    Just noticed they round bets in their favor. Example... If you bet -195 It costs you $200 to win $100

    huh

    try again

    it costs you 195 to win a 100


    they do round but the example you gave does not exist

    also it works both ways so you can use it to your advantage as well.

    I just saw they round, too, but they round to the nearest whole dollar. It goes either way. $50 bet at -110 pays out $45. $49 pays out $45 also, while $51 pays out $46. If someone takes the time to make a table of actual vig costs then we could maximize profits. It's not much but it does add value. Pay $98 to win $90 if you break the bets up. Or pay $100 to get $91. Paying -108.9 instead of -110.

    I also love this book. Customer service is awesome.

    good catch abc never noticed that, their customer service is great and they do pay .

    however as of late seems like the more popular this book gets with the forums the less they care.

    Betislands is a good example of how treating customers with respect and fast payouts will get you a good word of mouth.
