Is there a huge discrepancy in the odds between WWTS & 365 for the USA mens Basketball game today?

B365

Now I did call 365... & I was informed that their odds is for 60 minutes only. If USA wins by exactly 19 points then it would be considered a TIE & bets on USA would lose not push, they would LOSE. Still if they win by 19.5 or more in regulation they win....

Of course this sets up a situation where if they win by 20, or 21 you could win both sides & if they win by 22 you win one side & push the other...

Am I seeing this wrong?

Bet 365 is essentially using 19.5 as the number, with a new wrinkle borrowed from soccer with the +900 tie option. I could be wrong but the odds of the game falling 19 are a good deal higher than 9 to 1. I hope this practice does not become widespread because it has to give the book a higher win probability. Laying the 19 and taking 22 leaves 20 and 21 open to middles but only 22 open to a side.

seems correct wil,

not the best play in the world as you do have to lay -115 on both sides (-19.5 -115) & (+22 -115).

However still a profitable one over the long haul I beleive.

Seems like the folks at WWTS are trying to exploit their largely USA customer base.

Unfortunately I have no funds at 365 at the moment but at these odds I will make a play at WWTS with + 22 -115 for 1 Unit.... Seems like alot of value there.
