Ladbrokes need no introduction and their golf betting product is comprehensive. Hundreds of tournaments every year, thousands of markets to bet on, value In-Play betting and regular extended each-way places at all 2019 Major Championships. Ladbrokes offer golf punters a unique opportunity as their ‘Price Boosts’ allow you to maximise player odds to the fullest. This price boost, in tandem with Ladbrokes in the main offering 5 places each-way at full 1/4 odds the place on both European Tour and PGA Tour events, often means that Ladbrokes are the very best bookmaker when it comes to maximising player odds.
A large number of Golf Betting System readers use Ladbrokes as part of their bookmaker portfolio – here’s what some of them had to say in our Ladbrokes golf betting review with a specific slant on their golf betting odds, promotions and overall offering.
“There are constantly new firms popping up, but with a big name like Ladbrokes you get a feeling of reliability and security. Their first shows on golf prices can often be good if you get in early enough. It’s no secret I like a free bet competition, and Ladbrokes have regular features on Facebook and Twitter, such as the Tuesday Tenner contest. All in all, slick, professional, and easy to use. ” Reviewed by KB. Rating: 4/5
“I use Ladbrokes regularly for my golf betting. I’ve always valued better odds over additional each-way places and Ladbrokes are good when it comes to getting the best price on my selections. Because they only go 5 places each-way they have to be very competitive on the odds they are offering and their odds boost allows me to add better odds to my players.” Reviewed by KM. Rating: 5/5
“I only use Ladbrokes when they are top price on a selection that I want to back but, on the whole, I wouldn’t keep rushing back to their website – I don’t find it so user friendly which puts me off a little. They price up most events so have plenty of choice but for me they aren’t top of my list of bookmakers I use.” Reviewed by TB. Rating: 2/5
“The Good: They offer competitive odds and variety of markets on the main tours like all the bookmakers. They price up the markets quick enough in the week. They also settle bets quickly. The Could do better: Their promotions and extra place specials are much inferior to some bookmakers. They also only offer limited markets on some of the lesser tours. Their mobile app could do with improving, there are too many levels to it in my opinion which becomes time consuming, especially if you want to place bets on multiple markets. The Bad: No complaints so far. ” Reviewed by PW. Rating: 4/5
“I normally check to see who they are prepared to take on most weeks, but I would say the compiler these days takes less chances and with a smaller margin in the punters’ favour than ever. I will also say that while the majority of the gambling industry’s websites are remarkably robust and much better than even five or six years ago, whenever the betting world is in meltdown, i.e. when a really big horse racing or football event is capturing the public’s imagination, Ladbrokes site is still prone to vulnerabilities. It might not offer a full service, whether that is from placing a bet, making a deposit or simply checking your account, but again there are bookies offering better golf odds whose sites are not prone to big freezes. On the whole – and without wishing to get too Craig Revel Horwood about them – I really would not give Labrokes even a four out of 10. Should be and must be capable of doing a lot better.” Reviewed by AG. Rating: 2/5

Ladbrokes Golf Betting Coverage
Ladbrokes offer comprehensive coverage of golf from around the world. The main European Tour markets are always up on a Monday morning and the PGA Tour markets are always amongst the first to be established on a Monday afternoon. That allows value hunters to get the very best prices – but you need to be quick. And naturally you can use Ladbrokes Odds Boosts to enhance your prices further. This is now a unique feature for those who want to maximise golf betting odds, so well worth bearing that in mind.
Ladbrokes offer comprehensive cover of the second-tier professional Tours across the globe with weekly markets (where applicable) established across the Asian, OneAsia, Australasia, Japan Golf, Korean, South American and Sunshine Tours. In the United States the LPGA, Champions Tour and web.com Tour events are covered in detail.
Early establishment of markets means that punters can often grab competitive prices on popular players. Another thing that Ladbrokes are synonymous with at the bigger tournaments are Bismarck bets. This is where the odds compiler at Ladbrokes takes a view to oppose a big name player or players and will go market leading price wise both pre-event and In-Play. Naturally this offers huge value if you want to back said player(s), but beware as Ladbrokes may know something from a Tour source highlighting why players may not perform. Again combining this with a Ladbrokes Odds Boost, is a regular tactic amongst golf punters, who then know they have maximised the value on their selections.
When it comes to extended each-way place terms, Ladbrokes have made a decision to offer 5 places each-way at the standard 1/4 odds on all full-field PGA Tour and European Tour tournaments. But as of 2019 that strategy changed for the Major Championships. Instead Ladbrokes offered 7 places each-way at 1/5 odds across The Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open and the Open Championship. Combining this with a Ladbrokes Odds Boost was a great balance between best price and a couple of additional each-way spots over and above industry standard.
