    Do I take a shot at my bookie?

    Local usually gives identical lines to everybody else, except today.

    Denver -7 vs the jets. 5Dimes has it at -10.

    I double checked he said that was the correct line he was giving. Is this considered taking a shot? No cap on bets too, but he knows me and i'm $15-$25 a game bettor. If he sees me throw out 1k on a game he gonna know somethings up. BUT I mean i did double check, should I just do it?

    Whats the play here guys?

    Mind you I never told him what I saw elsewhere, but i mean thats his job and he gives bad lines and gets taken then its his fault. I double checked so I think this is a solid play, but will he honor it is the question.

    and its not taking a shot. I've always thought taking a shot was betting big with no intent to pay if lost

    5 dimes is - 10 + 110 or + 10 -130.

    Teasers push key numbers and slanted juice.

    - 8 - 108 at Pinny. Closer to reality.

    It's not as off as it may seem.

    One point off currently, not the 3 points it seems.

    Hope that helps.

    warbux you always take shots if:

    1. If you're Russian
    2. If you have good friends who got your back no matter what
    3. If you're a bad ass
    4. If you can handle yourself in a street fight against 2 or more guys
    5. If you know people in a law enforcement who can back you up if needed
    6. If you have access to over 100K in cash in a matter of hours
    7. If you're good with a gun

    If any two of more of these apply to you- you take a shot

    there's a heavy hitter that's been martingaling the jets from the start of the season and losing a fortune.

    doubt he's gonna stop betting on the jets. i say wait and you'll get better numbers by game time.

    It is taking a shot but if it loses, you have to pay. So you are taking a risk. I say take it. Like jj said, Jets suck Denver rolls

    Yeah I can't see the Jets doing much against that offense. Even at home it will be tough to go toe to toe with Manning. Double it if you feel that confident, otherwise just bet the usual and chalk it up as a good bet. If it looks too good to be true, it usually is.

    Just put a dime on it and tell him you have a 10 somewhere else and you are trying to middle.

    I don't get it. What are u afraid of? Bet it. If he changes the line then don't bet it.
