I can get argentina 3 way line at -125 is that +ev if i already have greece +1 +120?

What are pinny's 2nd half limits for the 3 way lines.

 

[rito]

-143/900/197 (20k limit)

Yes it's +EV. You would have to evaluate all the possibilities to determine the proper stakes though. greece +1 is now -174/160

 

[Bread]

Oh well. The skinnies blew it.

 

[Patty]

Thanks durito. I didn't get the line bodog moved it to -150

OK I don't know jack squat about soccer, and that's OK with me. I have been watching this shit for the last couple of weeks, and I have figured out what all the field markings are used for eccept 1. The chordal segment attached to the penalty area infront of the goal is used for what purpose? I have yet to see anything that it is used for. It seems that the circle in the middle of the field is used to start the game and keep everyone for the opposing side out of the circle, but I just want to know what the circlular pattern in front of the goal is used for, anyone know the answer, and also if I'm wrong about the penalty area or the center circle, please feel free to edumacate me.

 

[kato]

it is to look pretty

bread and illy still alive

 

[RageWizard]

Your telling me that they just paint a white line in front of the penalty area just for the hell of it? Come on it has to be there for some other reason than that.

 

[kato]

no just fucking with you...

The penalty arc (colloquially "the D") is marked from the outside edge of the penalty area, 9.15 metres (10 yds) from the penalty mark; this, along with the penalty area, marks an exclusion zone for all players other than the attacking kicker and defending goalkeeper during a penalty kick.

 

[RageWizard]

So during a penalty kick the only dude allowed in the penaly area and the arc is the dude kicking the ball and the goalie right. Does this mean that as soon as the dude kicks the ball, the play is started and if by chance the goalie blocks the ball and leaves a rebound, anyone can come up and kick it right. If I'm wrong then there really isn't a use for it eccept to keep the other players from heckling the penalty kicker from a close distance.
