Description
Golf outright markets carry the fattest bookmaker margins in sports — a tournament field routinely “adds up” to 140% or more. PinOdds strips that margin: every surveyed bookmaker price for every player is aggregated, junk quotes are filtered, and the whole field is normalized so win probabilities total exactly 100%.
Drop the widget on any page and it renders the live probability leaderboard for the current major — The Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and The Open — updating quietly through the tournament. No bookmaker names, no betting links; a forecast, not a tout. See it live at pinodds.com.
Drop it anywhere:
- Shortcode —
[pinodds]renders the live board.[pinodds theme="light"]matches light sites;[pinodds limit="3"]shows three events. - Block — insert “PinOdds probabilities” from the editor; the settings sit in the block sidebar.
Site-wide defaults live under Settings PinOdds. The widget is responsive, ships in dark and light themes, and sizes itself to its content.
External services
This plugin embeds a widget served by skipodds.com, a SkipSeek AI service, via an iframe. The widget delivers the live probability data; without it the plugin displays nothing.
- What it is: the SkipOdds Index — de-vigged, aggregated win probabilities (skipodds.com); this plugin serves the PinOdds view of it (pinodds.com).
- What is sent: the embed iframe requests the widget from skipodds.com with your chosen sport, theme, and event count. The widget sets no cookies and runs no analytics on your visitors.
- Terms: skipodds.com/terms · Privacy: skipodds.com/privacy
No other external requests are made. All plugin JavaScript is bundled locally.

FAQ
-
Where do the numbers come from?
-
The SkipOdds Index surveys bookmaker prices for each event, averages them per outcome, and removes the bookmaker margin so the probabilities sum to 100%. It is an aggregate market read, not a prediction model.
-
Is this a betting plugin?
-
No. The widget shows probabilities only — no bookmaker names, no odds links, no betting calls to action. It is informational content.
-
Which tournaments are covered?
-
The four men’s majors: The Masters, the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open, and The Open Championship. Each market appears automatically when books open it — usually weeks before the first tee.
-
What happens between majors?
-
The widget shows the next major once its market opens. Off-weeks display a quiet empty state rather than stale numbers.
