  There is a well used term for this sort of thing that I think applies perfectly to this.........and that is this is A SUCKER BET.............if you are foolish enough to risk your credits on this .......then don't go blaming WGT for your losses.  Nobody put a gun to your head and forced you to get in on their version of the SUCKER BET.

  hi

  the big payout is for hole in one. when you get inside the circles, you will get part of the original bet back.

  -wgticon

  Icon if it were set up so that if you got within 5 feet you got both the credits you won and your stake back I feel there would be many more people willing to try it. As it is now unless you actually get the hole in one you lose credits and that makes many people unwilling to try it. Just something to think about.

  Agree 1000%

  I had heard that the odds had improved and decided to check the box so that the challenges would appear, I landed within 5 feet and get "Congratulations, you have earned 35 credits", Erm, NO, I bet 100c so I in fact LOST 65c.

  I have "unchecked" the box again, absolutely no benefit to being within 5 feet, we should at least get the 35c "profit" and our stake back, surely that is how a bet works?

  Ah well, lesson learnt.

  Only the truly retarded person would take this bet, I have absolutely no confidence in any club in my bag will fly anywhere near the intended distance or direction. I would not take the bet for a 10 foot putt.

  If and when they stop manipulating my shots in ready goes and I re-gain my confidence that a dinged shot will fly a reasonably consistent distance and direction I might consider it, but until then, I'll leave this to suckers and retarded people.
