question about cent-lines

-110 on each side, so today it would be -110 on Mich St and -110 on the opp side, St Louis.

10 cents vig on one side+10 cents vig on the other=20 cent line

It's perhaps not the most intuitive, but that's the lingo.

Likewise -105 on each side is a 10 cent line (or "dime line") and -115 is a 30cent line, which you will often see on team totals and props.

uhm, so is a -121/+120 a 41 cent line?

No, that is 1-cent.

You add them up, and look at the last two digits.

I was reading a book called Weighing the Odds, and he said.. "For a point spread of -110 on each team, the total vig is 20 cents, thus a 20-cent line." Can anyone explain how he calculated this, and it's significance? I appreciate it!

You want to play at lower juice book, because you either win more on same risk amount, or risk less to win same amount.
