    Anyone else think soccer would be better without Tie games or (DRAWS)????

    I really want to get into soccer. I think its exciting... however I hate how there can be 3 different outcomes for a game or "match" if you will.


    Seriously its fukkng gay! I had England ML in the world cup qualifier and the game ends in a fukkin draw????


    if i am a fan and i paid to see a tie game I would feel like okay ... why the hell did i waste my time watching this game for 3 hours and now there is not even a winnner???? crazy


    I heard they were thinking about doing away with the Tie games for the match play in the world cup,

    has anyone heard about this?

    That's why you bet on draw-no-bet or PK! Eliminates the draw issue!

    Exactly, only problem is if you're US (I am), options are limited and pk more often than not isn't available. Courtesy of Big Brother

    Draws are part of soccer (football) and are not going to removed from the game because you lost a bet. Sorry, just the hard truth.

    You have to bet asians as blowseq says. Tough to get decent lines and low juice for American players though. Otherwise the juice is incredibly low. The market will give you almost 0ev bets if you can shop around across UK/Asian books and matchbook.

    no. football (soccer) would suck without draws. it's part of the game. if they decided every game with penalties it would give luck more importance. winning championships is about regularity.

    There's 2 possible outcome in asian handicap bets (win or lose) but still draw exists in game. Football would be a more fun game without draws. We would bet ML like hockey.

    Actually, it's not something new!

    In the late 1980s, a number of European football leagues, including Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Norway, experimented with penalty shoot-outs immediately after drawn league matches, with the winner gaining one point more than the loser. Japan's J. League used shoot-outs after drawn games to determine a winner too. These were soon abandoned though..

    Football would be a more exciting game without draws..

    The reason most sides on soccerlines are + is because the draw-factor. Otherwise everything would be -110/-125. You couldn't make as much money on soccer if you took the 'third' option away for the sake of having a 50/50 outcome.

    ☝ What he said. Could live without penalty kicks. Same with hockey, shootouts are a horrible way to decide the outcome of a game. Play 'til someone scores (at the knockout stage).

    I agree BigBear. That is one thing the Americans got right. There's a winner and a loser. No gay ass ties!

    the three way outcome is why soccer is always a money maker for the books. Plenty of people bet the 7-10 team parlays with huge moneylines, usually the worst odds is the one that draws and blows it all up

    Should be like Hockey playoffs.....Sudden Death....Don't know why they ever got rid of Golden Goal

    How exciting would it be to play till a goal is scored.......People will get tired, but maybe allow 2 extra subs if game goes past 120 minutes

    as a fan it probably would be better. as a bettor, hell no, at at least +200 draw is the best bet in sports.

    The 3 way lines are great way to hide increased juice as well.

    ''GAY-ASS ties'' (!??!?!)


    alright Misha, what is your suggestion then? Penalties after every fckn match?
    Don't you think there would be even more regular time draws that way?
    The underdogs would want to kill most of the 2nd half to take it to PK and get a genuine chance of winnin Bayern, Barca or whichever favourite they facin.