Typical Markets include Outright Betting, Top 5, Top 10, Top 20, 1st Round Leader, 2/3 Balls, Match Betting, Tournament Group Betting, Top American/European/Asian/Australasian/Rest of the World and Dual Forecast.
Ladbrokes also offer #GetAPrice Specials – recent examples are available below:
Any Australian or English Player to win the tournament – 14/5
Branden Grace, Cameron Champ, Rickie Fowler and Jason Day to finish in Top 20 (incl ties) – 25/1
Tiger Woods to win & either McIlroy – Top 5 or Rose – Top 10 (incl ties) – 25/1
Ladbrokes Maximum Golf Payout
£500,000 across any golf bet made with Ladbrokes.
Ladbrokes In-Play Golf Betting
In-play is available on PGA Tour and European Tour events. Traditionally you can bet on the Outright Market during each round and Ladbrokes offer a valuable upside. Where the majority of other bookmakers switch straight to 4 places each-way (1/4 odds), Ladbrokes tend to offer 5 places each-way for the first couple of hours of action in full-field events. That alone makes having a sportsbook account with them more than worthwhile for golf enthusiasts.
Ladbrokes Golf Betting Odds
As you’d expect, we keep as close as we can to player odds here at Golf Betting System. The key to using Ladbrokes is at the Major Championships. As already mentioned, watch out for Bismarck prices at the Major Championships and Ladbrokes every Major Wednesday morning tend to go market-leading prices on a number of top players. And with Ladbrokes now a firm 7 places each-way at 1/5 odds bookmaker at the Majors, their whole golf betting proposition is based around giving strong odds, which naturally customers can choose to boost. It’s often therefore more than possible to grab industry-best price, with 7 places each-way at 1/5 odds and the option to price boost. Early birds always receive a play with Ladbrokes when it comes to their very early Monday prices which can often be market leading within the very first hour or so of market establishment. So if you want the best odds on a player, rather than the biggest volume of each-way places, Ladbrokes are a 100% must-have account.
Ladbrokes Extended Each-Way Places
If you’re a regular golf punter or a relative newbie to the sport, our 2019 each-way place research covering Major Championship, European Tour and PGA Tour strokeplay tournaments is well worth a read here.
Ladbrokes until 2019 had stuck pretty-much rigidly to 5 places each-way at 1/4 odds, but we’ve seen a significant shift of late. 7 places each-way at 1/5 odds was deployed across all 2019 Major Championships – that’s a considerable shift for the Rayners Lane-based bookmaker. But across the WGCs, PGA Tour and European Tour, they consistently offer 5 places each-way at 1/4 odds. However as we talk in detail above, this play is to effectively fund the stronger odds and Odds Boost facility, which make then a go-to online bookmaker for the very best player odds.
Below you’ll find detailed Ladbrokes Major Championship each-way terms offered since 2012:
Ladbrokes have undoubtedly upped their game when it comes to giving their customers ongoing and consistent value through some excellent promotions. Their Odds Boost promotion has revolutionised their business and driven masses of new customers to sign-up with them. The Odds Boost button sits within the bet slip, giving you the facility to use daily boosts on the bets you want to increase the odds on. Their Best Football ACCA shout is also a superb package. Boost your ACCA, track your ACCA, edit your ACCA and cash out your ACCA. There is also ACCA Insurance up to £10 or €10 if one team lets you down on 5+ folds.
Here are a few of the margin adding promotions that Ladbrokes offers – you’ll find the most popular detailed below:
Best ACCA Around
Ladbrokes now offer 6 good reasons to place your ACCAs with them, giving you the best deal around. You certainly cannot get all of their six features with any other bookmaker. These include the Odds Boost, within your bet slip. Choose to boost your ACCA and watch the odds wheel turn in your favour. You can also take full control of your ACCA on Ladbrokes Mobile. Track it, cash out and edit your acca to remove losing legs, pre-match and in-play. To top it off, they also offer ACCA Insurance. If one team lets you down in your 5+ team ACCA you will get your stake back as a Free Bet up to €/£10.
Odds Boost
With Ladbrokes Odds Boost, you get the chance to instantly boost your odds on any pre-event sports bet – every day. Simply login to your account from 1000 onwards and your Odds Boost token will appear under your ‘My Account’ section and on your bet slip where applicable which you can use to instantly boost your odds. Odds Boost is open to all customers. Odds Boost is unique in the market now, in the way, that you make the decision what bet you want to boost.
Extra Places Races
Ladbrokes are on a daily basis giving away additional each-way places on 3 horse races. In big handicaps this often means 5 places each-way, with all additional places paid out at 1/5 odds.
Horse Racing Best Odds Guaranteed
If you take a price with Ladbrokes and the starting price is higher then they pay you out at the higher odds. There are some exclusions such as ante-post and In-Play bets amongst others but this is a great offer as horse racing odds can shorten or lengthen very quickly, especially at the big meetings like the Cheltenham Festival.
