    4 1/2 inning bets. What books do you recommend?

    A player has emailed SBR looking for recommendations on books that offer 4 1/2 inning betting on the MLB. If anyone has any recommendations please post them.

    5Dimes seems to have the most options for bases , I use them for all my odd bets.

    4 1/2 is different than 1st 5 of course.... most books don't do both.

    5 dimes actually does 4.5? thats a huge advantage for the away team, I guess it helps you get a good price on a huge home dog? is that why someone would play 4.5

    topgame85. that's not a big advantage for the away team becasue the lines are adjusted. However, gambling is mathematics and there's always an advantage SOMEWHERE.

    I'll find this answer if I have to go down the entire SBR list from A to D-, because now I'm really curious to see who all offers 4.5 inning lines. Still can't believe 5Dimes don't offer them at all.

    Sorry, I was assuming you meant 5-inning lines all along, which most books have now. I don't think I have seen 4.5 inning lines specifically. 5 Dimes has 5-inning lines as most books do, but NOT 4.5 innings.

    JJ,

    Yeah, apparently some books have 4.5 inning lines that are offcial in the middle of the fifth, even if the road team is winning.

    I wish I would have seen your post before I went searching and found it on my own sir, because It would have saved me some time.

    BTW, Thank you for posting this info.
