Possibility of a No Juice Sportsbook

I was wondering if anyone thinks that there might come a time where sportsbooks offered no juice. Instead of making their money via the vig, they charged a set amount per bet (i.e. each wager cost $2, returned if the wager wins or mayber a 25-cent fee win or lose) or perhaps a monthly membership fee to be able to make wagers at the book.

Thoughts?

If it is a set fee per wager then it is still vig, just in the form of lower vig for higher wagers. The membership fee idea is interesting, but in reality that is the same. The more wagered the greater the reduced "vig". If a book did that they'd have an interest in booking as little as possible and as a result would probably have low limits, few offerings, downtime, late lines, etc etc etc. We'll just have to settle for the next best thing -- Pinnacle.

Actually i'm surprised not too see more of this in different ways. There just aren't a lot of guys getting into this wiht innivative ideas to bring customers in. If i was starting a book i would have all kinds of crazy specials and no juice deals with special restrictions.

Bet Flamingo offered no juice and now they are gone stiffing everyone. If it looks too good it probably is.

krackerjack,

"no chance in hell" is correct.

betPCI offers no-juice wagering for football and basketball.

The monthly fee ($39.95) would entitle you to make all of your online bets for those sports up to $100 with no juice.

If you elect to participate in the offer, please use our call-center for any bets greater than $100. Those will be processed at the normal vig.

We also process all payout requests instantly seven days a week (during normal business hours).

Please write or call for more information about our company.

Best wishes,
The Management at betPCI

There's a difference between "no juice" and reduced juice. I'm not knocking your product but if it costs to bet then that's juice.

IMO.............these no-juice threads should be locked and books that offer no-juice/reduced-juice should be dipped in tar and feathered.....then horse-whipped......and forced to book nothing but paddle tennis.........

I think Krackerjack meant a no Jews sportsbook not a no juice sportsbook. That way there would only be losers playing.
