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!

-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.Comment -
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.Comment -
uhm, so is a -121/+120 a 41 cent line?"I have never seen a wild thing feel sorry for itself. A little bird will fall dead, frozen from a bough, without ever having felt sorry for itself."
