C, D, MF, et Al. CAUTION! LONG POST

It's also a bit counterintuitive since the odds next to the favorite are actually the odds for the dog.

So for tonight's game, the lines there would be:

St. Louis +150
Miami -170

Wow thanks mf'er. Wonder if the bookie will understand these.

 

[roguejuror]

did you ever try a hockey bet with him?

Probably depends how old they are. That was the way lines were written before spreads.

They're also called nickel lines (based on 5). Each bet is a ratio to 5. In other words, you'd get 8.5/5 for a bet on the Pirates, and you'd lay 9.5/5 on a bet of the Phillies.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Haha. That was before my time too...

I've just read about them before.

 

[roguejuror]

I bet none of young ones in the bronx knows it either

No I didn't even try NHL. He still takes the NBA action everyday. Going to find out what lines he has for today's matchups and compare it to the paper. Maybe he uses something else.
