Series line

[TheRocker]

Betfair have the Detroit Red Wings at 1.4 to "back" them. Does this mean that they are -250? I can't see the price being that high, I was thinking more like Detoit -150.

Pittsburgh at listed at 2.3 to "back", does this mean that they are +130?

Correct on both lines. There should be better offerings
closer to game time on Saturday.

Wow, a -250/+130 line has $1.20 of juice!

hey guys:

Ok so would like to clarify a couple of things for everybody:

1. Let's make sure we are talking about the right market:

<table style="width: 2px; height: 2px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3"><tbody><tr><td nowrap="nowrap">
</td> <td>
</td> <td class="right" width="100%">
</td></tr></tbody></table>
http://sports.betfair.com/Index.do?mi=21072729&ex=1&origin=MRL

(You can find the DIRECT LINK to a market on the Bottom of the Rules TAB -Right of screen)


2. Click that and you get the 08/09 Stanley Cup Winner's market

3. Uncheck the "Back & Lay" Tickbox so you ONLY see the price to Back (Now the screen looks like any Bookie screen)

4. Right now (4p.m. EST) I see 1.71 Wings (Best Back price in Blue) and 2.36 (best Back price in blue) for the Pens

5. Using the decimal/US converter on the HELP tab, we get -141 for Wings and +136 for Pens.

6. A couple of other notes:

1. There has been 214K traded on this market so far.
2. It used to have all the teams and this live market started after last year's stanley cup and has been going on ever since.

(http://sports.betfair.com/Index.do?mi=100350508&ex=1&origin=MRL )

That's the Super Bowl Market.

****Also, remember if you dont like the odds, you can "leave an order on the system" and wait for somebody to match you****No match = no bet.

You can do this anytime and on any market. ALL markets are IN-PLAY.

Hope that helps

GL,

rob

I thought this was odd about the series line:

Det was around -140 before game 1 series 0-0
Det was around -220 before game 2 series 1-0
Det was around -400 before game 3 series 2-0
Det is now -140 before game 5 series 2-2

If you look at the series props at the Greek you can see they believe it is 7 game series. The question is can Fluery play at least one good game at the JOE and steal one for the pens.

Go Pitt

Just curious what you find so odd about the line?

It was -140 before the series started.
Their tied 2-2 and it's back to -140

Detroit is the reghning[sp] champ and have home ice.

What exactly is so odd about any of that?
Enough to make a post about it.

Well compared to the lakers series line...

Lakers before game 1 -220
Lakers before game 2 -500 1-0 series lead

It just seemed like they had left the Wings low at -400 despite a 2-0 series lead.

Any idea what the line will be before game 6? My book is still offering Red Wings at -145 and have already dumped a lot on it and am thinking about adding a ton more.
