The data in the above table is as follows:

The Top3 Plays table highlights the three advised plays for each round.

Unlike the TT Win Probabilities where the advised plays are at stakes based on the Kelly criterion, advised stakes for 18-hole plays are Half Kelly stakes. As only one player can win a tournament, bets on differnt players in an outright market are not independent of each other. However, bets on different players to win different 18-hole matches are independent of each other and so are more volatile as a whole. As a result, Half Kelly stakes are provided in the table above, whereas (Full) Kelly stakes are provided in the table for outright markets. The TT 18-Hole Match Probabilities displayed above are the result of a Monte Carlo simulation of each round of a tournament, using individual player inputs and a probability distribution. This method is particularly useful in golf given the number of players in a tournament and the complex process within modelling player scores.

This table will be populated in the morning before the start of each round.

TT 18-Match Probabilities (including results) are available for all past events via the 'Archives' here.

* The Kelly criterion is given by:

K = (b * p) - q b
Where:
K = Kelly stake (optimal % of bankroll)
b = (Best Odds - 1)
p = probability of winning (Win%)
q = probability of losing (1 - Win%)

The Half Kelly stake is simply half the values of the above equation. Using the odds that are available to you, calculate your 'Half Kelly stake' using the calculator below. Once you have selected the player, the win odds will be auto-populated from the table above.

The Kelly criterion determines the optimal stake size to maximize long-term growth of your bankroll.
