Me: Hi Ken, good morning
Ken: Welcome to our Live Chat Department. My name is Ken. How may I be of assistance?
Ken: Good morning.
Me: I just have a quick question. There is aline at the French open, for Wawrinka +1.5sets at 2.31. This has been online for almost 12hrs. I was wondering if the line is reversed or if it's correct? It seems reversed to me but it's strange it hasn't been caught in all this time.
Ken: The information that we have in regard to this line is that the S WAWRINKA +1½+131 is for the HANDICAP SETS. The line is correct, we are just waiting for them to play, so we can disable the option to bet on this tennis match.
Me: so +131 = 2.31 in decimal odds, correct?
Me: so if I bet that line, it'll stand?
Ken: The line is fine, let me check on the odds.
Me: I meant, I think the odds are reversed
Ken: +131=2.31 you are correct sir.
Me: I strongly believe the odds are reversed and it's Wawrinka +1.5 at 1.64
Ken: But the odds on this match are correct sir, there is no problem with the line.
Me: how can the moneyline odd for wawrinka be lower than wawrinka +1.5?
Ken: My apologies for the delay sir.
Me: no problem at all
Ken: I was checking on this for you with the guys in charge of the lines.
Me: thanks
Ken: They are saying that the line is fine, the difference is that the market has been betting more on the set handicap than on the moneyline, this is way you can see the prices different. This is the line that the wagering center put on this game. The have it like this because they think that -1.5 is easier for WAWRINKA to complete than just to win the game.
Me: it says +1.5 for Wawrinka
Me: not -1.5
Ken: Sorry I meant +1.5
Me: so you are saying it's easier for Wawrinka to lose by 3-2 than it would be for him to just win the game??
Ken: That is why sir, we have the line like this. The guys in charge of putting this lines are saying that the lines are fine.
Me: I'm happy to bet the line...you'll guarantee me you won't void it, right? So Wawrinka +1.5 sets at 2.35 (or +135) as the odd just went up
Ken: That is correct sir, the good thing is that I was able to check with the person in charge of putting the lines on Tennis in our site, they verified the lines and they are saying that there is no problem with the information that is available there.
Ken: You are more than welcome to place a bet on this Tennis Match, there is nothing wrong with this line.
Me: ok, I just bet the line. Thanks.
