understanding BETFAIR?
Everyday i look at the lines at BETFAIR even though i do not have a account with them now(I'm with MATCHBOOK & TRADESPORTS) but will for next NFL season if i can ever understand what the hell they are offering!.
However their imbecilic and overly complicated website and playcards have me pulling hair out trying to understand what they are about.
BigBoyDan just love BETFAIR and have advise me to learn how to deal with them because according to Danny they are a veritable gold mine!!!
So with this in mind: BigBoydan(or any body else)can you try to explain the following to me please?:
Today on betfair for THE NHL game between Pittsburgh vs montreal they showed the following:
REGULAR TIME MATCH ODDS:
MATCH--------HOME---------DRAW-----------AWAY
---------------back.Lay------back.Lay--------back.Lay
pittsburgh vs-- 3.3 /3.4-------4.3 /4.5--------2.06/2.01
montreal
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
MONEY LINE:
-----------------BACK-----LAY
PITTSBURGH-----2.56------2.60
MONTREAL-------1.62------1.65
Now on the money line ticket,i understand that you can bet Pittsburgh for example with "back" option,i also understand that you can "back" a DRAW on the 1st ticket but i don't get the"Lay" option,why do you need it?If you don't bet one side than you automatically are betting the other side,no?
Why do you need a HOME and AWAY option since you can check either the Pittsburgh or Montreal Team names with your selection,no? They send me e-mail back after i made the mistake of asking for help in order to explain the meaning of their rubbish and was told by a asshole:
To " Lay" is to bet the other side??WTF?why don't just bet the other side by clicking the other side?
Notice also that under the "AWAY" option (I.E Pittsburgh is a favorite now and not a dog anymore or are they?....)
So can someone be kind enough enough to explain this nonsense to me in English?
thank you.
