Why not 15 cent BASES lines instead of 20 cent?

[Fishhead]

Shops that have 20 cent lines in bases, why do they not at least try and find a happy medium for their customers and at least offer 15 cent lines, if not dimelines?

Very few shops have 15 cent lines.

I'm guessing because players looking for dime lines will still skip over the 15 cent lines, and those that don't care or don't know better will pay the 20 anyway....

20 is ridiculous

That's one of the reasons I don't understand why posters choose Oly number 1 all the time

Or CRIS for that matter.

Because there is NOT enough volumn in baseball. Shops dont care about baseball, they only offer it to keep the football players that they have.
Sports shops went to "shaded" lines and "shaded" totals to keep from moveing off the number which only invites them to be "sided" or even middled if move is far enough.

Kermit & Cincy,

You are both correct.

Believe both of you would agree with me, OLY and CRIS are both OUTSTANDING and UPPER UPPER TIER offshore sportsbooks, but neither would receive our #1 overall sportsbook rating because of the fact they offer 20 cent lines in bases.

Kermit-- What is your reasoning as to why we see so very little in the way of 15 cent lines........mainly from those books that have decided to go from dimelines to twenty-cent lines?
