I'll try since Alex was so kind to explain it to me when I asked earlier in the thread. Here's an example from today:

20) Karabakh - Zimbru [2+0] @1.97/BetFair/27 Jul 06 17:00 CET/1%/ UEFA Cup

Here is an explanation. I'm going to include an explanation of both the obvious and the not-so-obvious.

20) = the number of the bet in this thread.

Karabakh = the home team (the team on the left is always the home team).

Zimbru = the visiting team (the team on the right is always the away team).

[2+0] = 2: this means a bet on the second team, +0: this means that the bet is a pick which means that if it's a tie your money is returned. If there is a +.25 this means half a bet on the pick and half a bet on +0.5 for the team of choice.

@ 1.97 = European odds. Odds of 2.00 is equal to +100 in American odds. European odds less than 2.00 are negative American odds and European odds of greater than 2.00 are positive American odds.

BetFair = the name of the book where the bet was found.

27 Jul 06 17:00 CET = the time and date the match starts.

1% = the percentage of bankroll bet.

UEFA Cup = the league where the match is being played.

Thank you, mate. The best explanation in the universe.

Perfect, thanks QL. Did you get the invite to the EPL fantasy league?

Yes I did. Thanks.



Now I need to act on it.

Thanks. It's the least I can do to pay back all the money I have won on your bets. I stayed away from the Brann/Glentoran [>2.5] pick today because I heard that it was going to be warm in Bergen today and the field would not be in good shape due to rain. The last match was a 1-0 away win so I felt there wouldn't be an urgency by the better team (Brann) to score many points.

We knew the side because of the 1 but what did the -2.5 indicate? Great work Alex

I bet it a won. But I have to admit that I too did not know what the -2.5 meant either.

i'm guessing it was the number of sets lead.

23) Spain (U18) - Sweden (U18) [1] @1.3/BetAndWin/29 Jul 2006 19:15 CET/1%/Basketball Woman U18

Here, in russia handicap betting in tennis is very popular.
But in international bookies only 5Dimes and sometimes GB offers such deals...
Sometimes I will use Fonbet in such picks, though it is russian, but it do have English version and accepts all international payments.

 

[FairlySquarely]

It's best of 3 sets.

oops, i meant games, not sets.

So, is the bet Djokovic to win 2 - 0 ?

31) Dinamo Moscow(0) - Zenit Petersburg [1] @2.04/Pinnacle/30 Jul 06 16:00 CET/1%/Soccer, Russia

So, is the bet on Zenit Petersburg winning 1 - 0
