What book has the tightest ML spreads?

wallstreetcappers · Sep 26, 2003

It seems like a stinking racket. I am over on Pinnacle and yeah they have big moneylines, but what good does it do when the spread is -2000?

Example-

Maryland ML -6600
EMU ML +4700

That is a stinking joke. I am surprised that people dont object to the huge spreads on most every ML wager?

Not every one was bad, but if a book is going to carry that kind of spread, just dont carry the bet.

So what book is the best for the most fair ML spreads?

That spread isn't all that bad at all. It's all about the math and I would estimate that that moneyline isn't much more of a ripoff then the spread line Mar -** -110, EMU +** -110. Someone with some more time can probably give you the math or point you to previous threads that went over moneyline strattles.

hold on -6600/+4700 is a mere 0.59%, much lower than -105/-105 (2.38%)

Mr. WallStreetCappers, you are showing your ignorance by asking the question that you asked, and then stating that -6600/+4700 is highway robbery.

In actuality, a spread of -6600/+4700 offers FANTASTIC value. This is a tighter spread than you can currently find at any sportsbook, with the exception of Pinnacle once in a while.

Anyway, to answer your question, Pinnacle has to be the hands-down winner for Moneyline spreads across all sports. Specifically in baseball, there are a number of other books that keep their Moneylines tight also.

At the other end of the spectrum, MVP SportsBook has atrocious Moneyline spreads (especially in Football). The much vaunted CanBet and BetWorks, while offering reduced juice on pointspreads and totals, are lousy for Moneylines as well. And if you really want to see some Moneyline rip-offs, check out the odds at some of the European books that offer U.S. sports.
