actually only a tie could lose this bet. but i'm guaranteed $45 right

[DrunkenLullaby]

You're betting "No draw" at -222. Nothing special. I'd imagine you're slightly on the worst side of it.

[crshin2me]

in that same match the sides are +145 but the draw is +220 so what's the besr way to play all three

[pico]

0-0 and 1-1 are pretty common with english premier games. the total for most matches are usually around 2 to 2.5, not a lot of scoring

how can u lose this bet?

2 ways,
you bet with a sportsbook that goes out of buisness with you money or
the stadium blows up and the sportsbook decides thats a loss

The best way to play all three is to bet $0 on each.

Word of advice fellas - if you don't understand , then don't wager on it. Too late for our friend that started the thread.

i suggest start with asian handicap rather than 1x2 for those of you who are not familiar with soccer.

1-1 FT. there is no such thing as a sure thing.

[jjgold]

Now he has to go 5-0 on these types of bets at same price

I stay away from soccer because don't really understand pricing and value.

[DrunkenLullaby]

Well, at least Wigan & Spurs supplied him with an answer - even if we hadn't been around to do so. Wonder how he zeroed in on that game to try to invoke this "no-lose" strategy.

[jjgold]

Drunken good work giving us odds in his can't miss bet

[Joeyfitzclick]

It's a three way bet, if the game is a draw you lose both. Risking $200 to win $45.

Actually, as Joey point out below your post, it was quite shitty work by me. He actually laid -444 on the "No draw". For some reason I calculated 100 to win 45 instead of 200 to win 45.

I have been following soccer or football (as what is called outside the USA) for the last 3 decades and I have also been betting on soccer for at least 25 years but I still much prefer the Asian Handicap due to there advantages listed below.

Asian Handicap vs Fixed Odds
The advantages of the two different ways to bet on a soccer match:

Asian Handicap
- Eliminate the possibility of a draw.
- You get high prices on favourites.
- If a quarter handicap match ends in a draw, you only lose 50% of your stake.
- Good fun when following a match live - one single goal is likely to change everything.
- When playing multiple betting the number of outcomes are reduced from 27 (3x3x3) to only 8 (2x2x2).

Fixed Odds
- A very high number of bookmakers to choose from.
- Bankers. It is possible to bet on "secure" games, which might be suitable for an accumulator.
- Bigger odds on outsiders.
- Much easier to find value bets. You only need home-draw-away estimations, in Asian Handicap it is required that you are able to predict exact results.

i love to take +0.5 on certain games. especailly when you're up one goal...you know you can concede one and still win.
