    Bookmaker Family Reduced Vig?

    Logged on just now and saw NBA, NHL and NFL at -108. Logged on to my inactive Justbet account and saw the same. This is great if it's gonna be a long term thing. Did they make an announcement about this? I looked at the last few days of postings on here and saw nothing about it.

    It's been that way since the NBA Bubble started. Even quarter lines, which used to be 30 cent'ers, are -108. So yeah...looks to be at least an extended experiment. And no, I don't think they've said a word.

    Well, I’m not either so must be in that 5%, if what you say is true. It’s a little off topic tho.

    JJ being a bit harsh here. But he is not completely wrong.

    Most limiting is due to people using the betting infrastructure to gain an advantage, like steam chasing and using bad numbers to arbitrage.


    Plenty of times books just get sick of losing on a certain market and do it too though.

    The worst thing about bookmaker is they charge you extra if you want to use decimal odds by always rounding down

    So basically, you're forced to use american odds or else lose out another 1% on top of the already shitty odds
