    I noticed a market on Betfair for the Ireland v Russia match tomorrow called "Tri Bet" which I don't fully understand. See below:

    Backing the last 2 options seems too good to be true - "Either Team Under 7.5pts" at 9/1 & "Russia Over 7.5pts" at 21/1. I thought on first glance that if I backed both of these, then if Russia scored less than 7.5pts I would win on the 9/1 market OR if they score more than 7.5pts I would win at 21/1...

    But I must be missing something...

    Can anyone explain how this market works?

    you are betting on the team you think you will win PLUS the winning margin.

    So here, it was:

    Ireland to win by more than 7.5 pts
    Either team to win by less than 7.5 pts
    Russia to win by more than 7.5 pts

    Ah that makes sense now, I hadn't realised the 7.5pts was a margin (I thought it might have been an absolute score, eg. Ireland to get over 7.5pts etc..). Thanks for the explanation
