    Bovada?

    This a funny joint as of what a buddy tells me. He says they hide their spreads sometimes and seem to serve them indiscriminately, which way a customer normally plays. Wow, is that even possible?

    He says they advertise a 7 on Cav's but state a 6 on their web. Is this the truth?

    Bovada is solid. Fast payouts. Cavs are -7 on their web, was 6.5 earlier..

    And their fast pay has really slowed down over last 3 months. Major processor issues all well documented.

    Fast payouts? Are you serious? 3 days for bitcoin and a week for p2p. Get real. They are the slowest paying book for 15 years.

    The word on Bovada. Several player's have stated; they offer baited fish-hook-lines for low intelligent bettors. They say if your IQ is over 80, they will hide that tasty looking bait.

    I made a thread one time asking people what they had for a particular game. The juice was all over the place. Some people have -6 -110 some had -6 -125, -130, +6 EV, others actually had a -5.5 or -6.5.

    There's probably some cases that if you knew someone well enough, you could get both sides and middle it. Not the most ethical thing in the world, but if you're giving people different lines...

    this happens every day in every sport. just look at the okc line on the sbr page. +3.5 -110, i get +3 -105.

    or in bases, they put up houston -144 but i get -150.

    This is exactly why I don't believe most people who post this stuff.

    If they are so smart to 'know' whats going on, why are they never smart enough to see how to exploit it?

    how would you exploit it optional? how often does a line land in the middle? you'll just end up losing vig. then when you hit one, they'll just feed the other guy the same line as you. it's not worth the risk...
