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)
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

Great question! Any guesses Axel, Mike, or Zuga?
