Are we all using same lines or no?

cuz right now see airzona +132 or is it going to be line when we put in ?

airzona +132
Cubs -132
yankees -114

Ok, so that's something I didn't talk about. Lines change, obviously, so whatever the line is when you post it. We will use the honor system to post the current line when you post.

SFO/Ari Over 8.5 -115

 

[Michelangelo]

Bourn,

I don't often play BB totals and I've never played at 5Dimes.

Can you clarify what their posted totals mean.

For instance, St L is currently listed at -130 O. I assume that means it's -130 to win 100 if you bet the Over. But what is the return if you bet the Under off that line? Or is the Under line posted and I'm just missing it somewhere?

Thanks

St. Louis under 7 is +110

The under line is posted.

Click on Free Odds top of Forum and look under 5 dimes. To find the RL click on ML/RL and then it displays it.

 

[Michelangelo]

That's my question, where?

per your instructions, I click on "free odds" at the top of this page. That brings me to a "Sports Options" page that shows a 5Dimes column (amongst other books).

In that column (we'll use the Cub/StL game I asked about above) I see "-120/+110" and directly under that in the same box "7o -125". That's it.

Again, where is the Under line posted?

 

[Michelangelo]

When I click on "ML/RL" I only get run lines quoted.

Im not seeing the under either.

Can someone one else say if Free Odds has Over and under lines?

 

[Bourn]

Yeah, you click on ML/RL to bring up RL Odds.

 

[Bourn]

When I click on "ML/RL" I only get run lines quoted.

The ML is under 5dimes column.

if you click on the game box in the 5Dime colume it opens a new pop up window with the odds and time they changed

yes click on the game you want to see in the 5dime column

http://www.therx.com/lines/line_history.php?host=TheRX&book=14&game=901&period=0&date=2017-04-02

it will also tell you if the line was right at time of post as all line changes have the time stamp when it changed

 

[Michelangelo]

That's it, slapshot. And this way we can also see who's fudging lines at the time of their post. I'd also like to see a big penalty for anyone doing that. Like being docked .50 or something.
