I have a question about handicap betting:
What is the difference between a backing Stoke +2 (on the Betfair exchange) and Stoke +1.5 (Bet365)? The odds for both are the same (after factoring in the betfair commission). As I understand, the Betfair exchange offers better value here?
In both: Stoke win or draw, the bet wins
In both: City win by 1, the bet wins
At Bet365, City win by 2, the bet loses.
At BetFair Exchange, City win by 2, the stake is refunded (?)
In both: City win by 3 or more, the bet loses.
Is that right? Bet365 also offer Stoke +2, but at much worse odds than the Betfair exchange. Thanks!
