Why WolfPack Bets?

To be honest, I don't know if you need WolfPack Bets or not. I don't really understand you. I do know as an avid golfer, that you guys are going to do your betting, one way or another. Good luck.

You're a nerd and you like golf. Of course you will get invited into betting games on the course. At the end of the round, someone says you owe this guy $40 and you don't know exactly why. You played well, but I guess, not good enough. Feels scammy.

You aren't going to be satisfied until you see the numbers and check how the math adds up.

Use WPB to capture the rules of the betting game, keep score, and validate the payouts.

Next time you know — make sure you are getting your full handicap applied for net scoring. Don't agree to pressed bets. Take the carry off the round to lower stakes and accommodate newbie players. Use team builder to setup more balanced playing partners. Play Train for more of a relaxed, golf improvement round, instead of the ruthless churn of a skins game.

Take back some control of these crazy games. No more getting scammed.

The world is going digital. You know that the days of hand-writing scores and arguing who did what and who pays who are coming to an end. App scorekeeping for your pack is here. You need to keep the pack happy and interested in coming back for that next round.

Use WPB to manage your rounds, scorekeeping, game rules, and settlements. Broadcast the round live so all of your playing partners can see the score, the bets and player stats as the round progresses. Setup competitions that might last a few days (that golf vacation in Tucson), or season long competitions that lead up to Fed Ex Cup style playoffs.

However you do it, you want an app that makes scorekeeping fast and efficient, with or without internet connection. You want rounds and leaderboards that can be shared with your pack with a simple click.

There's a lot of apps out there that cater to you, the lone wolf, working on the golf game, one shot at a time. You may have found the one you like and it keeps all of your scores nice and tidy. Great!

But sometimes, all of those extra features are a distraction.

Use WPB when you want something simple — Start Round, Select Course, Add Players (or not), and Tee off. Simple score entry. Play the train game — it runs in the background but at the end of the round, see how consistent you were — how many strings of pars and birdies you racked up along the way. How many setbacks occurred that tossed you from the train.

When you are inevitably pulled into the betting game of the day, keep track of the scores so you can see how you are doing and how to change strategy to maximize your take on the pot. You are the lone wolf, the wild card, the player that shows up in surprise attacks. Embrace your inner wolf and when the time comes, make the pack give you the respect you are due.

You love golf, you enjoy hanging out with your buddies, but you can't stand the betting shenanigans. You don't understand why you can't just go out and have fun playing golf without adding expense and pressure to what already is a difficult game to play well. You can say no to the bets, but then maybe you won't get invited back for that next round.

Use WPB to eliminate the tension. Setup the game. Make sure you are getting your full handicap applied. Look at the Individual Limits in the round setup. The limit is $18. Fine. Take a $20 out of your pocket, look at it, and assume that is your donation to the group after the round.

If you get some back, or even all and more, fantastic. But once you have the bet covered and paid for, let all of that tension and pressure melt away. Go out, have fun with your friends, enjoy that nice sunny afternoon on the course.
