    Line changes right at bet confirming
    This keeps happening to me and I'm getting pissed. I have a wager and I'm about to confirm and the juice goes up magically and I can only get it at the higher price now. I have stuff locked in at (ev) or (-105) and when I go to confirm bet they say the odds have changed to 5 cent higher lines. It is becoming quite the bullshit.

    I'm sure this happens to other people. WTF is the deal with this? Time for a new out it is looking like.

        Happens to me ALL the time at 5 dimes....I've also been limited there. But I still like the options better than bodogs.

            It's at BM, it's bad enough their juice is terrible but this is happening way to much. I can't be the unlucky guy ever betting right before it gets slammed, I'm not that smart. If it wasn't one of my better outs I would pack my shit up and leave.

              Last night I went to put it down on Colts 1H and it jumps 10 cents on me. Unfvcking real. Has happened way too much lately this is why I'm bringing it up. Guess I need to lose some more money to keep my juice from jumping 5-10 cents.

                  Happens to me all the time at 5dimes. Last weekend the line actually moved in my favor, but that's because it was a loser bet.

                    Atleast it is happening to other people. They should just offer -110 lines because it is rare they give you a good bet at (ev) or (-105) I wouldn't mind going into it but once I decide to bet and it changes I feel like I just got bamboozled.

                      Happened to me at Betphoenix yesterday, betting Isner on a tennis match. Jumped from -155 to -160 right before confirming.

                        Happens to me constantly at Bet Jamaica. Never in my favor. Ironically, the few times it has happened to me at DSI, it has given me better odds.

                            happens to me too, but it also has worked in my favor during the baseball playoffs
                            twice the total was 5.5 and 6.5 had under and both time it went up to 6 and 7
                            so it works both ways, just seems it fuking you

                              It's not actually line movement its just more vig on that bitch. I'm never gaining a point or .5 point I'm just getting fvcked out of 5-10 cents on my dollar. I guess you have to pay to get fvcked in this world. Atleast it is cheap @ 5 cents

                                  Here is how to counteract the problem. Bet the opposite line you want to bet on and see if it charges you additional juice.

                                    Like Paco said, they f'ing with me. I would say I place about 7-10 bets a day atleast 2 or 3 gets changed on me as of late. I mean I'm betting NBA 4 hours before tip off it's not like I'm squeezing in gametime bets and they move. I learn to live with it but it reassuring to hear that most places are getting other's also. Being singled out would cause a funny CS live chat tho.

                                      At BM, they also change the line in your favor and don't take the worse bet.

                                        So just cancel the bet and wager the other side. That way it's always in your favor. We all hit around 50% of our bets anyway, so you'll actually gain $

                                          Call it in. They can't change it once they give you the line.

                                            As others have said it works both ways. I've had the line change in my favor as well on multiple occasions. Good times.

                                              exactly, they know if we are already sold on a side, that most of us will say "fkk it, whats 5cents more" and still place the wager. (unless ur fishhead)

                                                Forget betting the other side. I'm not switching my thoughts on all my research and cappin for a 5 cent change. I'm not in the game to be flipping coins.

                                                  If you talk about a half time or 2nd-3rd-4th quarter line, this is ordinary sitiation but if the play was a pregame play this is sad.
                                                  Well, what is the difference between 5dimes and betus? both do this.

                                                      BP does this every time. Especially if you are betting 2nd half or live in game. It takes too long to process so when it finally does the line has moved. Im Probably gonna get away from bp soon because of it
