Why do we pay -110

[durito]

I see 9 MLB games right now that have better numbers at other books on at least one side of the game than Matchbook.

Nicky your are winner, I can see your sharper than most of us and see value.

Nicky I thought guys from LA just partied and were very laid back, your not Nicky.

Nicky I need action right now and don't want to run to store and deposit at matchbook, I bet any line and -110 juice like 85% here.

oh grammar check on a sports forum. I have a law degree, my dayz of re reading everything I write is over! Sucks when you cant hang with me on gambling so u have to resort to this. what a mexican't. I can spell grammer with an E and always be a better gambler than you. You have no point wetback.

An idiot like you with a law degree? Now thats funny.

[mundane]

nicky, i see. fuk! if datz the case, i really need to get setup with these online books. ill do it next nba season. right now, i bet at an actual sportsbook.

[BuddyBear]

I think you are missing the point all together here Nicky. MB is a nice book and it's easy to see why so many people like them. However, there are going to be several instances where MB DOES NOT offer the best number. For example, MB has BOS -10 right now, other books have it at -9.5.

With that in mind, it's important to shop around and find the best number. There are a number of rouge books out there that offer lines where you can find .5/1 pt off routinely. If that is the case, you may be laying -110, but you are certainly an advantageous position within the betting market.

How many of us take advice from Mexicans in America? Thank you, so why would you listen to them online.

Si deseas algun consejo de un Texican, seria parar las observaciones acerca de los "spics." ¿Me entiendes?

durito,


you see 9 books, i see none right now. i am looking at my line service as we speak.. let's look at bases...not one game is better on the fav or dog.. be a man and name me those 9 games.. instead of just saying there's 9 books.

and it's only 1 pm.. they are 3 cent lines now at matchy.. at 15 min to opening pitch, you will see none for sure because those 3 cent lines will become 1 cent lines.. like -146/+145.. now they are -147/+144..

I don't think this thread has helped you at all man. Again, MB is a nice book but just b/c it offers reduced juice does not mean it is the best book out there. Your point about "best book" contest is juvinile. There is no such thing as a "best book" or "best books." There are several books out there that should be explored. If you are counting on SBR to tell you what the best books are, don't hold you breath.

SBR evaluates books based on financial considerations, safety, customer service, software, etc... All important stuff but if you can clear those hurdles then all books should be treated the same.

Sorry man, but this has to be said....

[durito]

You are not counting the commission

[durito]

Don't get me wrong -- Matchbook is the #1 place to play baseball money lines the day of the game. You will usually find the best number there. But, certainly not always.

[Nicky Santoro]

durito, commissions??? it's 1%.. so a -144/+143 is equivalent to -145/+142.. is that your argument..


boys, i have heard from 2 of you that matchy hardly has the best #. i also heard from durito that 9 books presently have a better # than matchy. i asked him to name them, and have yet to hear one from him..

durito is a pretender

i pick more winners with higher unit payouts than anyone on this forum by far.

[zerocage]

Then only bet dogs

actually its -145.45/+141.57

so, the padres at +137 at matchbook, pinnacle and 5dimes have a better # at pinny and 5dimes and a better # at wagerstreet at +136

rockies at -103 at abcislands is better than -102 at matchbook

cleveland +125 better at pinnacle

tampa +130 better at betjm

hou -113 better at wsex


thats just the first page of sbrlines.

[Nicky Santoro]

check again big guy. you are wrong on all you just mentioned. i just checked sbr again, and each one you mentioned is better at matchy... except the last one HOU, they both are -113, matchy and wsex.

[turnip]

They're not the same, no commission at wsex

[durito]

lines move. that's hardly the point. cincy is now +100 at matchbook, pinny, and wsex - after comission matchbook loses

rockies are now -101 at matchbook and -102 at wsex (so is florida)

i don't have time to do this all day -- this isn't the point. we we're talking about ptspreads originally.

You will not get paid at these rouge books. Whats the point in getting -4.5 instead of -5 when the book is just going to steal your money? In todays environment I wouldn't accept a 300% no rollover cash bonus and an extra 2 points on all games to place money in a book rated less than A- (maybe there are a couple of B exceptions). If you have money in rogue books chances are slim that you will get your money back.

There are at least 50 B to C rated books that pay people all the time. There are D rated books that pay. While I wouldn't recommend them to most people -- some of us know how to manage risk, and the advantages offered by these places can outweigh the risks.

"Rouge books" wasn't a good term. Let's call them "less well-known books"

[BuddyBear]

DODIF: With all do respect, you're entitled to argue with Durito, but I insist you cut out the insults toward Mexicans as it is neither appropriate nor is it relevant to anything you are discussing.

[durito]

I do like vegetable gardening, you have me there dodiff. I guess I better get back to work before I lose my job.
