It really should not matter, but I guess some books might not see it that way. When a book hangs a number like the 175 mentioned above they are obvioulsy asking for UNDER money. Where it comes from should not matter. An opener is another story, most books have certain players that they use to sharpen numbers. If you don't want money under 175 then don't hang it. imho.

I don't know why it should get you banned. I mean their are books like Skybook where you get the 1/2 point and they call you back after you have an account and want you to join Rio also. What do they think your going to do with 2 half point accounts when the line moves ? I don't know just a thought.
The Books will take house and home given half the chance. They're beating a majority of people on a regular basis. But somehow in this convoluted deal, players are supposed to baby the Books. "I won five dimes tonight, better lose at least three back tomorrow or the Book will be upset with me."
Imo, here's the thing. If you have half a brain the Books will not like you. Fair enough. If I was a Book I'd only want morons and losers too.

I'm with Wilheim on this one.....if you don't want under money on 175 don't offer it.....
As far as one player hitting a middle....what's the difference if one person won the over 171 and another person won on under 175.....or if one player won on both....???
The book put itself in a position where a polish middle existed and this time polish wins....
As a bettor all you're doing by betting the middle is taking a 20-1 shot on your risk (the juice) and betting the score lands on 172...173...or 174....you get like 9-1 if 171 or 175 hits.....anything else you lose the juice......
What's this big issue about trying a middle at one shop?
If the shop doesn't want middling, don't move the number.....if you offer multiple lines on the same game, expect that you might pay both if it lands on any of them....if you pay the same guy twice or two guys once, you as a book are out the money, plain and simple.
Is this any different than hedging a parlay on it's final leg.....taking a guaranteed profit rather than risk losing all of it should the last pick flop? Let's say you had a parlay that paid 10,000......you hedge the last game so either way you make around 5000....should the book be pissed that you cashed out with 5000 from the parlay or be grateful that maybe now they won't lose 10,000?
Maybe those amounts aren't high enough for a book to haggle over....but what about hedging your last game in the same shop as you have your parlay placed? Taboo?
