Under Par Golf Tips is a new to market golf betting tipster service that is being offered through the Betting Gods stable of tipsters. Selections come courtesy of tipster, Ben.
Introduction to Under Par Golf Tips
Golf is something that bores me immensely. Betting on golf though… that is something that is interesting to me. This is of course quite at odds, which begs the question of why the difference in opinion? Well, the short answer to this is quite a simple one. The profit potential. There is a hell of a lot of money that can be made through golf betting. Of course, I’m never going to get interested enough to actually learn about golf. So, I always have half an eye out for a decent golf tipster service.
That brings me to Under Par Golf Tips. I can’t really mince my words here. This is a very impressive looking tipster service with decent looking longer term profits on display. Betting Gods’ own proofing shows that Ben isn’t just capable of turning a profit, but can do so consistently. On top of that, the service is well manged (as you’d expect. It is also something that in many respects is easy to follow along. A definitely perk if you aren’t into the sport. So, you might be thinking. This is a winner, right?

Well, not entirely. You see, whilst the overall performance for Under Par Golf Tips is very solid, it isn’t without fault. The fact is that this is something that I think has a degree of “high risk, high reward”. Something that I know will immediately put people off. And when you put all of that into its proper context, I can definitely see why. When Ben gets it wrong, it can be quite expensive. I am not sure that Betting Gods would agree with this (especially in light of the longer term results), but the numbers don’t lie. So, with all of that said, let’s get into it, and see if this is worth following or not.
What Does Under Par Golf Tips Offer?
In my experience, golf tipster services tend to be quite different beasts to most other tipster services. This is influenced by a number of things, but one of the most prominent is the fact that golf tournaments aren’t exactly a daily affair. This is ultimately very evident when you start breaking down Under Par Golf Tips.
Despite this, I will say that this is a service that is arguably one of the more “active” golf tipster services that I have ever seen. Furthermore, the proofing that Betting Gods provide shows that Ben is taking an approach that isn’t something that I typically see with golf betting. All of which makes for a very interesting little service. Of course, it begs the question, where do you start?
First things first, let’s explore how exactly this is managed. Ben will have tips available any time through the week. These are typically sent out late in the morning or early in the evening, dependent on what you are doing. As you might expect, Under Par Golf Tips also has no bet days too. But you are betting most days when a tournament is on.
Of course, all of this is impeccably managed by Betting Gods. As you’d expect from a modern tipster service, selections from Ben are issued directly via email. There is also a member’s area you can login to in order to see bets. My recommendation though is to simply take advantage of the Betting Gods app. This sends the Under Par Golf Tips directly to your phone where it is simply harder to miss them.
What you should keep in mind here though is that there really can be a lot of bets. Over the course of just a few days, 23 tips were advised through Under Par Golf Tips. This kind of volume is historically not the most common thing, but it would be remiss of me to not mention that it remains a possibility. Generally speaking though, Betting Gods say that Ben will find about 42 tips per month.
Now, I want to talk about the bets that are being placed. Another area where Under Par Golf Tips is different to most golf tipster services. Typically speaking with golf, a lot of the profit comes from big ante bets. Each way tournament winners at 500/1 can produce handsome profits simply by placing. But Ben isn’t concerned with that.
Most of Under Par Golf Tips is based on a golfer beating another. Often at really quite low odds. For some context, Betting Gods show that the average odds come in at just 3.77. Occasionally, there are some smaller accumulators that are advised on these markets which provide somewhat bigger bets, but nothing here is close to the excess that you see with some golf services.
Of course, something that is worth keeping in mind when talking about these odds is that they could be better. One thing that I really like about Betting Gods is that they proof their bets to very realistic odds. As such, a BOG bookie or using an odds comparison site could easily make Under Par Golf Tips more profitable than is reported. This is really quite important to keep in mind.
With all of that out of the way, it’s time to talk numbers. This is rather unfortunately an area where I think that Under Par Golf Tips starts to lose some of that shine. Firstly, let’s talk about the stakes that Ben recommends. They are quite high. The range is technically from a single point on a bet, all the way up to 5 points on a bet, but these extremes are outliers. The bulk of bets end up being between 2 and 4 points, which can of course add up.
Against this backdrop of quite high stakes betting, Betting Gods say that a bank of 150 point is recommended for Under Par Golf Tips. As of the time of writing, that would cover any drawdown that Ben has encountered so far. But I’ll be honest and say that it seems a little bit “squeaky bum”. Especially considering the most recent tun of results.
The thing is, in theory, that shouldn’t be a cause for concern. Since September 2021, Ben has attained a strike rate of some 41.37%. An impressive figure for Under Par Golf Tips. Unfortunately, the results have seen a quite significant turnaround in recent times, and March came in at a strike rate of just 25.8%.
How Does Under Par Golf Tips Work?
Something that really stands out as frustrating whenever I look at a service from Betting Gods is that there is very little information on how a service works. It probably won’t come as any surprise to learn that Under Par Golf Tips isn’t really any different. There is simply no explanation about how Ben is finding the bets. Oftentimes, I can make a somewhat informed guess, but given that I know little about golf, that isn’t necessarily an option here.
