Still kind of curious about this.
sorry, never came back to this thread.
They put their lines up a lot later than other sites and in some games they don't have totals or moneylines unless it's a televised game.
and here's another reason, let's say these are lines for upcoming games
ucla +3.5
wyo +3.5
ill +2
for the average Joe, or the square bettor...
But when you log in, the lines are
ucla +2
wyo +2.5
ill +1
Because I play alot of dogs and plays that are against the public consensus.
If I take these games at the lines they offered me, and the public take the fave at the first set of lines, the book has a shot to middle on 3 in both the UCLA and WYO games, in addition to the opportunity to push/win if UCLA loses by 2 or ILL loses by 2.
I've noticed this happening to me at bodog and it can be costly, but that's how they do business..
but I use 5dimes and I've never noticed that and their spreads are up pretty early.
