Yeah, but didn't he get out of that bet at halftime with San Diego +14 2nd half??

Why bet thru TVG?

Think of how much money you could've gotten back with a Pinnacle or IRG rebate.

IRG is bull**** JJP, I talked to Youbet about it but I can't get in with them because I am too close to Arlington. They have SERIOUS rebates there. That is why I have to go through Pinnacle now

You are getting straight up jacked from TVG by the way. Don't they charge you per wager, like 25 cents per ticket or something. That is borderline thievery

[uscrules]

maybe the lines dixie were betting were teaser lines. anyone who bets sports knows what teaser lines are. they are exaggerated lines with odds attached to them, for instance if you like indy to crush cinnci tonight, instead of taking even money and giving 3.5 points, some places will give like 3/1 if you are willing to give 10 or 11 points.
dont be so eager to say somebody is wrong or lying. maybe you need to learn something before you rush to judgements.

HA! Good one, rook. you don't know the legend of dixie, I guess.

by the way- those adjusted lines you refer to are called PLEASER lines.

not where i come from there not. teaser are what they are called. you "tease" the actual line.

A teaser allows you to move a line 6, 6.5, 7, or 10 points in your favor, and requires that you select 2 (or more) teams to win.
I.E., let's say Buffalo was giving 3 to Miami with an over/under of 37. You could take Buffalo +3 and an Over 31.

A PLEASER allows you to move the line AGAINST you, generating better odds.
I.E. you could move Buffalo to -7 and get 2:1. A similar concept is ACTION POINTS. You get better odds for each point the team you select beats the spread by.

Trust me guy, I've been doing this a long time.

sorry you rook, you are correct.

He quoted them at 6/5 odds, unless he was teasing them together, which I could see, but straight up, those lines were off a couple points

To be honest JJP I do not know. I usually will one bet 1 race or so and then call it quits. But for some reason I just kept going and going. I am not sure if TVG charges a per wager fee. I know it used to be 25 cents but I dont know if it is like that now. Pinnacle would have been much better for me this weekend.
