Bet Overview
We will simply predict how well every player will perform in the tournament.
The difference between this and the main Tournament Index is that every player in the competition counts. The players within the Leaderboard Index correspond with those leading the tournament, so other players may be quoted as the tournament progresses.
For a typical Leaderboard Index, points are awarded as follows:
1st = 60 points, 2nd = 40 points, 3rd = 30 points 4th = 25 points, 5th = 20 points, 6th = 15 points, 7th = 10 points, 8th = 5 points
Example
Before the start of a tournament we might include 24 players on the Leaderboard at the start of the Championship.
Amongst these 24 we might quote Ernie Els at 10 - 13 on the basis of the following scoring system:
1st = 60 points, 2nd = 40 points, 3rd = 30 points 4th = 25 points, 5th = 20 points, 6th = 15 points, 7th = 10 points, 8th = 5 points.
If you fancied Els to do better than 6th (15pts) you would
Go high (buy) at 13 for the stake of your choice, in this case, £5.
Had he ended up finishing 4th (25pts), you would have made 12 times your stake.
(25 - 13) x Your Stake = 12 x 5 = £60
However, if he had struggled with his game and eventually missed the cut, he would have received 0pts on the Leadership Index. As a result you would have lost 13 times your stake.
(13 - 0) x your stake = 20 x £5 = -£65
