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.

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.

eh, it's semantics.. "sandalwood, sandalfoot, whatever the f*ck you call it..."
but more about defensing dixie whereas he deserves no defense for his ridiculous football lines claims.
