Why you should bet against Italy today

[Betfair.com]

Betfair is bet-in-play every single second so there actually is NEVER a closing line until the final whistle...people continue to bet back and forth throughout the game...

If you would like to see line movements you should click on the Graph icon next to each team to see how the betting has gone from when the line was hung To the very end of the game...its TRUE in-play betting.

Bookies will let you know that they are "in running" or "in-play" and will stop the betting, re-adjust their line (including adding their profit margin!) and then serve it back up to you...they use pretty sophisticated software to do this...

AT betfair you are betting against others watching the same game! Mano a mano...you against the other guy...two friends in a really humongous bar shaking hands on a bet!!

Betfair brings sports gambling BACK to what it was in the beginning - just YOU vs. the other guy!!

Hey Seer (and others reading this thread):

To take this one step further, you may be wondering what happens in a game with 2 outcomes like Boston / LAL Game 6 tonight...or on a Moneyline?

Well it's really no big deal...

Right now here is the line (it moves lower and lower as we get closer to game time)

Bet For: (The traditional way to bet you are used at any bookie)

Boston +6.5 @ 2.02 decimal odds = +102 US
LA -6.5 @ 1.97 decimal odds = -103 US
<table style="width: 17px; height: 44px;" id="runnerTable" class="runnerTable "><tbody id="runnerTbody" class=" "><tr id="runner_22287704" class="cacheable runner "><td class="info border">
</td> <td id="EBP_0_22287704" class="cacheable b1 back buttonWidth buttonContainer ">
</td> <td id="ELP_0_22287704" class="cacheable l1 lay layDisplay buttonWidth buttonContainer ">
</td><td class="rightSpacer">
</td> </tr> <tr id="runner_22287705" class="cacheable runner "> <td class="info border">
</td> <td id="EBP_0_22287705" class="cacheable b1 back buttonWidth buttonContainer pressedBack">
</td> <td id="ELP_0_22287705" class="cacheable l1 lay layDisplay buttonWidth buttonContainer ">
</td></tr></tbody></table>
Bet Against (You are taking the bet just like a bookie would)

Boston +6.5 @ 2.04 decimal odds = +104 US
LA -6.5 @ 1.98 decimal odds = -102 US
<table id="runnerTable" class="runnerTable "><tbody id="runnerTbody" class=" "><tr id="runner_22287704" class="cacheable runner "><td class="info border">
</td><td id="EBP_0_22287704" class="cacheable b1 back buttonWidth buttonContainer ">
</td><td id="ELP_0_22287704" class="cacheable l1 lay layDisplay buttonWidth buttonContainer ">
</td><td class="rightSpacer">
</td></tr><tr id="runner_22287705" class="cacheable runner "><td class="info border">
</td><td id="EBP_0_22287705" class="cacheable b1 back buttonWidth buttonContainer pressedBack">
</td><td id="ELP_0_22287705" class="cacheable l1 lay layDisplay buttonWidth buttonContainer ">
</td></tr></tbody></table>When there are ONLY 2 outcomes possible as in a pointspread or a moneyline, Betting FOR Boston or Betting AGAINST LA is pretty much the EXACT same thing.

N.B. The pointspread will NEVER change in this market. If the Bookies move the points to 6 or up to 7 for example, we simply post a new market and you can either bet on the 6.5 line or on the 7.
