WHAT ARE THREE-WAY LINES?
A three-way line lets you bet on three outcomes instead of two: Team A wins, Team B wins, or the game ends in a tie. It’s the standard market in soccer and a popular one in hockey, and it grades on regulation time only.
HOME • DRAW • AWAY
3 WAYS TO BET
Pick the home side, the visitor or the draw. Regulation time decides all three.
01
TEAM A
Home side wins in regulation.
02
TEAM B
Visitor wins in regulation.
03
THE DRAW
Level when the clock hits 0.
THE TIE IS A LIVE OUTCOME
A two-way moneyline gives you two choices and settles on overtime. A three-way line adds the tie as its own bet. Your team must beat two outcomes, so each side pays more.
REGULATION TIME ONLY
Rangers at Flyers: Rangers +210, Flyers +110, Tie +290. You bet $100 on the Rangers. If New York leads after 60 minutes you win $210. If it’s 2-2 after three periods you lose, even if the Rangers score in OT. The tie cashed at +290.
An OT win still loses your three-way team bet.

WIN IN 60 MIN • $210
TIE +290
LEVEL AT 60 • $290
OT AND SHOOTOUTS DON’T COUNT
WHY THE ODDS ARE BIGGER
A -130 two-way favorite jumps to +110 three-way. One in four NHL games hits OT, a loss for both team bets.

THE DRAW BY MATCHUP
About one in four soccer matches ends level. The tighter the teams, the shorter the draw: +190 for two defensive sides, +280 when a clear favorite is at home.
TIGHT +190
+220
CHALK +280
TWO-WAY VS THREE-WAY
Two-way: slight favorite -130, dog +110. Split the same game three ways and it’s favorite +110, dog +210, tie +290. Bigger payout, one more way to lose.

WRAPPING IT UP
Three-way lines give you three outcomes, better odds and a legitimate way to bet on a tie. The cost: overtime doesn’t save you. Know the regulation rule, respect how often games end level, and use the extra outcome rather than get caught by it.
RESPECT THE DRAW
FIVE RULES BEFORE YOU BET
Three-way lines reward bettors who price the tie honestly. About one in four NHL and soccer games ends level in regulation. These five rules keep that number in front of you.
01
REGULATION ONLY
OT and shootouts don’t count. Grade at 60 or 90.
02
PRICE THE TIE
One in four games ends level. Factor it in.
03
COMPARE TWO-WAY
Small extra payout? The two-way may be better.
04
TIGHT GAME? DRAW
Even, low-scoring matchups earn the draw’s price.
05
DON’T CHASE OT
Losing on an OT win is the rule, not bad luck.
