    In a "dead heat", two or more competitors are joint winners in a race or contest. For wagering purposes, the wagered amount on a selection is divided by the number of competitors involved in the dead heat (divided stake) and multiplied by the number of paying positions in question. The divided stake gets paid the full odds of the original selection. The remainder of the stake is a loser.

    Dead Heat Example:
    Straight Bet selected on Ogivly TOP 10 +350, for $100.
    Scenario #1: Two golfers – including Ogivly – tie for 10th place.
    The risk amount ($100) is divided by 2 as there are only 2 golfers sharing one same paying position (10th place). In this case, half of the stake ($50) gets paid full odds, and the other half ($50 as well) is lost. $50 on Ogivly +350 wins $175, for a total credit of $225.
    A bet on any other golfer for TOP 10 that is not tied in 10th place, but yet a winner, will pay full odds for the whole amount wagered.
    Scenario #2: Five golfers – including Ogivly – tie for 10th place.
    The risk amount ($100) is divided by the number of competitors involved in the "dead heat" (5 golfers) = $20 (divided stake) and multiplied by the number of paying positions (there is only one paying position as it is the last place in which 5 golfers are tied). The remainder $80 of the risk amount are lost.
    The divided stake gets paid full odds of the wager as if originally the bet was only for $20. $20 on Ogivly +350 pays $70 to win, for a total credit of $90.
    A bet on any other golfer for TOP 10 that is not tied in 10th place, but yet a winner, will pay full odds for the whole amount wagered.
    Scenario #3: Five golfers – including Ogivly – tie for 8th place.
    The risk amount ($100) is divided by the number of competitors involved in the "dead heat" (5 golfers) = $20 (divided stake) and multiplied by the number of paying positions (3: 8th, 9th & 10th) = $60. The wager amount to be paid at full odds is $60. The remainder $40 of the risk amount are lost.
    $60 on Ogivly + 350 pays $210 to win, for a total credit of $270.
    A bet on any other golfer for TOP 10 that is not tied in 8th place, but yet a winner, will pay full odds for the whole amount wagered.

    Ya I know but it pretty much guarantees the action feeling all the way through the last hole so win or lose I'll be zoned in and be able to forget about things for the rest of the day. That's why we gamble to forget about things. Ain't that right JJ?

    otters got his bet refunded which is good dead heat rule only applied if 5 or more guys were tied it's not the same dead heat rule as if you play top 5 or top 10 before the tournament starts
