Re: Trading Draws The United match was a good example as to why one would want equally matched teams.

How can this be breakeven, when you lay @ 3.25 and back @ 4.00 ? :unsure

That's what I was wondering, but it appears as though Tom put all the profit on the 'not draw' final result: Lay 3.25 for 44.44 Back 4.00 with 33.00 Gives profit of 11.44 or loss of -0.99 dependant on 'not draw' or 'draw' Also, in the Villareal match, given those odds and stakes I would make it a loss of 30pts not 36pts. :unsure
