              Really more than that. You have to win 54.5% to breakeven. So let's say that you win 53% of your bets, which is damn good. And let's say you make 200 $500 bets over a year. You go 106-94.

              At -110:
              106 @ $500= $53,000
              94 @ $-550 = -$51,700
              $1,300 profit

              At -120:
              106 @ $500 = $53,000
              94 @ $-600 = -$56,400
              $3,400 loss

              At 53% winning you go from a $1,300 profit to a $3,400 loss. As you make more bets over larger amounts, it only gets worse. It's not like you're just losing 10% of profits. It can easily be the difference between being a winner and being a loser.

                          That is terrible. Unless he is giving very juicy off numbers. No point playing with a cheapo bookie charging -120

                          Even -110 is a thing of the past.

                          Sharp guys lay at -105 or better these days

                                Dumb thought. You're not going to win every bet. If you have $100 in your pocket to wager, you're going to win more at -110 than -120.

                                          I thought only bartenders did this

                                          Charge -120....
                                          Pass every bet @-110


                                          They pocket $10 of each of your $100 losers

                                            This is EXACTLY how I'd book. Ensures I have nothing but super-squares shoveling money into my bank account.

                                                I dunno about a scumbag. People are coming to him.

                                                That's like going to an ATM right by your house over and over again, and cursing at it because the fee is higher than the one two miles away.

                                                              How long has he been doing that? I couldn't imagine him lasting too long, surely not.

                                                                Pretty presumptuous.

                                                                And I'll bet he'll be around for a long time so long as he doesn't get busted. Just because we understand -120 has no value doesn't mean that 95% of bettors out there have any clue. Have you talked to the regular everyday schmuck who bets sports?? They don't know ANYTHING -- about anything.
