Why do books do a line change warning when the odds go in your favor?

Are you supposed to turn down the additional payoff, I was gonna take 110 to win 100 but 110 to win 105 fuk no, thanks for the warning guys reject that bet

Its probably just a computer thing, they alert all line changes.

A better number isn't necessarily better value.

[bettilimbroke999]

I'm talking about when you're placing the bet, in which case a better line DEFINITELY means better value

Would you rather bet 110 to win 100 or 110 to win 105, if you clicked confirm at 110 to win 100 wouldn't you be fine with your bookie paying you 105 instead?

It's called fairness.

Seems retarded to give a warning when line moves 5 cents in your favor, at least make it like a 10 cent move, line moves back and forth 5 cents at Bookmaker every 10 secs

Maybe at the new number you'd like to risk $220 instead of $110. Though it has happened to me that my bet gets interrupted because line moved in my favor, then by the time I've re-entered my bet the line has moved against me so much that it's worse than when I wanted to make my original bet.

Messed me up a few weeks ago. Putting in the last minute or really last second bet on a game about to go off the board, and the line change pops up, which was in my favor. I accept but took too long as game went off the board. Of course my team wins. Makes me think if that favorable line change didn't pop up, I would of been able to get it in on time.

Never understood that myself either really. Must just be some lazy programming.

I guess if it was a -EV bet even after the line change, would getting a less negative EV be considered getting "more" value?

Don't try to analyze, just look away

If there was a drastic line change the other way some may take that as a tip and hold off on the bet. For a simple 1 cent move I doubt anyone would ever change their mind.

yes, it's still more

-5 is more than -10
