    Seriously. Please tell me this is what you believe so i can keep tearing you apart.

    If you bet this at 365 you'd lose.

    They do this with a lot of sports... used to nail me with tennis quite a bit and NBA too. They offer 3 way lines instead of two. Also offer 2way normal lines but they're normally off by the hook which entices you to bet that 3way shit. If it falls on the exact number - like 1 in 5000 (shari91 math) - you're sol. That's why the odds they offer for the exact # are crazy.

    wow. again, this is NOT a 3 way line like the way european football works.

    all they have done here is offered a tie as a sort of fantasy PROP once they saw the niners game tied. they want as many morons like you to bite on the +900 since it's free money for them.

    you'd have to be the dumbest motherfukker ever if you think betting houston +3 -138 really means that you're "only getting +2.5".

    do you realize how stupid this makes you look? do you realize that there are SEPARATE odds for +2.5? and do you realize that you could probably get +2.5 for close to +EV money? think very carefully before you reply again moron.

    I am guessing that it is a tie on the bears win by 3. If not I am going to join this book because they clearly do not have a clue whats going on and can be taken advantage of easily if you pick your spots.

    It's a 3 way handicap, unlike a typical 3-way with 2 MLs and a draw. Never seen it before.

    Paranoyd stop being so hostile - that is exactly what that bet is. It's a European Handicap and Bet365 are renowned for being epic squares who still give away value despite their horrible juice.

    Yeah, right?!

    I used to think they were dumb mofos and would always try to take advantage of that 3way crap in tennis. 4 or 5 times of the fricken number falling exactly on the handicap was enough for me to realise that I was the dummy in that one. When you touch that 3 way line if it falls on that exact spread you're wanked out. No cash, no push. Just one big loss.

    When the clowns go to sleep and let them get stale - they get pounded by sharps. Of course Bet365 then try to claim it was a line error and cancel or they snap limit everyone who bet it down to like $2.

    You think that now but tell me how many times you can pick if a team is going to win by exactly 3 or 7 or whatever. If they don't land on that number your bet is gone. No push. It sounds square on their part but they're giving you the hook and those odds for a reason. Total lottery.

    Ricky hi, did you offer a game prop for Houston or Chicago to end in a tie?

    Ricky if so what were the odds

    Ricky someone said there was odds being offering for a tie +750

    Matt A One moment please.

    Matt A We offer the tie as an option on the winning margin which would be around +3300.

    For example tomorrow:

    you can bet KC +14 -140
    PIT -14 +105

    OR

    KC +14 -130
    PITT -14 +115
    TIE +1200

    if you bet the second set of lines if the game ends on pitt winning by 14 both sides lose as the result is a TIE

    what is the advantage of even taking the three way line anyway?

    Duff ffs. See!!! They're bloody sharks mate. I was just telling someone that I got super pissed one night and actually called them asking who was making their tennis lines when it fell dead on yet again. I went ballistic and it wasn't even the cash. It was more like HOW THE FUK DO YOU KNOW THIS?????? All because the normal handi was maybe -4.5 and I wanted that -4.0. Never again

    I guess you have to calculate the push probability on the number and see if it is worth the odds you are laying... I never bet it anyways

    I said - when they fall asleep and give away value. In the screenshot that I posted on a tennis game they offered both a three way and two way line.

    The two way line was:
    Peng+3.5 -120
    Johannson-3.5 +100

    The three way line on the same game was:
    Peng+4 +125
    Johannson-4 +100
    Tie 4 +650

    For those not sure what to look at: Check the Johannson two way price and the three way Peng price.

    those two options make no sense. who in the fukk wouldn't pay .10 more on the dollar to have kc plus a "real" 14 vs. having kc at only +13.5? same goes if you're playing pitt. you'd always only lay a true -14 at +105 instead of laying -14.5 at +115.

    this has to be a joke where it's only costs .10 to play off a key number if you want the underdog. or, if you play the favorite, you're only getting .10 by overlaying off a key number. there is no value anywhere betting into that handicap.
