I'll take your action. I can escrow or we can find a 3rd party. I have successful transfers for thousands and have done fairly decent size props on 2p2. $400>

Prefer $25. Send me PM we can work out details.

Ike line without juice built in is about -106

So you win I pay 63.60. I win you pay 60. neither of us pays juice.

Let me know or if anyone with history on the site wants to book.

can anyone tell me the best way to understand how this +$108, -$108 works? I always learn and 2 weeks later I forget.

American odds are also known as lines or money line odds. If US Odds are indicated with a + sign then they show the amount you would win for a 100 stake. If there is a - sign then they show how much you need to stake to win 100.

Quote:

So if you are betting on an event which has decimal odds of 5, or fractional odds of 4/1, the US Odds would be +400. If you are betting at decimal odds of 1.5, or fractional odds of ½, then the US odds would be -200US odds can be divided into positive odds and negative odds.

Negative US odds show how big a stake is needed for a winning of 100 units. Positive odds show how big your winnings are if you bet 100 units.

In your example:
+$108 = You bet $100 to win $108
-$108 = You bet $108 to win $100

Matchbook has a betting market for this under the 'current events' section. Current odds offered have Isil at +110 or Ike at -112 with action of $10k+ available on each. That is a really close spread, equivalent to 47.6% winning chance for Isil and 52.8% for Ike. I can't imagine finding a tighter betting spread at another book.

Hey I am from USA and looking to bet on this. What are the options? I see matchbook failed. Merge network is an option for me I guess or are there other betting sites out there? Anyone looking to bet for Ike? I am looking to bet for Viktor even odds. The slight % dif doesn't really matter...just looking to place a late bet. Looking to bet like $100 or so
