Damn -170 is the best I could get at a book that has a ton of my money
yea, i'm a soccer newbie... just follow Dennis and a few others, i dont follow the sport at all. I use Fanduel (primarily) and they only have Over/Under 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 etc... they dont offer "2.5, 3" that might offer push protection if it lands on 3. and as you said, over 2.5 is -170 or -180... and 3.5 is nice +money, but obviously you need to get to 4 to win.
in these cases i usually parlay BTTS w/ the Over, especially if BTTS-yes is heavily juiced (telling me that they expect both to score). not perfect, but it's one way to get rid of that extra vig.
