    There was a "Draw" option right under these two teams. Welcome to 3-way wagering.

        They do end in a tie quite a lot, especially when the two teams are evenly matched.

        As a general rule, I wouldn't bet 3-way lines in soccer - most books have a huge hold on these and value is nonexistent 95%+ of the time.

        Check this one out for example (Betonline) :

        CA HURACAN +145
        ATLETICO LANUS +150
        Draw +210

        Using SBR's Arbitrage Calculator, I come up with a 11.5626% hold for the book - it's the equivalent of a sixty-cent line (-130 both ways) on a 50/50 proposition. Ouch.

        There's still value to be found in these, especially at square books like Betonline who don't get a lot of soccer action, but the market needs to move in a big way (and the square book must really be sleeping at the switch) for the bettor to have an edge.

          Unless you know what the fix is do not play 3 way soccer lines.
