Anyone ever seen a total of 1.5 on a soccer game?

**englishmike** · 06-05-09, 11:31 PM

I've not seen that in 30 years.

What game is it?

**Emily_Haines** · 06-05-09, 11:33 PM

I was just wondering because I saw the total on the Iran/N. Korea game was 2 with UNDER 2 being -132

That's the lowest I have ever seen.

I'm seeing 2 or 3 goals at around even money at the Euro books.

World Cup final 2006 France-Italy. I did not even oppose it. Simply thought the price was correct.

I'm certainly not saying you're wrong but I can honestly say I've never seen a total of 1.5.

That doesn't mean to say it's never happened.

Mike, I was looking at the Pinny lines for this game.

I'm seeing under/over 2. What if it's 2?

**englishmike** · 06-06-09, 12:05 AM

OK, I've got it, over is +113, under is -132 and I'm assuming 2 is a push right?

So the book is saying the price is -132 only one goal will be scored? If that's right it's crazy but remember you need 3 goals to win the over because the 2 pushes. It's a big jump from 1 to 3 so all they've done (if i'm reading it right) is price one goal at -132 knowing you need to get to 3 goals to win your +113. It's all in their favor given the 2 pushes.

High chance that both sides will stop playing after 20 minutes and spend the rest of the game trying to nuke each other.

He's right, the total for that match was 1.5 at about even money.

Totally take your word for it, I can honestly say I don't remember that although I'm not really a totals player. The interesting thing about that game is that it was the best 1-1 draw you'll ever see, it had everything.

You see some crazy numbers in Finnish soccer if it's a blizzard, and both team's strikers have to miss due to work.

Aren't you supposed to live otside US to use PINNACLE?

**Karayilan9** · 06-06-09, 08:27 AM

Its usually aways an option in most European books, Betfair has Over/Under goals listed from 1.5 - 4.5 you can also choose up to 7 goals or more. Bet365 give even more options, Under 1 goals up to whatever is in the additional goal line list.

Total 1.5 it's very rare and when it's offered it's rarely cashed. Why would you bet an under 1.5 ever for even money when you can bet draw for +240? To cash an under 1.5 you need 0-0 or 1-0 whereas if you bet draw you can cash it with 0-0 or 1-1 and not get burned.

OMG pavy posts words of wisdom. Pavy stole my post, because there is no way I'll play an under 1.5. I don't ever recall seeing one that low but have seen some 2's.
