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

yeah I just realized that a moment ago ................ but I see a lot of these games plus money for both sides invloved do these games end in a tie a whole lot ? cuz you gotta like those odds if theres 3-5 games on the board like this a day ! Matt Rain enlighten me please

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.
