Recently re-up'd at Legends which offers many good promotions including a 1/2 juice special from 12pm - 4pm on Fridays and I thought today would be a good day to get all my NFL wagers in for Sunday without laying full juice. So I log into Legends and examine the NFL board and see only 2 games from a 'side' perspective which offer -105. The remaining 9 games do not offer -105 juice. Some examples as of 1:55 EST are---> Mia -3.5 even/Det +3.5 -120 or Bills +9 -128/Pats -9 +108. Below is my chat conversation and for the record, I'm not bashing Legends but rather have some concerns about what I consider a good promo to be not that attractive at least as far as week 16 in the NFL goes. In addition, I should point out that all their totals are at -105.
Of the 12 NFL games to select from, only 2 appear to be at -105? Therefore, 10 of them do not have -105, is this correct?
The totals look okay but the spreads are not....
13:18:49 Joe> That's correct, if the original line is different from -110 then it will not change to -105.
13:19:06 Joe> If you have -115 and -109 it will remain that way.
13:19:29 Joe> Only odds which are -110 change to -105
Hmm...So for the -105 special, only 2 out of 12 games offers -105? That does not seem like much of a special does it?
13:20:58 Joe> If the other lines will had been -110 then the odds will be -105, but currently they are different from -110.
I don't believe it actually says that on your site if a line is different from -110 for the special then the special will not apply does it?
13:22:59 Joe> It says this sir : All wager types where it can be used allowed
It's only a 4 hr window anyway, why the differentiation, why not make them all -105 or nothing?
13:23:42 Joe> That's up to line manager discretion sir.
The final line of the chat indicates it's "up to the line manager discretion" really caused me to post this thread. My impression of this is if Legends if offering an NFL game with -110 juice then it appears this promo will come into effect but for games that are not set at -110, the promo will not apply. Not sure if this is a good way to mitigate risk or if this is just an anomaly for week 16 of the NFL.
Would like to hear from others on the forum on this if they have seen similar incidents in the previous 15 weeks at Legends or general overall thoughts.
