Why would anyone play bases at 20 cent shops?

Journeyman · May 27, 2003

I guarantee you the book is laughing at you!

Not one good reason to play 20 cent lines...

Compare that to an 8 cent line it adds up very fast...

MadCapper · May 27, 2003

J-Man,

I agree. I did some research on both books (Pinnacle and BHB) and although BHB offers a nice 20% sign-up bonus, the 20 cent lines kill you. Pinnacle offers 8-10 cent lines. Thats somethign we can not overlook.

Well I wouldnt exactly play baseball at a 20 cent shop on teh moneyline, but I do play and parlay the HELL out of the great props at my favorite sportsbook. Other sportsbooks that offer the dime-line, never offer these same great props nightly in baseball.

PO69 · May 27, 2003

MADCAPPER, I am not sure why you just dont play at betrio? They offer the dimeline and give you a great bonus.
Send me an email to playertobe33@cs.com

The reason why I dont play at pinnacle everyday is because I need to be able to call in my parlays late at night sometimes. I also am not on the net 20 hours a day like you journeyman.

By the way this thread isnt fair to leave here in my view since it isnt fair to most of the advertisers on this site who DONT use a 10 cent line

Guys,
There can be value found in 20 cent MLB lines, heck if the lines are "right" there can be value found in 50 cent lines ...

Let's say you like the dog Pirates today over the Cubbies ...

Maybe Pin has +162/-172
Maybe Oly has +165/-185

... so here there is a REASON to play a 20 cent line. Of course, on average you're going to make 95%+ of you plays at Pin because the Oly lines usually overlap Pin's, but not always ...

there is occassional value to be found.

Bonuses
20c usually means a square line. Infact, I find some of the best lines at 20 cent line shops.

I would not recommend any newbie play at a 20 cent shop however...

PO69 · May 27, 2003

Nice example Lander and off the record here, the Pirates are probably a great play today!

By the way Lander, I am ashamed of you for making almost 4000 posts in under 6 months! You are on about a 26 post a day streak. That is embarrassing! Especially since i would think that on some days you might not post at all! I picture you as being about 75 year old retired winter Texas or something being able to post that many times in 5 months!

neilm · May 27, 2003

totals, run lines, reverse run lines, props, series prices, 4.5/5 inning lines

jjgold · May 27, 2003

I would not play at those shops but some do offer great props so you have to play there and sometimes might get some value on a total, rare though.

Ok, I admit it I am a loser, but in fairness I wrote a program to automate 2300+ of the posts I lost (yeah, I know - a nerd and a loser) when Ken banned me for changing my name to Russ ****** and pretending to come out of the closet with Devil. I've matured a lot since that incident & the one where I pretended to be Peep, and the one where I pretended to be Ken.

So, in reality I've been around since last June & have 2300+ automated "xxx bottles of beer on the wall" posts & 2200 real ones (still a loser, but not as much as say General

).

As for Texas - not in this lifetime I'm as Yankee as they come. Besides, I'd be afraid to turn out like 41 or 43 (but better looking)

JoeyC · May 27, 2003

20 cent side books can be used for Totals and Run Lines.

When I bet RL's I use my Cris account for example but I won't bet with them on sides

Journeyman · May 27, 2003

players loves to call out the losers, Lander...the kid keeps score of everything but his record...

I didn`t know you were actually banned as well?

Is that where you were?

lander · May 27, 2003

Journey,
I was banned Dec 8th, and the "new and improved" Lander was created Dec 9th.

Remember, everyone thought I was an imposter because I had zero posts?? .. lol

Journeyman · May 27, 2003

yes I remember that I didn`t realize you were banned prior to that...I thought you were just clowning, now it makes sense!

PO69 · May 27, 2003

You know actually I thought that you had been around much longer than what I saw on the "record."

Everyone calls me kid, but I would assume that mid30's to late 30's is hardly a kid

trytrytry · May 27, 2003

playersonly Question.

What shop has the baseball props daily that you like to have and like to parlay. Id like to have a look too at that. Thanks

PO69 · May 27, 2003

Well my bread-and-butter shop,

playersonly.com

But they wont have all of them up until about 2 more hours usually. You can even bet on fantasy baseball as well each night!

PO69 · May 27, 2003

I forgot to mention the book that I aleeted everyone too 2 months ago now.

linesmaker.com is basically the same thing as playersonly.com

Same lines, same phone number etc! They offer a free $200 wager as well.

Halifax, I dont know much about the fanteasy betting since I dont bet those lines, but I think it has to do with one player versus another in a given game
