This reminds me of something a weak local was once accused of doing. When players would call in for the line he would ask who do you want. If you said Denver Broncos he would say -8, if you said Indianapolis he might say +6. Players didnt have a way to check current lines or money options to play elsewhere back in those days.
To me if a guy wants a side at +120 right now and he wants $40,000 on it he should get $40,000 to win $48,000. It isnt right of the book to make him put through $500 at a time so they know which side he is playing and can give him lower, dishonest odds. The line is +120 you should get +120 not +110 or +105. To me this is just another of the very many dishonest practices by the offshore books.
Lets say 2 guys are betting the same game but opposite sides and the line is -140 takeback +120. Each player wants a big stake and has to put through $500 at a time. By the time the full stakes are put through the guy who wants the favorite is playing it at -155 or -160, while the guy on the dog is getting +105 or +110. We all know books deal multiple lines.
Lets say a guy finds a line with small juice ( ex. -110 take back +105) and he pounds the -110 so hard that it goes up to -125 take back +115 the he starts pounding the +115. The book would scream bloody murder. They would call him a scammer, cheater, theif, dirtbag, money launderer, mobster, terrorist, etc. The book however is pulling a scam just the same when they change the odds solely because they know that is the side you like.
To me if it is now 5:38 EST and the line is +120 and I want $40,000 at 5:38 EST I should get all my play at +120. Just my opinion.
