Tried to notify book of possible bad line via live chat

[mighty maron]

I tried to notify a major book of a possible bad line via live chat. Rep says I dont have access to betting software please call. Meh too much pain in the butt. I just wont bet it.


Ok here it is

Bra. League Sao Paulo vs Corinthians

ML for each

SP + 225
Cor + 205
Draw + 215

I just know that if I try to bet all three I will get torched by the site for betting "bad line" and bonus abuse....

Is this a bad line?

[sportstrader88]

Yes Sao Paulo should probably be +125, not +225. They will most likely cancel any bets on SP +225 due to bad line.

Don't bet it, don't tell them, have an iced tea.

Of course it's a bad line, it's scalpable with itself. But there's no upside to informing a book about a bad line because at best you get a "thank you" and at worst you label yourself as someone who can identify bad lines.

I used to inform books about bad lines when I saw stories about people who got free plays from books as a thank you, but I never once got one, and several times the book was a real pain in the ass when I was trying to help, like the CS rep would argue with me that the line was right.

this is kinda off topic but say in the OPs example, is it deemed "wrong" to bet 2 of the sides? or even if Sao Paulo was really supposed to be +125 like sportstrader said. what if i bet draw and corinthians? if i thought those were the only 2 outcomes, therefore ensuring myself a profit? is this looked down upon? im not really an experienced soccer bettor
