Serious question - how are betting lines set?

[atofsu32111]

So before I bet petare venezuela I saw line set at 2.2.5 -154 , most vigged game by far but still I wonder if line should be at 2 bc of vry nice under history and ultra good form

So did the book know it was going over by giving me value?

Also goias mineiro -132 2.5 best under form I seen but watching many chances so far

since no one wants to say ill answer cause its really simple. about a week before game every team has to send in their line on the game so the teams make the lines and in the middle is the draw very simple concept

First be more specific, do who want to know how the 1x2 lines are set or the Over/Under?

In either case you should start to study and understand the principles of Poisson Distribution applied to football betting. All lines are set on pure statistical formulas (at least for big leagues).

In Australia at least, bookies employ a number of 'experts', statisticians, even mathematicians, to develop and set lines on games.

It isn't an exact science, and sometimes they get it wrong, when they do, we cash in.
