Love how Euro books try to cover up their scabby lines using the Euro Handicap

[Duff85]

For those that aren't aware the Euro Handicap means that ties lose, unlike the Asian Handicap where a tie pushes. Just checking out a game on PaddyPower at the moment:

Celtic -1 -125
Hearts+1 +275
Tie +250 (Celtic win by 1)

Celtic -2 +210
Hearts+2 -120
Tie +300 (Celtic win by 2)

Effectively this means that they are dealing:
Celtic-1.5 -125
Hearts+1.5 -120

Yeah it's pathetic but has always been like that. pinnacle has a hold around 2% when they offer 3-way handicaps (rare, but is offered for big tournaments) Euro bookies 9+% and the example you shown isn't even the worse. Will find sites like Interwetten with 12-15% hold on most 3-way handicaps.

Pinnacle
Betfair

If you think these odds are bad you should go into a ladbrokes/willy hills/coral shop in the uk and the odds are worse than online.
