I never understood the theorectical hold on a 3 way soccer line. I understand a 3-ball golf line (I think). In golf if 3 guys were equal and there was not any % hold, everyone would be 2-1, so it makes sense to me that when you add up the total odds for all 3 guys they are usually somewhere between 5.20 to 5.50 -1 instead of 6-1. In soccer in may cases if you add up the 3 totals and it is way more than 6-1. I know the % in in there but I don't understand it. Also I don't understand why the line is different on a favorite to win in a 3 way match in regulation time and the 1/2 goal favorite. Is this just a test to see if somebody will play the worst line, like hoping somebody will play the Big 6 or 8 in a craps game? Anybody?

I googled this question and came across an article about soccer betting. It did talk a little about hold % and gave these examples on 3 way lines. At Betfair, favorite -500 draw +660 underdog +1800 theoretical hold 1.72%, Bet365 favorite -500 draw +400 underdog +1000 theoretical hold 11.05%. Anybody know how you calculate to get these theoretical hold odds?
