Re: What odds should I get on this prop bet? (Hole in One)
[ QUOTE ]
I don't have an official handicap, but my yahoo handicap is an 8. I usually shoot in the low 80's with some better rounds that bring it down. [/ QUOTE ] Yahoo uses the same exact formula as the USGA, so it would be the same as an official hndcp.

[/ QUOTE ] yeah i apologize - i didn't read the original post very well i was a 10 handicap golfer for 5 years, and had one ace - and probably played 1000 rounds in those 5 years i couldn't fathom 1/5001 being spectacular odds for me to hit any given ace what is the actual hole like? tough?

Re: What odds should I get on this prop bet? (Hole in One)
I think the fact that he will not be taking 20000 attempts should some how be factored in if it's a bet with a buddy.
You can't spend 5 bucks, drop one in and expect 20K... Tell him you'll take 15000 to 1 [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I dunno, it depends on how deep the pockets are involved. Is it going to be a running bet, or just go out one day and try?

[ QUOTE ] Acing a designated hole in a single round: 20,000 to 1 [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] This was for all players. After thinking about hitting 10,000 shots at a single hole I think about 20 would go in. Of course that is assuming I hit multiple shots at the same hole. So, for a new hole each time maybe 1000-1 is close.

1000-1? i know it's only 140 and stuff, but 1000-1 is really low
i *might* give you 3000-1, but that's borderline +EV at best 1000-1 almost certainly is -EV
