After qualifing in the CL in Spain on wednesday, the home team will take care of business domestically and earn its first win of the season. Two draws in two games so far is far from what was expected.
Those were shit picks again, me too backed the draw at Villa Park.
I'm sick of it all, will have a break from betting, see you all in a couple of weeks and GL.
The Stabaek line (+0.5,+1) v Rosenborg looks a little generous. By all accounts these teams are the mirror image of one another. 3rd vs 4th, similar defensive and offensive capabilities, home and away records etc. Injuries perhaps? Can't figure it out, almost to generous... hmmm. I won't be playing it, i'm still smarting over the weekend, but will keep an eye on it.
Hey guys, just a question.
What does +0.5 or +1 mean?
I mean I know what it means but how can a book charge same price for +0.5 than +1
My book doesnt do that.
Please explain
thanks
Howdy Bulldog,
It's basically just a version of the handicap market, whereby you get both a half goal AND a whole goal start. Sometimes you might see it displayed as +0.75. You have to split your wager in half too though, so that you have say $50 with +0.5 and $50 with +1. Using my example from last night, half of my wager lost (+0.5) and half (+1) pushed. In the end i didn't lose all my wager even though they lost the game. If i had been on at only +0.5 i would have lost it all. It's just another handicap variation offered by the books.
