Betting pools are available in most sports, including golf. They are often a casual way for friends to bet with one another, since they are usually for low amounts and are generally handled outside of a sportsbook or casino. The most common type of golf betting pool is, more or less, fantasy golf. All participants take turns selecting golfers for their rosters and are rewarded or penalized based upon their picks’ results. You can run a pool with just a select group of golfers or the whole field. It is also possible to create golf betting pools around various prop bets, such as estimating the total number of birdies or bogeys that the pros will incur in a round (or tournament).
