Mythical Matches: Fantasies Get Real

FANTASY MATCHES. NEW ODDS. NEW BETTING OPPORTUNITIES.

We’ve added new football betting odds at Betway.com. We call them Mythical Matches. Why and What are they? Read on…

Mythical Matches are fantasy match-ups comprised of teams competing in real games on the same day – and the outcome of the real games determines the outcome of the Mythical Matches.

What is a Mythical Match?

Teams from several same day Real Matches are switched around to face off against other teams in Mythical Matches (M).

Based on goals scored in their respective Real Matches, this determines who would win in a hypothetical Mythical Match (M) scenario.

New Mythical Matches are added daily to the Football Odds section on Betway.com

Mythical Match Examples

See how the results of 4 Mythical Matches (M) are decided from the following 2 real matches. In this example lets take two typical league games:
Man United vs. Man City | Real Madrid vs. Barcelona

Real Match #1: Man United 3 – 1 Man City
Real Match #2: Real Madrid 1 – 2 Barcelona
Based on these real results, we create the following 4 ‘Mythical Matches’ (M).

Mythical Match #1: Man United (M) 3 – 1 Real Madrid (M)
Man United win this mythical match scoring more than Real Madrid

Mythical Match #2: Man United (M) 3 – 2 Barcelona (M)
Man United win this mythical match scoring more than Barcelona

Mythical Match #3: Man City (M) 1 – 2 Barcelona (M)
Barcelona win this mythical match scoring more than Man City in their real match

Mythical Match #4: Man City (M) 1 – 1 Real Madrid (M)
This mythical match would be settled as a draw since Man City and Real Madrid scored equal goals in their real matches
