Is it Normal?

[Popcorn Trick]

For a book to keep the change, like all of it, all the time.

$30 wager -105 = 32 to win 30

+105 = 30 to win 31

Actually, I know it is not, but wonder how heated I should be. They always keep the change up to 90 cents, maybe even 99 cents.

I've been at many books that don't use change, but lotta times they round in your favor.

I make like 30-50 smaller bets a day( I know, terrible) so this kinda stuff kills me. Curious if they are doing it to everyone or just me? Seems like a big deal for nobody to have mentioned this yet. Pretty popular site on this board too.

What I hate is the potential ramifications... for example over the week, it might cost me $30 bucks and then my money is all tied up and I have no coin to hit a great live line....So it could have been sixty and then that could be the start of a nice little rally...

Still don't hate it as much as when books cheat with live betting.

Please advise.

Have never played at a book that does not include cents and disregards them altogether.

Which book is this? Surely you can find a better one that actually pays you what you won.

I recall striking that once several years ago. Can't remember which book it was. Pretty ordinary stunt.

Normally you only see this in credit books when playing with a local.

1vice does this.

I assumed they just didn't want small bettors so never went back.

Surprised you would put up with it the way you say you bet.

some still do it the rounding and they claim it evens off..no idea on the math

In the dgs sports book software you can set if cents are shown or not.
i think the rounding can either always go to zero or reverse.
for example, -0.12 will go to 0 and 0.12 will go to 0.
but in the system the digits stay there, unless they zero out the account manually.
you can't look at individual wagers, look at multiples and you should see the change is still in the account.
