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.

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 nowComment -
And it kills 5Dimes for livebetting...and going a step further, Matchbook kills 5D for MLB bettingComment -
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.Originally posted by sdiddy25Comment -
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.Originally posted by sdiddy25Comment -
