Why Are PA Books Still Dealing -112 and -113 Spread Lines?
I saw 4 books today -112 WNBA games and all other books -110
Numerous football games -112 to -114
OMG and you wonder why people flock other places

JJ have you ever thought about the overhead costs? A US book pays employees a living wage, has to pay for their health insurance, SS, Medicare taxes, 401k, etc.
An offshore book pays their employees in a 3rd world country $3 an hr with no benefits. This is how they can afford to deal -105 lines.

Short answer?
Because they can, and until the consumers makes a big fuss over it, the books will continue to do so.
Do the math, do you know how much extra money they are making by charging -113 than -108?
Gazillions, that's how much.

But if they continue to get away with -113, they'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

Their market is recreational bettors who will bet any line. Do you think slot players care whether the payout is 96% vs 94%…?
We are jaded here at SBR as the sharps here have taught us to think like professional gamblers, not like recreational action players.

Have you looked on indeed? The people setting the lines for USA books are getting paid $18 an hour. Garbage.

Its hard to bet for action and also bet to be a professional gambler.
You must pick one or the other.
