Hollywood -107??? Why not preseason?

[Gagne38]

Just curious why Hollywood claims to offer -107 on NFL, but they have -110 on the preseason.

Good question, I do know a lot of books use 20 cents lines only for preseason baseball.

It's -107 for me. Are you looking at the guest lines? If you have an account, once you log in, you should see -107, assuming your account is set that way.

 

[Gagne38]

Yes, I logged into the guest account. Picasso, can you tell me what a 2 team parlay pays with 2 teams at -107? Thanks.

 

[Gagne38]

That is 2 NFL teams. For example, can you plug in the first preseason game with the side and total and tell me what it pays? Thanks again.

2 teamer at -107 each pays 274 for 100. Not sure if Hollywood is taking parlays at -107 though.

That is what I am wondering. I sent them an email and got no response.

As Wil said, it should pay 274. But Hollywood somehow calculates it to be 269.63. Not sure how they arrive at this amount. I know for straight bets, Hollywood used to (and may still) round down to the nearest whole number. For example, a payout of $190.99 would actually be $190. For the parlay case, perhaps round off in an intermediate calculation is behind the peculiar result.

Since a -107, -110 parlay would come to 269 and change, I wonder if Hollywood treats a parlay as the first game being -107 with the rest being -110. The submit screen shows both at -107, but I suspect there's an unreported modification going on internally.

They do not pay parlays at 107.You should be to lay 107 on the pre-season.
