Reduced Lines What is that?

it obviously is better to bet reduced because you get a better value.
but, reduced lines are only available the day of the event, and you cant bet on it with bonus money or free plays.

Thx guys, i just don't get why the book would offer it.

Reduced Juice > Any bonus promotion/offer

Reduced Juice is a Life-Time Bonus!

Well Pinnacle for example offer reduced juice but don't offer any sign up or bonus offers as a bit of a trade off. Also the attraction of reduced juice brings in a higher turnover overall for the book. It is no coincidence that 5Dimes and Pinnacle are the two highest rated books at SBR, they each offer reduced juice.

I like to describe it as a bonus if you are a typical bettor. For example a 10% bonus that you have to bet through 2 times before cashing out is 5 percent off or about -105. Same with 20 percent 4x play through. If you bet the same line at -105, you always have that bonus.

For a recreational player it is a bonus that never ends unless the book takes it away (like betonline). I guess they could also take it away for winning or pissing Tony off.

Regular Juice: Means you have to risk $110 for every $100 that you want to win.

Reduced Juice: Means that you have to risk $105 for every $100 that you want to win.

If you do the math, you'll see that Reduced Juice is a lot better.

Its as simple as that.
