Win/Draw/Win in mythical matches

For the Win/Draw/Win (W/D/W) market in mythical matches; the winner will be the team that scores the most amount of goals in that teams real match the same day.

Example with results:
Real match 1: Manchester United 3 – 1 Manchester City
Real match 2: Real Madrid 1 – 2 Barcelona

Based on these two real matches ending 3-1, and 1-2, we could have offered the following mythical matches:

Mythical match 1: Manchester United (M) 3 – 1 Real Madrid (M)
Manchester United would have won this mythical match since they scored more goals then Real Madrid

Mythical match 2: Manchester United (M) 3 – 2 Barcelona (M)
Manchester United would have won this match as well since they score more goals then Barcelona

Mythical match 3: Manchester City (M) 1 – 2 Barcelona (M)
Barcelona would have won this mythical match since they scored more goals then Manchester City

Mythical match 4: Manchester City (M) 1 – 1 Real Madrid (M)
This mythical match would have been settled as a draw since Manchester City and Real Madrid scored equal amount of goals in their real / actual matches

(M)
The (M) sign after a team will mean that this team is selected from a mythical match.

Asian Line betting (Asian Handicap)

Asian Line betting is the most popular way of betting on football in the Far East. It offers great value to the bettor and is potentially less risky than traditional “Win-Draw-Win” style betting. You must either select the favoured team to overcome a handicap (framed in goals) or oppose the favourite with the handicap. Take time to understand Asian Line betting from Betway.com.

An Asian line is made up of two components, the Handicap Line and the Money Line.

The Handicap Line

The Handicap Line is the terms of the bet – framed around the relative strengths of the two competing sides – always expressed in terms of goal superiority. For two equally matched teams – i.e. joint favourites to win – the line will be described as ‘level’. To win on the basis of this handicap, you must simply pick the team that scores the most goals. If the match is a draw, the stakes are returned to you.

For unequal contests, the superior team will be given a handicap (goals). In Asian betting, goal handicaps are known as ‘balls’.

Goal/No Goal

For the Goal/No Goal Market, “Goal” is for both teams to score, “No Goal” is for either or both teams not to score.

Bookings

This bet involves choosing whether the overall booking points in the match are under, between or over a specific middle band. Points are allocated as follows: 10 points are awarded for a yellow card, 25 points are awarded for a red card. The highest make-up for any player is 35 points in the match (2 yellows and therefore a red). The bookings of players not taking part in the game and bookings of managing staff do not count for the purposes of this bet. Any bookings/sending off after the final whistle do not count for betting purposes.

Shirt Numbers

This bet involves choosing whether the total shirt numbers of goalscorers in the match are under, between or over a specific middle band. Own goals count. In the event of an unclear goalscorer, settlement will be based upon the confirmed result of the Press Association directly following the end of the match. This market counts for 90 mins (plus injury time) only

Total Goal Minutes

Aggregate goals Minutes. Any goal scored in injury time in the first half will be counted as 45 minutes and any goal scored in injury time in the second half will be counted as 90.
Example: The market adds the time of each goal scored in a game. For example, Liverpool (2) – Arsenal (1) assuming goals were scored in the 21’, 65’ and 83’ the make-up of the total goal minutes will total 169 minutes this is then compared to the quoted spread of total goal minutes.
