[Toronto_Mike]

[Toronto_Mike]

Joe Public has every right to laugh at me now.

Unreal, lets not play at Villa Park anymore

 

[~Utah]

Let's go man city

 

[KJ]

lost the spurs over and arse under

felt solid about those 2 at half

 

[~Utah]

I just can't believe I didn't get that draw

It was in the bag

 

[guaranteeed]

City are too good

they win at least 2 or 3 trophies this year

 

[~Utah]

Teed

Can you believe I didn't get the draw

It was my first well capped game in 3 years that I felt confident about

 

[guaranteeed]

I didn't see any of it outside Villa pressing for the tie a the end

I liked the pick though

I need to start betting more draws

 

[hugh613]

Against my better judgment... I'm going to make a soccer bet today.

12/27/2013 1:00 PM Turkey Soccer 151 Besiktas (TUR-S)/Genclerbirligi (TUR-S)* Over 2½ -137

rayer

 

[hugh613]

:goal:

 

[KJ]

get it hugh

 

[hugh613]

Thanks kj. The way it's been for me in soccer this year, that'll probably be the only goal all game - should make it easier to take a nap though : )

:shake:

 

[Monger]

West Ham +160.

 

[KowboyKarl]

Question for the soccer experts...

If I like a team to win (-0.5), why would I bet them -0.5 instead of on the three-way? It's the same thing, isn't it? Looking at 5dimes odds, I always notice the odds are slightly better on the three-way line...

Examples today:

Hull City (-0.5) +115, Hull City (three-way) +118

Cardiff (-0.5) +150, Cardiff (three-way) +153

 

[KJ]

same thing, take the one with better odds

 

[KowboyKarl]

same thing, take the one with better odds

That's what I figured, just can't understand why they don't have them with the same odds.

 

[KJ]

I see it quite a bit where it's 5-10 cents off, dunno

 

[Monger]

Nice last 5' West Ham. Bitches

 

[Monger]

Big Sam bout to get the sack.

 

[~Utah]

Nice last 5' West Ham. Bitches

What I was thinking as well, hoping they can tie this thing up pretty quickly

 

[hugh613]

That's what I figured, just can't understand why they don't have them with the same odds.

Well, I'm sure Mike or teeed will be able to provide a more sophisticated answer than me but I think, in large part, it's all about the eye test...

Which one are you naturally going to gravitate towards more, the option on the left, or the option on the right with the more enticing odds? Considering how much fuss people make about 5 cents here, 5 cents there, the majority of people are just naturally going to go for the greater odds. Plus, it's also in the book's best interest to entice people into betting the three way, because now you have three potential outcomes, as opposed to just the two with the AH (more opportunity for them to rake in funds). I think it also has to do with "theoretical hold", but that stuff's a little out of my knowledge base.

 

[~Utah]

One more west ham

 

[Monger]
