While we wait, here's a quick explainer on the PLL betting lines that are on @DKSportsbook.
Here are the betting lines for the games tonight.
The Handicap: Redwoods -1.5 (+110); Chaos +1.5 (-134)
The Handicap: Redwoods -1.5 (+110); Chaos +1.5 (-134)
If you take the Redwoods, you are betting that they will win by two scores or more (because you are taking them -1.5). The +110 is called “the juice” and it means for every dollar you bet, you return 1.10 times your money.
Alternatively, if you take the Chaos, you are betting that they will not lose by two goals or more (they have a 1 and a half point buffer). Based on the handicappers odds, the juice for this bet is -134.
Remember, when betting +110 you received 1.10 times your money. With a negative juice, it has the inverse effect, meaning, you have to put up 1.34 to return 1.
Example, a $10 dollar bet would return $7.46 (10*1/1.34).
