The new lines service looks great, if only I could understand it. http://therxforum.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

For example it shows Mil 9u-105
Cub -270

So the Brewers/Cubs game is -105 for under 9 and you can bet the Cubs at -270.

But what about the over and the line on the Brewers? Do you have to know the book's spread and work it out for yourself?

there is a thread explaining a little bit about this in the offshore sportsbooks forum. I would post the link, but I'm on my webtv right now and I cant copy printed text. I believe that for baseball they dont have enough room to post the dog ML, but someone that is more technically experienced with the project could probably explain it better.

You have to know what type of lines the book is using. If it is 10cent line just add or subract the line posted. In other words if hanging 9u-110
the comeback or over is 9o+100, but each book has different lines and they change as the odds go up. In other words you have to go to each book to find out what the comback # is.

Hope that helps.
