About Golf Game Bet Calculator

Most golf side games are settled from memory in the car park, which is why so many of them end in a disagreement. This app exists to replace that: everyone in the group sees the same live scorecard, the games run automatically off the scores as they are entered, and the settlement is visible hole by hole rather than reconstructed at the end.

How it works

• One player creates a room and gets two six-digit codes. The player code gives full access — entering scores, changing game settings. The gallery code is view-and-bet only, so spectators can follow along without being able to touch the card.
• Pick your course and the par, stroke index and yardage for each hole load automatically. You can edit any of it if the card at your club differs.
• Add up to eight players with their handicaps, choose which games to run, and start entering scores. Everything syncs live to everyone in the room.
• For larger events, a tournament groups many foursomes into one combined net leaderboard while each group scores independently in its own room.

Games it settles

Gross and net stroke play, Skins with carry-overs, Hussein (the bomb hole game), Ding-Dong-Daeng, Gangster, and team match play including Las Vegas re-pairing. Each is explained in full in the guides, including the exact settlement rules the app applies, so nothing about the payout should be a surprise.

Gallery betting

Spectators can back players from a shared pool, with odds derived from the pool itself rather than set by anyone. Betting closes partway through the round so every bet is placed while the result is genuinely uncertain. The parimutuel guide explains the math.

What it is not

Golf Game Bet Calculator is a calculator and record-keeper. It does not accept, hold, transfer or pay out money, it is not a gambling operator, and no real funds pass through it at any point. Any settlement between players happens directly between those players, offline, exactly as it would if you had written the numbers on the back of the card. See the terms for the full position.

Accounts

Creating an account is optional. Rooms work without one. Signing in lets you keep a handicap, a history of rounds you have played, and a record of bets you have placed, which is mainly useful for regular groups who want their informal handicaps to settle on fair numbers over time. What we store and why is set out in the privacy policy.
