Bet365 can't hold a candle to 5dimes....terrible for MLB Betting

[sdiddy25]

Just wanted to post this thread in case any other North American players like to wager on baseball. Always having used 5 dimes or Pinnacle, I assumed any book would offer -1 run line options on baseball. I learned the hard way that Bet365 does not offer this simple option. They offer a 3 Way Run Line which is basically a scam to catch new members. In this manner of play -1 isn't really -1, it's -1.5 because you have to win by 2 to win the wager. Why a large book wouldn't offer such a simple betting option is beyond me. Luckily it was only $100 I was out with this 3 Way option, but baseball betters beware, Bet365 is not the book for you if you like to wager on this sport.

It's a European book - totally different target audience, different betting culture, different demands.

Can't compare them.both are solid books
although neither are that charitable bonus wise

exactly..Euro/UK world bettors are different than USA bettors
USA bettors for most part are not live or exchange players either

UK Books geared to all live stuff now

And it kills 5Dimes for livebetting...and going a step further, Matchbook kills 5D for MLB betting

Seems like you're just angry and taking it out on Bet365. For any 3 way line a tie is a loss..that goes for NHL as well. Just the way Euro books post their lines.

Hence 3 Way option. There's always going to be 2 ways to beat you. If you can't see both then ask someone how it works.
