am I missing something?
why do I see -103/-107 lines at exchanges instead of +100/-100 or -105/+105
traditional bookmakers incorporate the vigorish or juice into their line because its their take or commission for taking the bet
in the case of exchanges though, vig does not make sense, that is not were the exchange makes its money from but from the commission they charge on the winning player
if anything, they are taking money out of their own pocket because the winner earns less, and pays less commission
also they are driving players away, paying both vig+commission makes it cheaper to bet at places like pinnacle
