1. Top 5 Example
This event had four players tied for third. They occupied positions 3-6 on the leaderboard. Therefore, if you bet any of them to finish Top 5 at a book that applies dead heat rules (which is pretty much all of them in the United States), your stake was cut by 25%, so you'd win 75% of your original bet. That's because there were only three spots for four tied players in the Top 5. It was essentially one extra player occupying the position you needed to cash your bet. That means a $40 bet on Ju...
2. Top 10 Example
Tenth-place at the Charles Schwab also had dead-heat rules apply, but because there was only one spot available for four tied players, your stake would take an even bigger hit than in the Top 5 example. Justin Thomas to finish Top 10 before the tournament was around +200. Your stake would be cut by to 75% because there was only one spot for four guys, so you'd win 25% of your original bet. So a $100 bet on Thomas becomes a $25 bet, with the other $75 a loser. Here's what you expected before t...

Dylan Frittelli (150-1) In each case, your bet will be cut by 2/3 because three players occupy that one spot — Dustin Johnson essentially pays out 10-1, Casey 20-1, and Frit...
At most sportsbooks, your stakewill be cut by the number of tied golfers relative to the spots available. Some others will cut the odds. And there could be a big difference in money depending on the bet. MGM doesn't have dead-heat rules at all for bets like Top 20s, and will pay ties in full. PointsBetcuts the odds. Most others cut the stake. You w...
No dead heat is a tremendous advantage for bettors, assuming the prices are comparable to other books. (It's really difficult to put exact math on it, but if the prices are far worse at a non-dead heat book, it's not worth the hopes of getting paid in full). MGM's prices are usually pretty comparable to the other books. Legal U.S. books with no dea...
