…made up the smallest sample in our 2025 portfolio – Success against a single opponent is hard to achieve, but opportunities do arise and lines are widely offered, albeit with increased hold.

TMU (H2H TOURNEY MATCHUP)

72-hole tournament matchups…markets typically begin forming on Monday of tournament week and mature by Tuesday night. These opportunities allow our team to execute targeted plays that set us apart from sportsbooks and other betting groups. 

RDS (ROUND SCORE PROP)

18-hole player score props (Over/Under)…recommendations and insights may appear via email or as official plays on this channel, depending on availability. The 2025 data showed ROI exceeding 20% on this option, marked by on-site analysis from the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit. Round props are commonly offered at FanDuel, DraftKings, Caesars/William Hill, and occasionally at Circa.

CUT (MAKE/MISS CUT)

Player to make or miss the weekend (Yes/No)…widely available, but important to shop around – Get comfortable staking either side when advantageous. 

POS (POSITIONALS)

Player to finish a given tournament within a specific placement range…this approach increases hit rate when matchup options don’t align and reduces volatility – The primary focus is on top 10 and top 20 markets, with select books such as DraftKings and BetRivers often offering top 30 and top 40 options. Most, if not all positional plays will be paid including ties, eliminating exposure to dead heat penalties – When dead-heat rules apply, we’ll clearly note whether the adjusted price remains playable at the time of release. Books that commonly pay ties include Circa, Westgate, DraftKings, FanDuel, and Bet365. 

TRG (TOP REGION/GROUP)

Targeted bets on players to finish first within a derivative category…top nationality, debutant, former champion, or similar. These markets reward leading a defined group rather than winning the tournament outright. A recent example is Phil Mickelson at Augusta, where he performed well as the ‘Top Senior.’

WS (WINNING SCORE PROP)

72-hole winning score prop (Over/Under)…our most profitable angle in 2025, even with scarce market availability- Offered at FanDuel, DraftKings, and often first released locally by Jeff Sherman at Westgate. 

RDL (ROUND LEADER)

Round leader bets…applied to players poised for a strong start, leveraging form or favorable conditions, without implying much confidence in a full-tournament investment.

WIN (TOURNAMENT WINNER)

Outright winner bets…typically sized to win 6-15 units, depending on price and overall portfolio exposure. 2025 featured four outright winners, showcased by Sepp Straka’s 80-1 longshot win at the American Express (+14u), a play we identified after logging 90+ holes of observation the week prior at the Sony Open. 

UNIT SCALE FRAMEWORK

Our three-level unit scale is built around opportunity quality and confidence – “Units” function as standard exposure – the risk amount on plus-money investments and the amount to-win on vigged positions. This framework is highly recommended and can be adaptable to any bankroll.

0.5u – Selective exposure; reserved for 18-hole round bets and shorter samples, where the edge is real but not as fully developed as higher-unit plays. 

1u – Core plays with conviction – Standard, high-value plays that represent the bulk of the action applied to H2H tournament matchups, positionals, and key props. 

2u – Targeted for elite, high-conviction bets; May come infrequently, but when player or market news arises, such as the Taylor Moore news in Napa or large mispricings like Europe to win the Ryder Cup, we act decisively.
