Dead Heat fellas, meaning my book gave me back 50% of the total wager...

Balance: $1034.05

Not impressed as the Sri Lankans really did lose that win (if that even makes sense)...

More plays to come when I see value. Have a good one...

U cleared a profit, AC. Take the $ and move on.

When Olympic sports was big, my saying was that "the sun never sets on Spiro's world empire."

Dumb Q, when Cricket scoring is thru the roof, how the penetrate does a match end in a Draw?

Hey no worries Chucky. So from my understanding when a one day 50 over match ends with both teams scoring the same amount of runs its declared a dead heat thus the draw...

Rarely happens though. Thankfully my book didn't offer a line for the draw...

Cheers and GO REDS!!!

The title of "+EV play only thread" and then saying "Only posting plays with lines of +100 or more" doesn't make sense to me.

It didn't to me for a while too haha

So basically in US odds when a line is +100 its considered to be +EV as its paying back odds that are 1 to 1 or greater.

Hope that helped...

I understand how US odds work it's just that commonly +EV means "positive expected value" and not specifically a bet paying greater than even money.

A greater than even money bet may actually be -EV hence my confusion with your thread title and explanation.
