I'm sorry druff maybe next time. Bet before I saw that. O guess I wasted 40 if I lose. I don't really want to put more on this maybe next time.
Would have totally done 400 with you. Oh well.Quote:

What a joke. Vegas it's -4.5 -105 right now.
BTW Daly I will give you til 3:15 to confirm since it's almost 3 for the $100.
fwiw Bovada uses 2 sets of lines, one for sharps and one for all others
I know it's you dude but where are you getting that?Quote:

Out of curiosity I went to bovada now fully expecting to see -5....
I have it at -4.5 still.

How are you seeing 4.5, BGC?
Cool - good luckQuote:

I got -4.5 when I just logged in. I can confirm they will adjust lines on you. Before they shut me off of hockey props my lines were 1-2 SOG and 10 cents worse then the public.Quote:

Any other lines dif?
More or less one set of lines are donkey lines. Which means Favs with extra juice or extra points on spreads. I think if u are taking the better spreads and picking them off instead of betting the shitty lines when u login u will see sharper lines
No matter how bad tonight gets, at least your not at the NFL game.
Is this real life. Bovada not offering second half Line in sac milwaukee. I want to pound milwaukee
Found it under live betting
YES!
So far I got 2 out of 3....now I just need the Bucks to simply win

He's on the phone with Daly negotiating payment terms.Quote:

Well at least Bovada did me a favor by having a shitty line all day.
Still don't understand what they are accomplishing by making it 4.5 for BGC. If a ton of money is going on the Houston side, and they are moving the line to prevent that, why are they NOT encouraging certain players to also bet that way? Doesn't make sense to me.
Record now 35-27-3.
Milwaukee has killed the spread this year. They've quietly gone 18-8 ATS despite only a mediocre overall record.Quote:

I think if someone bets a lot of favs you will get higher lines, if someone is mixing up play you get lower lines etc.. Not exactly sure how it works or how they do it but I have been told from few people there are 2 sets of linesQuote:

Weeeeeeeeee! Best part about the Bucks game (IMO) is I risked a tiny amount of money for a much larger reward.
There are clearly at least 2 sets of lines, but I'm wondering what they get out of it.Quote:

So maybe they noticed BGC likes to fire on small road underdogs, and they decided they are going to punish him by setting the line 0.5 points worse.
Otherwise it makes no sense, as moving the line 0.5 one way has the reverse effect on the other side. Furthermore, they actually WANT his action, sharp or not, if they have disproportionate money on one side.
Likely a combo due to Druff betting a higher # of faves AND for large avg $ amounts. Betting 700/game probably isn't that common. He's not the biggest whale, but definitely above avg.Quote:

I didn't get anything changed on Bovada.Quote:

I will post a screen shot if my nba odds tomorrow to see if their are any differences.
All I know is that after hitting a parlay for 10K last year I've gotten zero bonuses.
Generally I think they want 50 % on each side , but it never works out that way and I don't think they put overstock into making sure that happens.
I think most sportsbooks especially big ones like Bovada are making the majority of their money from degens betting parlays/ bad teases/ and chasing losses or when someone gets hot and has no control they fire till they lose. Add in this type of bettor is probably betting favorites , they juice the lines here and there and eventually this type of bettor gets clobbered.
Are you saying that they juice the favorites in general, and only un-juice them for perceived sharps?Quote:
