I've been loosely tracking this since the start of ncaab and it seems to be a standard practice from this outfit....
Sorry for the long winded post but try to follow along, seems like outright targeting from FOXBET/BETSTARS here.
Once you log in and click on "ncaab" the odds for all games will pop up....Some odds are true/current odds and others are very obviously alternate lines. The problem I see is that your novice/square player is not going to realize this and will be betting into alt. lines without meaning to.
For example, the other night Iowa played at Iowa State and the true line was I.ST -4.......
If you clicked on "ncaab" lines on FOXBET this is what shows up (Iowa State -9.5 +225) ..a clear alt. line:
If you click the "more wagers" link they list a variety of other lines for the game, none of which are the true/current line of -4:
Seems to me they are preying on novice/square/clueless gamblers and have a huge edge on any wager being placed. Is this ethical? I have another example with tonights UTEP/NC A&T game where they are dealing UTEP -23.5 on the regular NCAAB dropdown menu which is an absolute JOKE
