amacpher Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 quote:Originally posted by jpg75 Costa Rica 2.00 Draw 3.30 Canada 3.75 Amacpher, if you're looking for a good bet try the "Draw No Bet". Canada is paying 2.62. Or the Asian Handicap has Canada at 1.775 for +0.5 which means you win if it ends in a draw. Thanks. I'll think about the Draw No bet. I'm torn b/w that and just picking a draw, since that's a good result for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto MB Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I've found Canada listed at 21/1 to win the Cup. http://www.expekt.com/index.jsp?lc=eng I might have to take a $20 punt on that. Though I feel like the more I invest myself into Canada achieving something the more unlikely it is to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Rollins1555362254 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 If Canada wins this thing a few of us are in for some money... I got us at 48:1 on betfair. I only put $25 down, but still not too bad. I don't actually think we're going to win but 48:1 was stupid bad handicapping (like someone might get fired handicapping if it plays. You don't list a team at 48:1 that has been to the semis or better three times in the last five tournaments...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handicapping has very little to do with who prediciting a winner and everything to do with making sure the bookies are not killed by a result. 48-1 is likley required to attract money to offset the money being dropped on the US and/or Mexico to win. Bookies spread out the risk and will make more or less the same profit if Canada wins at 48-1 as the US or Mexico winning at the lower odds. Remember, the house never gambles...

Of course it's a risk/reward thing...but they don't want to get burnt by an undervalued team. The 48:1 line was way too big of a risk for the house. Canada would have likely received the perfect amount of action at about 15:1 to 20:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
