      I have no idea... But lines are always like that.. There's never +105 +110. Those games are usually even. Even to my bookie means -120 for both cinci n oakland

                What kind of bookie stays in business offering -120/-120 lines? More importantly, why do you do business with him?

                  he might not want to play bb or feels vulnerable in doing business in this sports area, so skews the juice on bb sides. it happens. i know bookies that do this.

                            U mean their boss. My bookie works for someone. All bookies I've dealt with get paid shit money to stand back in a room and take bets all day, they usually get money off tips

                                    it's not worth your money or time to play bb with those odds. Maybe a game every now and then, but not every day. don't fall for the urge to do so. don't think about getting paid or paying weekly. just find a book that offers decent lines that will pay.
