Can someone explain why dortmund +2 are 1.88 but RM -2 are 3.6? For the life of me I can't see how the bets are not the same.

If Real Madrid win by 3 - you win
RM win by 2 you get your stake back
RM win by 1 you lose

If Dortmund win - you win
Dortmund draw - you win
Dortmund lose by 1 - you win
Dort lose by 2 - stake back
Lose by 3 + you lose

It gets very complex. have a read of this. It explains it better. Or Tweet @petenordsted - he will explain it much better than me :)

There's a good explaination here http://www.premier-betting.com/5141/asi ... they-work/

Dortmund +2 means that if backed, you will win the pick if Dortmund win the game by any margin, draw the game or lose the tie by 1 goal. (As they have started +2 goals ahead in theory).

Madrid -2 means they have to win the game by 3 goals, otherwise your selection will lose. If Madrid lose, draw or win by 1 or 2 your selection will lose. (As they have started -2 goals down in theory).

Therefore, you can understand that there is a much more likely chance that Dortmund +2 selection will win, hence the differences in odds.

If you are betting on asian handicap rather than normal euro handicap, then this adds another outcome. If you backed Dortmund +2 and they lost the game by 2 goals, your stake will be returned, the selection itself will be voided.

For Madrid -2, if they win the game by 2 goals then the pick will again be voided. Asian handicap is a much more profitable way of betting for this reason.

Hope this helps :)
