Requests need to be made the night before and before I post events for the next day. Need to be made before 11pm ET the night before as I usually post them sometime after that.

If you can put what league these soccer games come from it would be helpful to me to find the odds for them. Thanks!

 

[night]

Braves @ Pirates for the 20th. Heck, I'd wager today if you put the game up for today.

For these soccer wagers, for determining the winner and the O/U, could you clarify whether you are closing them as regulation-only (counting only scores in the first 90 minutes) bets as most sportsbooks do, or are you also counting the extra time (overtime) and penalty shootouts?

That makes a pretty big difference in how one would bet...

To be clear, I do know it doesn't matter for this game, since this wasn't a knockout game (so there would be no overtime or penalty shootouts in any case), but in general, for soccer games, should we assume settlements are regulation-only or not?

Thanks.

It was too late for todays game as requests must be the night before. I will get game posted for tomorrow.

Yea, I would assume they are regulation unless it is a knockout game like I was doing for the World Cup and there I specified whether it was a regulation or winner (or to advance) bet.

Cool.

Just one more question: When it is a draw (as was the case with this Real Madrid-Atletico Madrid game), are you returning the bets of the people who bet on either side (so that the bet gets settled as a push), or would a draw get settled as losses for both sides? Thanks.

If it is a Draw then only the Draw wins and whoever bet on either side would lose just like how Vegas would do a bet.



Also, stop betting on both sides of a bet that pays out evenly...it is stupid and pointless. I put the odds as even to make it easier but if people start betting on both sides of the same bet again. I will do let vegas and take a commission out of the bets so it doesn't pay to bet both sides

I don't think people are betting both sides to gain an advantage (even without a commission, it's not mathematically possible to gain any advantage from betting both sides when both odds are 1/1 -- as you said, it is pointless). People are betting both sides to fix a previous betting mistake (since the software doesn't allow any bet cancellations) or because they've changed their minds about what team they like.

For example, on this game, I wanted to bet about 2400 on the over, but I accidentally submitted to the under. After my submission, I realized my mistake, so how to fix it, since there's no way to cancel an already-submitted bet? Bet twice as much (4800) on the over, which, in conjunction with my mistaken 2400 bet on the under, is equivalent to the original goal: betting 2400 on the over.

Then there are other times when you feel good about Team A, so you bet some money on them the night before. When you wake up the next day, you no longer feel good about Team A, so then you put some money on the other team, Team B.
