2.5/3.0 means ur bet is split into 2 bets, so just say u put £10 on the overs goal line and the goal line was 2.5/3.0 what this means is £5 will be on the overs 2.5 and £5 will be over 3.0
this means u would need 4 goals in the game to win both bets, altho if there is only 3 goals, then ur £5 on the overs 2.5 would win (because 3 goals is over 2.5) and ur £5 on overs 3.0 would be refunded
so just say the odds on the overs 2.5/3.0 goal line was 2.00 (evens) 4 goals in the game would return u £20.00, but if there is only 3 goals ur return would be £15.00 (£5 at even money returns £10.00 plus ur £5 refunded on the overs 3.0)
if a game finishes on the goal line then all stakes are refunded, for example if the goal line is 3.0 and it finishes with 3 goals then ull be refunded because it wasnt over or under, its the same if the goal line is 2.0
a good goaline to look out of for is 2.0/2.5 if u think the game will be overs, just say u put £10 on the overs goal line @ 2.00 (even money) and it has 3 or more ull get £20.00 returns, but if the game manages to only get 2 goals ull only lose half ur money rather than it all, because £5 is on over 2.0 and £5 is on over 2.5, so ull only lose the £5 bet on the over 2.5 and the over 2.0 will be refunded
its a different scenario tho if u think it will be unders and the goal line is 2.0/2.5 because if it finishes with 2 goals then ur only going to win on the under 2.5 bet
betting on the 2.0/2.5 should only be done if u think the game will be over 2.5 goals, that way ur giving urself insurance of keeping half ur stake should things go wrong
2.5/3.0 goal lines are the bookies way of conning u out of money, they dont want to pay u full whack if there is 3 goals, they want u to have to hit 4 goals
as a general rule is only use the over/under 2.5 goals or the over 2.0/2.5
ladbrokes have now priced up all the games, go and have a look and see if u can make sense of it all
stan james and bet365 also do this bet
