baffled by MLB ''euro-lines''

[lillihammer]

surfing about today and came across a sports book that posted the following MLB lines...

MIL-MON 1,65 - 1,80
STL-NYM 1,60 - 1,90
HOU-FLA 1,50 - 2,05
COL-CIN 1,55 - 1,95
and so forth

am i to interpret this as HOU -165 FLA +105
and.......................MIL -150 MON -125

i just don't get these lines

lilihammer,

Go to www.gcsports.com log in as guest and click on MLB. When the lines appear click on EU lines at the top of the page and our site will covert the U.S. Moneylines into the decimal style format.

Euro odds show for every dollar risked what your return is. For example 1.57 means for every dollar wagered you will win 57 cents which is -175 U.S. Underdog prices are real easy, for example +165 would convert to 2.65 or $1.65 returned for every $1 wagered.

Hope this helps

What European sportsbook is this?

[lillihammer]

reno,

i don't know if it's a european book but it seems to cater to them with tonnes of soccer and MLB lines like these. it appears that these lines are as bad as i thought they were.

the book is at http://www.worldbet.com .

i posted in case these lines had some potential to be better in some way than what i'm used to. it appears that neither dogs or favs get a better break with these. it seems a pick 'em would see both sides at 1,70 and the lines work out from there. these are atrocious

With a rake like that, it doesn't take long to "finish" the garden!!!!!!!!!!
