Game: Pacers vs Pistons

Casino/Sportsbook: http://www.5dimes.eu

Bet Area: Go to Sportsbook > Pre-Match Betting Plus > Basketball > Detroit Pistons/Indian Pacers > Scroll down to Game Winner + Total ... (188.5)

Bet 'Selections': "Pacers and Over" @ $3.33 (+233) and Pistons and Over $4.13 (+313)

'Equivalent' Total (by betting both teams on the OVER): 188.5

Current Total (used for comparison): 194

Extra Points in the Player's Favor: 5.5 points

Combined Price: ~ $1.84355... (about -118.55)

Rated Price^^^: -162 (Even though the current 'extra points' are 5.5 i decided to use 5 points as my figure for 'Player Edge' calculation purposes)

Player Edge*** of the 'combined Bets': slightly less than +14%

Rated Price^^^: I decided to use 5 points since the figures in the website below are for the 1987 to 2006 NBA Seasons (about 8 years old but should still be relevant...)

Edge***: Derived from figures in link Below (see "Buying/Selling Extra Points on the Total") and Combined Price above

https://wizardofodds.com/games/sports-betting/nba/

NB: I have no personal opinion of the game or the total, but will be betting on the total over 188.5 because of the above reasoning,

Also Note: Prices and Totals etc are subject to change, these figures were correct as of today @ ~ 1310 (PST)

(Decided to put this section in as a reply)

Terms and conditions (see link below):

http://www.5dimes.eu/images/5Dimes-PreMatch-Betting-Rules.pdf

All the terms and conditions seem pretty standard to me, except I have never seen this one before (see below) and would prefer not to ask the casino at this time (though I may have to ask them using a 'dummy' name/email address etc, but would prefer to find out the opinions on this forum first)

The rule below is on page 3 under "GENERAL SETTLEMENT AND CANCELLATION RULES"

"'''''''''''''''''
• In the case of any obviously incorrectly displayed
or calculated prices, we reserve the right to void
betting. This includes a deviation of more than
100% in the pay-out compared to the market
average.
'''''''''''''''''

Do you think this rule means(see example 1 & 2):

Example 1: that they can 'void' the bet, if the Price is $4.00 (+300) or higher on their site and $2.00 (+100) is 'the market average',

or

Example 2: that they can 'void' the bet, if the Price is $3.00 (+200) or higher on their site and $2.00 (+100) is 'the market average',


I am going to 'er on the side of caution' and assume that example '2.' is what they mean by the above term, for the moment
