Lots of books do it for online bettors. Give it a year or two and I think -107 will be quite common and -105 on NFL sides will be prevalent too. If anything can support a dime line its NFL sides, not MLB sides.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Aint that the truth but books love dealing pointspread at a 20 cent straddle. The you have MLB which is the easiest sport to beat and they deal 10 cent straddles. Makes absolutely no sense!

I agree with JJGold...I am not picking on any one Sportsbook but its clear that many of the so called "top sportsbooks" are price gouging us with excessive juice.
No reason to do this in NFL, its simply pure greed to make as much as possible during the 17 weeks plus P/O...so now they can deal you a 20 cent baseball line... "Hey you don't like it go play somewhere else pal" attitude.

I agree it does not concur with your "gambling terms dictionary" that you got sitting by your computer but some locals that deal only with cash up front refer to juice as HOLDING on to the juice in case of a loss.
Example: Bookie says I need $100 for the bet and $10 for the juice that needs to be HELD on to in case of a loss.
Me and my partners just got use to calling the juice HOLD MONEY because we know we will get it back if we win.
I agree this could throw a newbie off...my bad.
Doc.. Trust Me I do know what I am talking about so know lets see if you can explain to the class the correct definition of the word "HOLD".

Wrong again, genius.
I've only been playing offshore for two years. Fill in the blanks.
The hold on -110 each way is 4.55% or 10/220. My lot in life is not to sit here and explain simple mathematics to you or anyone else. If your that interested you'll pick up a book and learn for yourself. Good luck.

No need to reply and waste anymore of your valuable time
