More nitpicking with 5Dimes

[Capybara]

Why the fukk do they have to post their NFL lines like this?

Seattle +8 -130
San Fran -8 +110

Arizona +7.5 -140
Minnesota -7.5 +120

That's flat-out annoying. I don't feel like going to the drop-down menu to pull up the NORMAL FUKKING LINES. Post the normal -110 line and then I'll go to the drop-down to see the alternate spreads. When I want to browse through lines, I want to see the base ones! I mean doesn't everyone?

It's funny how the grass is always greener. I used to complain about stuff with SIA or Bookmaker, but now that I finally use the wondrous 5Dimes, I prefer everything about the other sites.

They are juicing the dog with a higher line to get more action on that side before they move the line...

thought it was for the teasers?

At least thats what i read here once

[LT Profits]

It is strictly for teaser protection. Teasers are off of the main lines, not the dropdown.

Yeah, I figured they're trying to "point people" to what they want them to play. But it's moronic anyway for people to play stuff just because it shows up first. If you did want to play Seattle, you'd want to just change it to +7 to play at a normal price anyway. It's so annoying, because I like to quickly look through the lines, but I have to click on every one of theirs to see what the real line is.

Why do you complain constantly about the best book online?????

Such a bellyacher!

Because it isn't the best book online. And LOL, I've done like two total threads on this ever, that's constantly?

I mean I guess it all depends on what you want, what you're looking for out of a book.

To me, I just want a site that's very efficient, with everything clear and easy to find, where there are no opportunities to be unhappy with the service. As an example, I know that the lines can be crappy with SIA, but as far as a very efficient, well-designed Web site where everything is where it should be and you click through it all in no time, I think it's way better.

[Fang-Banger]

Dude it's the best book. Maybe it's not perfect in your standards but the options they give reduced juice quick payouts etc are by far more superior than anything I've seen or heard

[Fang-Banger]

My bigger issue than what you're talking about us when their site freezes and even their alternative sites freeze too.

[Louisvillekid1]

I figured teasers where understood...

Isn't it also offering the # passed the key number when they are favoring the other side, similar to a pinny lean?

[Capybara]

That's a HUGE part of what I'm talking about!! What's more important than being able to get online and click through to place a wager when you need to!!! I didn't mention that here but that was what my other thread was about.

And even though the reduced juice is cool, it's only for a very small percentage of the plays (just the straight bet on the game itself for the most part) and not really reduced any huge amount. Not that I don't like it.

agreed it's very fukkin annoying.

Its obviously to protect against teasers... wtf are you talking about

Just my opinion; I agree with you 100%. It's annoying as hell and one of the few things I don't like about 5Dimes. Anyone with half a brain wants to initially see the -110 lines when the line opens. It's bullshit to have to play silly games and change the line to find the -110 spread. The -110 spread is the true spread and that's what 5Dimes should be posting. I go to other sites when the line comes out and go to 5Dimes last now due to this. I don't want to be distracted or mentally misguided or swayed with a meaningless +140 number

Message them. If enough clients bitch and complain, they'll change it.

You are missing the most important point, teasers are based on the line they put up as the main line. That is what they do to protect themselves so they are never going to change it.

[yisman]

correct, Pinnacle does the same thing.

[ThaWoj]

i actually like it because i like to tease dogs. So the shaded lines really can be a benefit. I.E. if u like seattle and do a 6 pt teaser u get them at +14.5 instead of 13 (the true line).

against the 49ers that could be the difference between winning and losing

They're actually juicing the dog with a higher line to get more action on the OTHER side.

Apparently not if you said some nonsense like this:

"They are juicing the dog with a higher line to get more action on that side before they move the line.."

LOL, this is the kind of stuff you get in this forum... Wildly different opinions of why sportsbooks' do what they do with pricing and line-moving. It's enough to drive you batty -- every time I think I've got an edge because I have insight into what the books want, someone says the opposite.

It reminds me of all the heated threads about "The books are just DYING for you to take _____ ." 'WHAT?! Don't be a dumbass, they want you to take _____ ."

[BigPete88]

Does clicking just the reduced box eliminate this??

[the_situation]

Strictly for teasers, some of the posts in this thread are hilarious

[rfr3sh]

LOL well we learned some people are clueless here
there is only one answer it is for teaser protection
not to point anyone one way or the other
no wonder books are rich

[Capybara]

Okay, I'll bite. Everyone's talking teaser protection, teaser protection, teaser protection.

Does someone want to outline for me how those lines "protect" them? I can't really see it. So someone has to tease San Fran to -2 instead of -1. How often is that going to matter? And as someone else said, if you like the dog anyway, now you're getting an extra point.

[Streaky]

5dimes webpage and server functionality is across the board completely mom and pop- they should have been downgraded forever ago on account of that

[easyliving]

it is for teasers indeed. hammer seattle+14 on make them pay.

[sneakerhead]

Its for teasers and it can't be more obvious.
take Seattle game for example, they don't want 49ers teaded to pk in a 7pt teaser so they move the main line to -9(+130 or whatever), its not for getting action on +9. Heritage on other side charge you premium for Wong teasers.

[SteelRain]

it's super annoying and just proves why pinny is the best book hands down

[sneakerhead]

it's super annoying and just proves why pinny is the best book hands down

From what Ive read, Pinny does the same thing against teasers

[rfr3sh]

it's super annoying and just proves why pinny is the best book hands down

umm...

Look at Pinny
Carolina +1 +114
Cleve +1 +118
