Sure seems that way to me. I'm not talking about some odd juice free game, but on a regular basis.

A few years ago there was a big screen book named ASAP. They would deal -02 and -03 all the time, plus would move their #s more than anyone. One Saturday, by mistake, I middled them on 4 games. They closed shop about a week later.

Bigjuicyodds tried to deal -102, maybe -103, and bailout players...they failed.

-105 seems to be the max on low juice, IMO, barring an exchange model.

The last book that made a run at lower than -105 was BigJuicyodds (-103)and we all know what happen to them. Charlie should have known better than to give those types of bonuses to a bunch of punters upon being asked.

To be honest I think -105 or -104 is the absolute limit - especially with the way things are with the exchanges now where it is so very easy to find 5 cents of value either way.

at -102 for instance, it would be far too easy for a book to get scalped either way and end up with an all red book - especialy if they are moving their lines constantly in reaction to bets one way or the other...

Let's just hope that more books get with the times & begin using reduced juice..........

No room for any book that doesn't go -105...unless you open the line (CRIS,Greek), have high limits (CRIS,Greek), or give credit.

Only so many -105's can exist as well. No need for a late line -110 shop with dime limits.

Way too many books out there.

The pie is smaller.

That's one book that can probably deal -110, and a dimeline in baseball, and survive, reputation means a lot.

They can actually pay their players, promptly.

I wouldn't change that, if I ran BJ.

I think 5 dimes offers 5 cent lines in baseball regularly (-102/ -103)...and also has a very solid reputation.

bet365 is a great book even though they offer -110 odds.

Bet$3.65 is non-USA, doesn't fit 90% of RX posters.

Correct on 5D. However that is overnight only, sides only, ends about 11 am Eastern, $500 limit.

Still great.

On the Subject at hand, there are Credit Shops that will show Some -02 or -03. But that's for the Bigger Fish
