    Bookmaker VIG

    So, I'm no genius ... but these vig's are insane.

    Wanted to tease Buf/Lar.

    -120 for 6 points to +13, +12.5. (-120 for 6 point tease borderline wrong)

    Looked at getting over 14. +8 vs +6 , gets me to +15/+14.5. They want -180. WTF.

    I can get better lines local, but have positive balance at BKMR. May be time to close?

    Can't argue. May head elsewhere.

    Their 3 team 10 pt teaser is actually slightly better priced than 5dimes

    Paying 120 bad enough, but going to 180 for 2 points insane.

    Does any book really give good teaser odds?

    2 team 6 pt teasers are still -110 at 5dimes

    You can even get -105 if you find matching half pt spreads (+1.5, +2.5, -7.5, -8.5) by doing 5.5 pt, ties WIN

    5Dimes have great teaser odds across the board but they're quick to limit and almost always use teaser protecting lines

    But as said above the special 3 team teasers (-120) at bookmaker have slightly better odds than at 5Dimes. I ran numbers on it a while back and you can definitely make profitable teasers there, not just in football but basketball too

    Maybe it's a little different now in football though since the extra point was moved back. Basketball is actually easier to find profitable teasers since you don't have to worry about teaser protection lines. All SDQL

    5D best offshore teaser prices of the big books, can parlay lots of things, watch out for correlations because they are, nfl they build in teaser protection though

    sometimes depends if u want the juice or the number

    Two team 7 point teaser might as well be juiced to -250 the ways these lines are sticking

    For 6 point 3 teamers
    Bet Pop +170(5?)
    GT Bets +180
    BetPhoenix +180
    I think Bovada still does +180 too

    I think for two teamers BetPop is -105 which I don't think you can find too many other places. Most are -110 or -120.

    For the sports I play, the vig is also higher at Bookmaker than other books at which I play. It's something I hope they can improve on.

    Still, their performance by other very important metrics (bitcoin payout speed, limits, customer service, overall professionalism) makes it an elite fiat book from my standpoint. Probably the best overall fiat book I've ever played with.

    They were -200 for a 3 team 9 point tease today. Moving $$ next week.
