Betting
Line Betting is an even-money bet
(Odds 2.00). It's a
light version of
Spread Betting, but there is
one major difference:
If you win you double your money, if you lose you lose
your stake.
Examples of bet offers in Line Betting
are:
Number of corners
Number of bookings
Time of 1st goal
How many league points a team will finish the season on
You bet against a line of numbers representing all
possible results. In order to bet you either 'Buy' or
'Sell' depending on whether you believe the final
results will be LOWER or HIGHER than the price
If you think the final results will be LOWER than
the price you SELL the line; if you think the
final results will be HIGHER than the price you
BUY the line
Example 1
Time of 1st Goal in the match between Arsenal and
Manchester United;
You think the 1st Goal in the match will be LOWER than
41.5 minute. You must then SELL:
SELL 41.5 - Stake �100
If the 1st score in the match comes before the 41.5
minute, you will receive �200 (including your stake),
and your profit will be �100. Otherwise, the 1st score
comes after the 41.5 minute in the match and you lose
your stake, �100
You think the 1st Goal in the match will be HIGHER than
44.5 minute
Buy 44.5 - Stake �100
If your stake is �100 and the 1st score in the match
came after the 44.5 minute in the match, you will
receive �200 (including your stake), and your profit
will be �100. Otherwise, the 1st score came before the
44.5 minute and you lose your stake, �100.
Example 2
Predict how many leagues points Manchester United will
finish the season on. You think Manchester United will
get LESS than 83.5 points, SELL 83.5
Sell 83.5 - Stake �100
If Manchester United points < 83.5 you will receive �200
(including your stake). Your profit is �100. If
Manchester United points > 83.5 you lose your stake �100
If you think Manchester United will get MORE than 85.5
points:
Buy 85.5 - Stake �100
If Manchester United points > 85.5 you will receive �200
(including your stake). Your profit is �100. If
Manchester United points < 85.5 you lose your stake
�100.
