Soccer Line Question

[wal66]

I admit (as if I needed too) that I don't reallyunderstand exactly all things about lines but this one strikes me as odd. Is it just because it is a soccer match or is this a mistake?


Oct 15 8301 BORUSSIA DORTMU -135 o2-125
2:30 PM 8302 FC KOLN +350 u2-115


-135 and +350?

I'm guessing that you're looking at lines to win for each team but you're missing the odds for the draw which would be around +300

Yap missing the draw.

I'm still confused as to the drastic difference between -135 and +350.

Why? It just means one team has a much larger chance of winning the game than the other. Converting the odds to probabilities (which add up to >100% since I didn't bother to work out the no vig line) gives you:

Borussia - 57.45%
Koln - 22.22%
Draw - 28.99%

Yeah, Pavy explained it to me. Neither of my books offer Asian lines. This 3 line stuff will take some getting used to.
