    5dimes changing lines for my account?!?!?

    Hello,

    I was comparing the moneyline odds of different books today using the Live Odds on SBR and noticed that the moneylines they were displaying for 5Dimes were slightly better than what I was getting. Is it common practice for books to give you slightly worse moneylines if you have been heavily playing them and winning?? Are there books that do this more or less than others?

    Thanks

    Not likely. I've never seen or heard 5dimes do this before.

    SBRodds shows the reduced line set. He is probably looking at 5dimes full juice line set.

    yes, I was about to say that.

    Internet only reduced vig is shown by sbrodds and you can access this as well. Standard is full juice, but look for reduced juice in your online account.

    My guess is he bets more than $500 per game, making the Reduced of no use to him

    But based on what he said, he may have taken the 500 too many times.
