Thank you, Manster. Just something I've been observing. I've been betting less and less.
Used to be that you felt like you're getting a fair shake. Now, I see two things:
1) 30-cent lines on small markets.
2) Vig on bigger Moneylines that's just unconscionable.
I mean, a lot of these lines are unplayable. Why bother?
What about Boxing lines? 1/60 on the Fav, 12/1 on the Dog. GMAFB.
My view is that oddsmakers are there to create liquid markets. You have the benefit of +110, make it a challenge. Don't set the line in a way that you cut off all volume.
