Normal = 10 cents, wide = 20 cents lines, New York = customer based lines ( shading for the northeast players )

guessing you are looking at a PPH with this info ?

If I remember correctly, the New York or sometimes called "Eastern" line is listed as 5 1/2 - 6 1/2 (lay 130, take back 110); 6-7 (lay 140, take back 120), etc. It's still a 20 cent line but written different. Everything is expressed as either the favorite to win $5 or the underdog $5 to the price. My bookie used to deal a line like that in baseball years ago.

Yes this is Correct

and agree it really hasn't been used in years as far as I know. unless of course maybe a real old school type of book

BAS, That would just be a user setting correct? Maybe PoundFoolish Agent could change it so he can use regular lines.

also they might have multiple feeds. meaning if you ask for pinny lines, a solid PPH should be able to shadow their lines, so they move with the action.
a lot of pph's are a part of a shop, and will use those lines.
