-1 and ML

nikossf · 10-17-13, 05:08 PM

In soccer, Tennis, and baseball it seems to be the -1 or +1 is VERY important. Not so much in football or basketball.

Not sure why,..but whenever I see the -1 in football I always take the underdog.

-1 and ML is basically the same right? Only thing is the bet will be called off is the score is example 3-2 4-3 2-1.

No its not the same. -1 compared to pk (ml) in hockey is worth about 100 cents on a line. Enormous difference.

I know that. But what im wondering is if I pick a team, ex, I am wanting to pick Vancouver Canucks tonight at -1@ 2.3 odds compared to ML at 1.69, will I loose the bet is the final score is 3-2(Vancouver wins) or will my bet be pushed and returned back to me or is it a LOOSE.

Canucks -1 is a Push if vancouver wins 3-2.

vancouver in 60 minutes(reg) is another option where they must win in 60 minutes and if game goes to overtime you lose.

Yea okay thanks. I can't find the 60 minutes (reg) at 5Dimes. Am I blind or they don't offer it?

5dimes does offer regulation bets.

canucks in regulation are -1/2 +110. American odds.

In NBA, the 1 is worth very little (about 5 cents), yet some books offer it at 10 cents difference with ML. So, a -1 -110/-110 vs a ML -120/+100, if you want the dog, you should take ML, if you want the fave, you take the spread.
