3 Way Bet

Posted on  by admin

Historically, 3 way lines have primarily been only the concern of the soccer bettor. However, with the proliferation of online sportsbooks and the sheer number of bets that bettors have at their fingertips, these types of bets are becoming more commonplace in other sports. The purpose of this calculator is to help bettors understand the probabilities and vig associated with this type of bet.

What Are 3 Way Odds

3 way odds give the bettor the option to bet on either team in a particular game but also give them a separate option to bet that the game will end in a tie. For this reason, these bets are primarily found in sports where ties are fairly common such as soccer.

However, they can also be found in other sports such as hockey in which OT is fairly common. In these cases, the “tie” option means that the score is tied at the end of regulation and the bet is settled regardless of any overtime or shootout results.

In such cases, this may be referred to as a 60 minute or regulation time bet. The most important thing to realize about a 3 way line is that a bet on either team will lose if the result is a tie instead of pushing like in a 2 way line.

What Is The Vig or Juice

In sports betting, the vig or juice is how the difference between the payout that is offered and what the payout “should” be based strictly on the probability.

In 2 way bets, the vig is fairly easy to see. For example, in a bet where both outcomes are considered equally likely, the odds are typically -110. This means that the bettor has to wager $110 to win $100. If you think of the game as a coin flip where you win $100 every time the coin lands on heads and you lose $110 every time the coin lands on tails, you can see that you will lose money in the long run as long as the coin is fair. In this case, the fair odds should be +100 meaning that you would still win $100 for each head but only lose $100 for each tails. The difference between losing $100 and $110 is the vig or the juice and it guarantees that the sportsbooks will make money as long as there are a roughly even number of bettors on each side.

3-way bets are all those sports wagers that have three possible outcomes. This means, you have three options for your wagers. If a sporting event can end, in addition to a win and a loss, with a tie, you do indeed have three possible results that might occur. NHL 3 way is settled without overtime (60 minutes of play) for the main quote (Away/Home/Draw/Total). This option does NOT include overtime or a shootout.

A 3-bet as most players use the term means the act of putting in the third bet, technically the second “raise”, the “3-bet” during any given round of action. It’s only in recent years that the term has become popular, indicative of its use during online play.

3 way results do not push if it goes to overtime because there are 3 different results you can bet on. HOME WIN - TIE - AWAY WIN. The prizes awarded for 3-Way Box bets are greater than those of 6-Way Box bets, as the odds of matching the correct numbers are higher. For wheel bets, you place a $0.50 or $1.00 stake on every combination of your three chosen numbers. A Wheel bet is considered a 3-Way or 6-Way bet depending on how many combinations of your chosen.

With 3 way odds, the vig can be a little bit harder to see. That is where this 3 way odds calculator can come in handy.

What Is A 3 Way Fair Odds Calculator

A 3 way fair odds calculator takes the odds on each of the three possible outcomes and uses them to determine the implied probability of each outcome. It will also show what the odds would be if the bet had no vig attached.

This can help sharp bettors identify potentially profitable opportunities. If they have reason to believe that a particular outcome is more likely to occur than the true probability implied by the odds, then they may have found a good bet. By comparing the actual odds offered to the no vig odds, they can see how much vig they are paying and make an informed decision on whether to make that bet.

How To Use A 3 Way Fair Odds Calculator

To use a 3 Way Fair Odds Calculator, simply enter the odds for each of the options in the “American Odds” fields and click calculate. The calculator will calculate the True Probability and No-Vig Odds for each of the 3 outcomes. For example, If Liverpool is +112, Leicester City is +245 and Tie is +250, our calculator would give us the following results:

InputOutputs
American OddsTrue ProbabilityNo Vig Odds
Liverpool+11245.04%+122.02
Leicester+24527.68%+261.31
Tie+25027.28+266.64

We can compare the “True Probabilities” from the calculator to our perceived probabilities to determine if we feel like any of these outcomes are worth betting.

FAQs – 3 Way No Vig Calculator

3 Way odds are very common in soccer betting. They are also fairly common for regulation time bets in hockey. They can also be found in sports like basketball for either half or full games although since ties are much less likely in higher scoring sports, they are much less popular.

When you are new to 3 way betting, the odds can be very confusing at first. It is fairly common for all 3 outcomes to offer positive odds which is never the case in 2 way betting. For that reason, the underlying probabilities may not be intuitive at first and the calculator can help to close that gap.

Not exactly. A 3 way odds calculator will tell you the implied probability of a bet for the given odds. It is up to you to determine what you think that the actual probability of each outcome is and compare them to the calculated results to make informed gambling decisions.

What is three-way sure bets (3 - legs)?

For three-way sure bets (3-way cross market) the situation is a little more difficult than the two-way sure bets. It replaces a home team victory or a visiting team victory by 1, 2, or X. This means that if you bet in bookmaker A for a home victory, you will need to cover it by placing a bet on bookmaker B with visitor victory and also to place a bet on bookmaker C for Draw. Sometimes bookmaker B could be the same as bookmaker A or C.

Three-way sure bets /Example 1/

Liverpool(1)1.50100.00€Bookmaker A
Draw(X)6.0025.00€Bookmaker B
Real Madrid(2)8.1018.52€Bookmaker C
Let’s calculate:

1) If Liverpool win 1.5*100 = 150€;
150.00 – 100.00 – 25.00 – 18.51 = 6.49€ profit.

2) If Real Madrid win 8.1*18.52 = 150,01€;
150.00 – 100.00 – 25.00 – 18.51 = 6.52€ profit.

3) If it is Draw 6*25 = 150€
150.00 – 100.00 – 25.00 – 18.51 = 6.49€ profit.

At the end, you will still win 6,5€.

Three-way sure bets /Example 2/

Liverpool(AH1,+0)3.00100.00€Bookmaker A
Draw(X)3.8152.50€Bookmaker B
Real Madrid(2)4.5066.66€Bookmaker C
Let’s calculate:

3-way Betta Tank

1) If Liverpool win 3*100 = 300€;
300.00 – 100.00 – 52.50 – 66.66 = 80.84€ profit.

3 Way Bet

2) If Real Madrid win 4.5*66.66=299.97€
299.97 – 100.00 – 52.50 – 66.66 = 80.81€ profit.

3) If it is Draw 3.81*52.5 = 200.03€.
200.03 – 52.50 – 66.66 = 80.87€ profit.

Here we are not calculating 100€ as an expense because AH1,+0 means a home team to win and if the match is draw the whole bet will be void and you will get back your 100€ stakes.

At the end, you will still win 80,85€.

3-way Bet

There are thousands of combinations and these 2 examples are only a drop in the rain. For the beginners, we suggest choosing arbs with 2-ways (2-legs).

What is 4-way sure bets (4 - legs)?

It is the same as 3-ways with the only difference that you will have to bet on four events. All the rest is the same methodology and the disadvantage of four ways is that you will place four bets for the same time you have for two and three ways. It is not being used often by the arbitrage players but anyway it is still an opportunity to win money and OddStormprovides it for those of you who think could handle it on time.
