    Soccer Spread to ML

    How would I go about approximating the ML value for a team if i calculate a spread (in soccer)? is there a tool anywhere for this

    You need the total as well. I would look at Pinnacle's drop-down menu to get a feel for it.

    Well Ive noticed today for example in the EPL there was two teams favoured by -0.25 and the total was also 2.25 in both games, so accordingly the ML values were the same. Is there a formula to calculate it or anything?

    There is some quite good reading on this subject but I cannot locate it for the moment.
    The relationship between spreads, totals and the 12X odds varies quite a bit from league to league.

    Rather than using Pinnacle, I would suggest that you compile a database using the (no vig) odds and spreads from ExtraBet. They are a specialist in true spread betting (as opposed to Asian Handicap).

    Thanks Dunder,
    Also anyone know where I can find historical data for ML, and totals for the premier league?
