Baseball error

Sat May 02, 2015 4:52 am

Hi all,

Firstly, thank you for creating this community, much appreciated! Since the football (soccer) season is soon coming to an end I have been looking at other sports, baseball in particular.
Last night I noticed that BetOnValue were showing an arb of 1.82% for Baltimore O. vs Tampa  BD Rays between bet365 and Williamhill Australia. When I clicked on the BetonValue links for the allocated odds this is what was given to me on the bookmaker's bet slips.

Bet365:  BAL Orioles +2.0 TB Rays(A Colome) vs BAL Orioles(C Tillman)
(Alternative 3-Way Run Line)  ODDS:1.60

WilliamHill: -1.5 (Handicap Betting) Baltimore Orioles (C TILLMAN) Tampa Bay Rays (A COLOME) @ Baltimore Orioles (C TILLMAN) ODDS: 2.80

Today the game resulted in a 2-0 win for TB Rays and I honestly can't see how the BetOnValue arb would have actually been profitable at all. What puzzles me is why both handicaps were for Baltimore...

Am I missing something here? I apologize if it is really obvious and my questions sounds stupid.

Thanks in advance :)
