You're confusing me already, what are betting lines?

 

[ice2k4]

Betting Lines work like this.

Instead of giving each team odds, you give the whole game a betting standard.

Let's say the Jets are playing the Chiefs. The Jets are a better team.
SO the betting would look like this:

Over: Jets
Under: Chiefs
Spread: 6

This means that if you bet on the Chiefs, and they lose by 6 or less, you still win.


I might however, jsut to make it simple do straight bets. Like you win whatever you bet, and there are no odds or no spreads.

 

[dutchfire]

spread won't work with soccer, a lot of games end with just one goal difference.
Straight odds can be done, but that would mean anyone would bet on the clearly better teams during the group fase.

I Want 50 gold on England to beat Trinidad and Tobago On thursday, what are the odds on that?

 

[ice2k4]

1.5 to 1. England is heavily favored if I'm correct.

 

[BCLG100]

nooooo

anywhoo 50 gold on them to win!

 

[ice2k4]

Ok 50 gold on England it is. In teh event of a tie however, I do win. You are betting on England winning, which means your betting against England losing or tieng

ok then, well its called 'drawing' but ok England are gonna win either way!

 

[ice2k4]

Sorry here in America we say tie!

 

[BCLG100]

Sorry here in America we say tie!

yer but you say 'soccer' as well so im not going to trust your footballing knowledge

 

[dutchfire]

I want to bet 10 gold that T&T doesn't lose against England
And 10 gold on Spain winning their next match against Tunesia.

 

[ice2k4]

The odds for oyur first bet are 2 to1.
The odds for your second bet are 1.5 to 1.

And yes BLCG, soccer here in America is barely a professional sport. Reason I don't say football, is because our football is like your rugby, but a little more organized in the sense of play making and the game-clock stopping.

 

[BCLG100]

+you wear pads....

 

[ice2k4]

Ahh that to.

 

[ice2k4]

BCLG you have won 75 gold.
Dutch you have lost 10 gold.

 

[ice2k4]

Dutch you have won 7 gold.

 

[dutchfire]

yeah!
I put that 7 gold on Germany going to the next round.

I would like to put 20 gold down on the Brew Crew to beat the Royals tonight. (According to Vegasinsider dot com, so do 94% of the people)

 

[ice2k4]

Dutch your betting odds are 2 to1.
George your betting odds are 1.5 to 1 (I mean it's pretty damned obvious the brewers will win.)
