How It Works

The Saturday Game

Every round is a parimutuel betting pool — think horse racing, not Vegas. All bets go into a shared pool per market. If your pick wins, you split the entire pool proportionally with other backers of the winner(s). No house edge, no bookmaker — just you vs. the boys.

Stakes: Each bet must be between the round's min ($5 default) and max ($200 default). You can place multiple bets on different picks within the same market.

🏇 Win / Place / Show

Three separate pools based on net score (gross minus handicap):

🥇 Win

Pays if your player finishes 1st in net score. Entire pool split among backers of the winner.

🥈 Place

Pays if your player finishes 1st or 2nd. Pool split among backers of the top 2 finishers.

🥉 Show

Pays if your player finishes top 3. Pool split among backers of the top 3 finishers.

Each pool is independent — you can bet on one, two, or all three. Ties share the position.

⛳ Low Gross

Pick the player who shoots the lowest gross score (no handicap applied). The raw ball-striker's bet — handicap doesn't help here. Whole pool goes to backers of the low gross winner.

🤝 Team Match Play

Players are split into teams before the round. Pick which team you think wins. The winning team is determined by the admin after the round (usually based on combined net score or match play format). Pool split among backers of the winning team.

🏆 Net Skins

Pick any player you think will win at least one validated net skin during the round.

How it works

A "skin" is won when a player has the lowest net score on a hole outright (no ties). If two or more players tie for the low net on a hole, the skin carries over to the next hole.

Payouts

After the round, any player who won 1 or more skins is a winner. The entire pool is split proportionally among the backers of all winning players. It doesn't matter how many skins your player won — just that they got at least one.

Example

Pool = $500. Mike bets $50 on Player A, Joe bets $100 on Player A, Dave bets $50 on Player B. Players A and B both win skins. Total bet on winners = $200. Mike gets ($50/$200) × $500 = $125. Joe gets ($100/$200) × $500 = $250. Dave gets ($50/$200) × $500 = $125.

💰 Payout Formula

          Your Payout = (Your Bet ÷ Total Bet on Winners) × Pool
        

If nobody bet on the winning pick, all bets in that market are refunded. The "implied odds" shown next to each pick update in real time as bets come in — a pick with fewer backers pays more if it wins.

✈️ Flights (Tournament Mode)

For bigger groups, the admin can split players into flights. Each flight gets its own Win/Place/Show pools. Skins and Team Match are always overall (not per-flight). The admin can also add overall markets in addition to flight markets.
