Our system...
Liverpool (8/15) versus Blackburn (9/2) = Blackburn are 9/2 underdog
Simple, I understand that.

And people like me, and many other Europeans, still don't get your betting system?!?!?

Well, youve never been able to bet $100 to win $100. Unless they adjust the odds for the game.
Normally you have to risk $110 to win $100. If you could bet $100 on Car and some other guy bet $100 on Det....the bookie would get nothing.
If you both have to risk $110 to win $100, then the bookie wins $10 no matter what happens which is how they make their money.
The money line is used for when you want to bet on a team with no point spread. If the line was Carolina +6 but you were willing to take Caroline with no points (moneyline), you could risk $100 to win somewhere around $160 (depending on what the money line is).
I just checked the line at Bodog and its EVEN. You can get Carolina but with no points. You would have to risk $110 to win $100. If you click the Bodog banner at the top of the screen, you can get set up there and help BTP out a bit. Or if this is a 1 time bet for you, I could place the bet for you if you want to transfer me the money.

"I've known expensive telephone services that provided an exclusive Lock of the Year, or Play of the Decade, or whatever. What the handicapper was doing was giving half his clients one team, half of them the other. Next week he'd concentrate on the winning half and do the same thing. When he had a group that had had, say, three straight winners, he'd up the ante. When he was out of winning clients he'd move on to a new group of suckers."
