    you local's "juice"

    How much does you bookie charge? Mine is 5% though I still use online books. I live in Maine so it's call this time a year, to much of a hassle to go outside and collect or pay but that's just me. Though if it were a big game (like the Superbowl) and risking a "large" then I would make the occasion.

    hes talking about the juice so the standard lines are -105 instead of -110 which is pretty rare for locals to be doing. Also agents get paid a percentage based on the makeup of the customers they bring in.

    That would be pretty awesome to have a local with -105


    Take the Bears and Steelers with him @ -105

    Then take Packers and Jets on 5 Dimes reduced juice at -103.

    Or better yet, tonight in College Basketball there are plenty of -102's and sometimes you can find +10X on -3.5 NFL games.


    Sure it won't win you a ton a money, but guaranteed not to lose money.