With that said, there are some things that I think are worth considering. First and foremost, there is the fact that Betting Gods provide incredibly comprehensive proofing for Under Par Golf Tips. This is updated every pretty much daily (when tips are advised) and it gives you a good idea of what you can expect. Whilst it isn’t a replacement for knowing what Ben is doing, it does give you a decent idea of the ebb and flow of the service. Importantly, you can get a feel if this is for you.
Like I said, I can’t really try and understand how Ben is going about finding his bets because I don’t know the sport. But I do know betting. With the focus on those lower odds, somewhat niche betting markets (especially for golf), and high stakes suggest one thing to me. Under Par Golf Tips simply appears to be based around things that are seemingly probable. This is the kind of thing that sounds like something that you’d expect from any tipster. But with golf especially, that isn’t typically the case.
The final consideration in this regard is more of a personal thing. I know that Betting Gods run a tight ship. They don’t tend to have tipsters on the book simply for the sake of it, and I expect that Ben has had at least some conversation about what Under Par Golf Tips is based around. If there wasn’t a demonstration of longer term potential, I don’t necessarily see this getting to market.
What is the Initial Investment?
There are just 2 options available if you want to sign up to The Racing Pundit. The first of these is a monthly trial which is priced at £10 (plus VAT) for your first month, after which the billing switches over to a monthly subscription for which Betting Gods are charging £27 (plus VAT).
For better value, you can sign up to The Racing Pundit on a quarterly basis. This means paying out £40 (plus VAT) for your first 3 months. Once this has passed, the price goes up to £80 (plus VAT) per quarter. With that said, at the time of writing, if you hang around on the sale page, you will be offered a bonus discount which puts the first quarter at just £30 (plus VAT).
On top of all this, Betting Gods offer a 30 day money back guarantee on The Racing Pundit. Specifically, they say that “If you’re not happy then claim a full refund of any money paid in the last 30 days”. This is a pretty generous offer and really expands on the standard 30 day money back guarantee that is offered through Clickbank.
What is the Rate of Return?
At the time of writing, Under Par Golf Tips is sitting quite pretty with a profit of 266 points. Over 8 months of betting, I think that is a very good looking result. Especially because there is always the possibility that you could take this even further by seeking out odds. But that isn’t the whole picture unfortunately.
You see, Betting Gods show that by the end of February, Ben had taken Under Par Golf Tips to a profit of 333.7 points. This means that there has been a considerable losing streak of at least a month (at the time of writing we are about a third of the way through April). This might turn around a little bit, but it is a concerning trend nonetheless.
For what it adds in terms of context, this represents an ROI of 31.97% which is pretty impressive given the recent results. It also represents bank growth of 177.35%. Again, this is a solid result for Under Par Golf Tips, even if Ben has hit a bit of a bad run.
Conclusion for Under Par Golf Tips
The struggle with something like Under Par Golf Tips is really figuring out where to put your focus. Of course, I always talk about the fact that you have to make consideration for long term results over short term. That should always be your overall goal with betting. But this is ultimately about data analysis, and sometimes it can be hard to ignore what that recent form means.
Normally, it is relatively simple to sit on one side of the fence or the other, but with Under Par Golf Tips… well, I just don’t know. It is quite apparent from the amount of time that Betting Gods have been proofing this that Ben has to have some idea of what he is doing. You don’t have the kind of run that was established in the first 6 months through guesswork. But half a betting bank lost in a few weeks is… well, it’s a lot.
The thing with Under Par Golf Tips is that because it is so different to most golf tipster services, it is really quite difficult to know what to expect. This kind of downturn is typical when you are dealing with the long shots that are typical of most golf tipsters. But Ben isn’t doing that.
And looking at the smaller odds, the only way that I can see this turning around in any timely fashion is by increasing the stakes. Unfortunately, the problems with this are self evident. At this point, I have to close the loop because this kind of circular thinking can just continue ad infinitum.
Here is the bottom line for me. I don’t think that Under Par Golf Tips is an inherently bad service. Ben has definitely had a bad run, and I wouldn’t dismiss that casually. But I really do believe that there is something here. I also like that this isn’t your typical golf betting which is reliant on big wins to balance the books. Of course, that doesn’t mean that I would recommend it either. Certainly not in the here and now.
The thing is, Under Par Golf Tips is reasonably priced. Yes, you need a big bank to get on top of the bets (20 point days are a thing), but the returns have historically been consistent enough to justify that. And let’s not ignore the icing on the cake. A return to form would make this exceptional value for money. Betting Gods and Ben are asking a really quite modest amount for this.
Honestly, and I know this is a bit of a cop out, but I would put this one on the back burner. If Ben is simply having a wobble, Under Par Golf Tips will balance itself out and you can get on board when the form is back. And if that doesn’t happen, well, you’ve not been throwing potentially £200 a day down the drain following bad advice.
