    If There Was Only One Book Left And Offered -140 Lines I Would Play There

    I do not give a fuk if Giants are -5 -140

    Its a drug to me and I would still bet those lines

    I need action..I think 50% here would to

    If you pick winners juice means nothing

    As dumb downded as this board has got since the point program, no way 50% would go for -140.

    betting into -140 line is not action, it's more like having an allergy to money.

    Well, lets put it thsi way.

    Imagine that the US Goverment approves casinos to be built within the US.

    But they will Charge the customer a 50% TAX of their winnings. So the casino gives you a -110 line you bet 110/100 you win 100 but then the casino charges you 50 for taxes so you risked 110/50 thats like you had , what a -210 line?

    Would you play there??

    Hey JJ, did you get that 200 loan so you could go pro yet?

    Actually, this sort of make sense. If you go bust at -110 lines, you'd go broke at -140 lines...just a little faster. Since it must only be about the action, you probably would play -140 lines.

    Our government sports lottery has lines around -140 I think. And it's probably the most popular form of wagering here. It's disgusting. Most people are just clueless as to what is a good line.

    I hate when the supposed player advocate for this site makes comments like these.
    I know your job is to create views and stir the pot but a post like this is simply retarded.
    A 40 cent line is unbeatable. I wont even waste my time doing the math to find out what kind of percentage you would need to maintain to profit at -140 but I know its no doable.
    I hope the death of online for US players doesnt take down this site but posts like this one certainly make me feel thats the direction we're going in

    I need the rush of gambling as well but i would gamble in other ways like poker because i would feel disgusted knowing they are taking such a huge advantage of me.

    Competition and the Free Market generally creates good value for customers. Perhaps this is why the Government is trying to get all of these sportsbooks shutdown. The Government run Lottery only pays out .50 cents for every $1 it takes in. That's the equivalent of -200 lines ATS and O/U. If the Government ever does succeed in shutting down all US friendly Sporstbooks they will likely start their own and offer -200 lines on everything. Of course they will disguise it with a bunch of family friendly BS marketing and they certainly won't call it -200 even though that's exactly what it would be. With no competition there are bound to be a bunch of idiots that would play there.
