Apologies in advance because this has probably been answered over and over again and I still consider myself an entry level football bettor with only 2-3 years under my belt but what's the rationale behind odds that are similar to this?
Team A: -0.5 goals (-120)
Team A: 3 way ML: +100
To me, it just doesn't make sense. "Logically" you would just take the odds that are better. In the event of a tie during regulation for the 3 WAY ML bet, you still lose BOTH bets. Are odds like this an indicator of a game being a tie?
-Rationally, I would think that similar odds to those above would logically be priced at the SAME PRICE.
Team A: -0.5 goals (-120)
Team A: 3 way ML: -120
-If there were ANY deviation, no matter how small, 1/2 points of juice, you would take the one with less juice.
"Schrödinger's bet." A bet that loses when you bet it but wins when you DON'T bet it...

Don’t over think it, you’re correct. Just take the option with the lowest juice. I can’t speak as to why this occurs, but it happens fairly often. Albeit not with the disparity of -120 and +100. You don’t see that super often at the same book.
Regardless, you are correct. Hope this helped
