Every golf bettor knows the buzz of landing a big each-way winner. But what if you could combine two tournaments each week to double your chances — and still get your bets on either online or in shops, even if your accounts are restricted?
That’s exactly what our latest Smart Betting Club member article explores.
The “Facespitter” Idea – A Classic with Lasting Power
Each-way doubles on golf have been around for years. Racing Post tipster Steve Palmer famously called them “facespitters” – those rare, explosive wins when both golfers land in the same week.
But this strategy isn’t just about chasing the dream of a double win. When applied correctly, it offers a consistent, data-driven path to profit that works whether you’re betting with a full online setup or walking into your local shop.
The Smart Angle Behind the Strategy
Using real Weekly Golf Value selections, SBC’s Rowan has been putting this strategy into practice in betting shops, demonstrating how it can deliver steady, long-term returns.
For those still betting online, it’s equally practical. Most bookmakers offering standard golf each-way terms allow doubles, and because these bets don’t typically scream “sharp” – they can also help with account preservation. It’s a smart, sustainable way to bet without triggering limits or restrictions. Until that is a really big ‘Facespitter’ bet lands!

Why This Strategy Still Works in 2025
Unlike many betting angles that have been squeezed out by sharp lines and automation, each-way doubles remain a bookmaker-friendly format that still holds genuine value.
It’s a structure that can produce both explosive upside and steady long-term gains, making it one of the most versatile golf betting strategies available today.
