Is there a different price for these guys if they win vs. if they place t10? My understanding is that it's 1/5 odds, so if someone was 50-1 to win, he pays 50-5 to t10, right? But it pays somewhere in between to win? Or is it still 50-1 to win with an added hedge of t10?

Half the stake goes on them to win and the other half goes on top 10 at 1/5 odds.

Gotcha. was trying to do math and figure that out. This has to be the right way to bet on golf.

Yea I'm a bit confused on that as well. Is 1/5 odds of their price to win?
So if a golfer is 50/1 and we bet $100 then $50 is on them to win at 50/1 and $50 is on them to top 10 at 10/1? That really is a great way to bet on golf. I don't think ****ty Yank books have that option.

$100 e/w would mean $100 would be on them to win at 50/1 and $100 on them top 10 at 10/1 so $200 total
Do you Americans not have e/w bets for horse racing? Same thing really, back a horse £10 e/w (1/5) at 10/1, £10 goes towards the 10/1 win and £10 goes towards the e/w part at 2/1 so if the horse wins you'll get £120 profit, if it comes in e/w places you'll get £10 profit

I don't really bet horse racing so idk.
I'm familiar with Asian lines like Chelsea -0.75 v. Kazakh FC which is half your stake on Chelsea to win and half your stake on Chelsea -1. You wager the amount and the amount you wager is split in half not doubled so idk really

Take the 13/8 if you can't shift it yourself, VC cba to sent a password reset email and getting on anywhere with appreciably better odds hasn't been worth the hassle
Or, as PC94 suggests, wait, it's not going to get worse
