good bet?

Soccer
Lille to win +100 1u
Lille to tie +220 1u

They should not lose at home. Is this a good bet?

If they shouldn't lose, why are they getting odds?

+100 to win in soccer is not "getting" odds.

However, this bet smells bad. He is laying 4.3 to 1 that they Lille will not lose.

I don't know much about soccer, but I'm guessing their opponent has far lower than +430 odds to win.

You are right it was +100 +220 and +275 that they would lose. I guess I got lucky because they tied. So it worked out, but from what you are saying it wasn't a good bet in the long run. Thanks.

They don't have to lose at home very often for you to lose money on this bet, because you're risking a lot for a small return.

Thanks. That makes sense.
