They’re like 12/5 - half tempted to put some on!
Rochdale 25/1 (-2 handicap), -3 100/1 and -4 250/1
With our current defence those odds look a better investment than a cash ISA.
Having a look at sky bet at the handicap bit.
What the heck is a handicap draw (-3). I assume its either side -3 goals results in a draw then it's a win (just not both sides at the same time? I got mansfield -3 means we need to win by 4 clear goals and Rochdale +3 means Rochdale gets 3 extra goals and and if this +3 give Rochdale the win then the bet wins (its 1/40 so easily won most of the time.
Just wondered what the draw bit meant.
If you back Rochdale -3 then essentially the match starts at Mansfield 3-0 Rochdale. So you'll need Rochdale to win by at least 4 goals. If you back the draw at -3 then you're betting on Rochdale to win by exactly 3 goals.
