which companies payout most for each-way golf bets when player ties?

[BBDH]

Can anyone help?
Last weekend I placed two each way golf bets for the same amount on the same player
- one with Hills at 175/1 (paying 10 places)
- one with SkyBet at 250/1 (paying 6 places)

The player finished joint 5th.

However, the SkyBet return was LESS than the Hills return. I assume this is to do with how they calculate returns when there players are tied.

Does anyone know which companies use Hills' more profitable calculation system, and which use SkyBet's calculation system? Or at least what I should look for in the Ts&Cs to find out? Thanks!

Yes — you’re correct, the difference comes from how each bookmaker calculates each-way payouts when players are tied. Hills pays out based on the place terms regardless of ties, while SkyBet often applies a “dead‑heat” rule, reducing each-way returns proportionally when ties occur. To find which method a bookmaker uses, check the “Each Way Terms” or “Dead‑Heat Rules” section in their T&Cs. Look for wording about dead‑heat adjustments or ties. Bookmakers like Bet365 and Paddy Power generally pay like Hills, while others follow dead‑heat rules like SkyBet.
