Thats the point about betting for value............... ..

say a team is down 3-0 at the half.

How often will they come back to win?

100/1 may seem attractive but what if we looked at the database of all football games in this situation and say only 3 teams out of 753 games came back to win.

Obviously "laying" the 1 to 100 and being the bookie
is the correct way to play.
Not betting 100 to 1.
