Why is the points spread at the bookies totally f**ked. Been looking over all the different things that you can bet on and the in game spread is screwed up . When you look at real betting sites they don't even come close to what your seeing in Torn. Spreads like 1.25 to 15.00 show in Torn . When you look at the real spreadsheet of on line bookies the speed is opposite. In Torn the team with the 15.00 hasn't won in the past 5 games. But the lower 1.25 has had a winning streak and has been crushing it. So can you fix this to actually match or even come close to what we can see in Real time. . If your just wanting us to bet 3 to 5 times the amount to win crap pay out. Just don't use the sports in real life . Just make it up. Hire someone that knows what the real spreads of games are and don't make up bogus Spreads.  Or just say if you want to win crap money bet on the lowest numbers in the spead and you will have a 98% chance to win . If you want a big win you'll have to be 50 to 200 million on these fake made up non matching spreads . Do better.

I might be misunderstanding what you mean here, so feel free to correct me, but I had a quick look at the Fenerbache game because I was curious about the spreads being mentioned.

 

Comparing Torn's odds vs real bookies:

 

So in this case Torn actually seems pretty close - even slightly better value depending on the market you compare.(Partizan has a +0.4 difference on torn, it's only 4.5 in real bookies)

 

The higher odds (like 15.00) exist because they're pricing in risk rather than recent performance. A team being on a losing streak will usually increase odds because the bookies see them as less likely to win - so the payout has to be higher to attract bets.

 

That said, I do agree the sports betting side probably needs some developer love overall - especially transparency around how spreads are generated.
