        There's great value in taking dogs. Robyn bet on herself at -200.

        There's a very simple reason for the inflated lines: I can't get two way action on a lot of these matches. I realized that when I did the in-match betting, I tried to give away bets on people who had a one or two unit lead (or bigger) and no one really wanted the bets.

        The fact is that there are certain people that no one will bet on under any circumstances so if one of those posters is involved in a match v. a fan favorite (Robyn, Shamswolf, etc) I really have to make the odds juicy to make anyone even consider betting on the dogs.

        My problem is that I'll never get two way action on lots of matches. Your match is a perfect example of that. I don't think anyone will take redrum at +150 against you so I had to inflate your line to compensate for that. Two much one way action will kill me. One max bet on redrum will make your odds to win -182, two max bets on redrum and you'd become a -140 favorite. Do you understand where I'm coming from?

        Robyn's down to -182 because I got a max bet on her opponent. If I know certain people won't get any bets on them I have to try and solve that problem first. If I can't solve that problem you and Chi Archie and Shamswolf and several others will remain huge favorites because I don't want too much one sided action.

          It's all good. I've been hitting steady winners against you since this started. Starting to feel a bit bad because I like ya. I'll give you a break this round.

            Last week you were trying to put me out of business:

            http://forum.sbrforum.com/sbr-points/229668-clean-out-fearless-these-plays.html

            Now you're talking like this?

            If you feel bad about taking my points make some small bets for fun. You can have a lot of fun while risking like 20 points.

              Incorrect. I'm a broken human. I have to push myself to the limits in all aspects just to.....feel.

              HIGH FIVE!!

                    You can take Robyn at -120. I need you to do it to even the action out.

                          I know this is for fun but I don't think anyone will take RedRum at +150 when they see Bread is -250. You seem to move the line only one way. A more comparable line to a -250 would be +200 on RedRum. You might get action that way.

                            Maybe. But, if I have to pay out too many +200 bets I'll go broke. There are no easy answers.

                              Come on I'm only at +110! I'm relatively unknown! I'll wait to see if my line jumps.
