JJ,
you amaze me with your one line solution to everything. Rio/Sky should be noted as a QUALITY SHOP but to say they have never had any problems is simply to ignore the entire free half platinum issue were they actually made some pretty big PR mistakes. I happened to be one of their players that had my limit reduced and I talked to them before I signed up and told them how I would be playing. I paid for there promotion and with Don Best at my side, I had a very real expectation of generating a profit from the offered and accepted deal. When they cut my limits, they simply changed the deal and lowered my expected hold as a result. While I understand why they did it, it certainly would not qualify RIO/SKY as "A NO COMPLAINT SHOP"

105 juice.
No doubts about it. Usually the ½ doesn't even makle a difference. What percentage of games fall THAT close to the line? 5% less juice....You only have to hit 52.5% to break even instead of 55%. This is a margin where a lot of players operate, above 50% but not above the juice requirements. It could be the difference between winning an loosing for a lot of people.

Superwimp,
Please pay attention as you keep miss-stating break-even % rather badly, IMO.
The break-even for -110 spread lines is 52.38%, NOT 55%. If you win 11/21 $110 bets you'd break even as 11 winners pay $1100 profit and 10 losers nets -$1100 for a ZERO total.
The break-even for -105 lines would be 105/205 = 51.22%. It's a simple formula of lay amount/lay amount plus 100. Every bettor should know this one, IMO!
As to what is better it is obviously depending on the sport and what is included. If key numbers were all included for NFL you'd be silly not to take the hook, but when they are exempted, as is usually the case, it is more borderline.
This has been hashed out a lot in the Handicapping FORUM last year, check it out and pay attention to Ben Dover's numbers as much of the other lame brains get confused ( like me LOL )!
