When are some other books going to have the "Sell Points" feature? Bet365 is a ripoff

[FatTony]

Last night, if you want to go under on the Angels game and move the line 1/2 point against yourself, you got a whopping 5 cents. Yippee! (9 1/2 under -115 instead of 10 under 120) Why bother??


Are there any books out there that have this type of betting with better odds? Not interested in pleasers.

Forgot they do it.

But they only have this feature for baseball right?

i think Im missing what you were trying to do. Can you explain again.

getting an extra 1/2 run and only paying 5 cents sounds too good to be true. what were you adjusting?

thanks

That's buying points.

What i'm talking about is giving up points in exchange for a better price.

yep, the opposite...giving up a half run for 5c is what he is talking about, which is absolutely the worst bet I probably have seen offered ever.

No one will give you a good price on these or they would get buried. Unless they are giving "fair odds" on giving up the points, anyone with a clue will never play it. The clueless don't understand the difference between giving up 5c, 10c, 15c, etc, so they will set it as low as possible where they think the truly stupid among us will bite.

Check out 5 dimes, I believe they offered some different totals in the past. E.g. they might give you lines on -8.5, -9, -9.5 all on the same game.
