20% juice?

[Iconoclast]

Hey Folks,
Just opened my 1st sportsbook account with Bookmaker. I will only be betting on football. If I am reading the odds right it seems as though the vig or juice they take is 20%. When I bet locally years ago I used to bet to win 100 or lose 110. The odds I see on the site seem to have a 20% spread. Lay 100 to win 105 on an underdog or lay 125 to win 100 on the favorite.

Three questions.
Am I reading this right?
Is this standard on all sites?
Are there any recommended sites that have better football only odds?

Sorry, It has been awhile. Thanks in advance

No. Bookmaker is -110/-110 lay $110 to win $100 which is 4.54% juice, a 105/-125 line is actually slightly less juice

No. Try 5dimes, betphoenix, or matchbook for reduced juice (-105/-105 @ 5dimes/phoenix)

the example you give is in fact a 20 cent line +105/-125, was just moved 15 cents on both sides.

Why not try Bet911 for reduced juice. They offer -105, also try Pinnacle for the best prices.
