    NEED HELP: mods and baseball bettors

    i need to open another account soon, and my question is....who, other than 5Dimes offers -110 or less on BASEBALL TOTALS. I checked the sbr reviews and it seems that most of them are doing totals at 20% juice.

    should i wait until spring, will they be giving specials? 20% is ridiculous and not worth even playing at that vig. even betjam does totals at 20%.

    any LEGIT books to reccomend?

    thanx in advance.

    Matchbook. Your effective juice will be less than 5%.

    -110/-110 is less than 5% juice. Surely matchbook can do better than that.

    Yes, they can do MUCH better than that. Not to quibble, but -110/-110 means on any bet you're laying 55 to win 50. I've been out of school a while, but back in the day that was 10 percent.

    Calculating Juice 101 - For folks who have been out of school a while
    If a book offers -110/-110

    Player A bets $110 on Team A
    Player B Bets $110 on Team B

    The book holds $220

    Regardless of the result the book will payout $210

    Books payout is 210 divided by 220 = 95.46%

    Juice = 100 - payout (95.46) = 4.54%
