I was just screwing around last night, and put on a baseball parlay. Their 20-cent baseball lines are a joke, but I noticed something unusual. When I picked a favorite on the run line, it let me change it to -1, instead of -1.5, with an adjusted price. I had never seen this before, and did not know that you could go -1 anywhere in baseball. I'm not a baseball bettor, I just bet small parlays for fun. But I had never seen that before. Can you do that anywhere else?

on the surface, the 20 cent line they deal appears to be a joke, anyone who watches their lines very carefully however will notice that this shop does HEAVILY over-exagerate favorites, so even with the 20 cent line, you can often find the best value on the dog with this shop.
In relation to the Buying of 1/2 runs...Yes 365 has some interesting options, However the VIG they charge you to buy those 1/2 runs is a Rip Off....STAY FAR FAR AWAY from that...

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> I'm sure you're right about the vig being high. But like I said, I just bet baseball parlays for a little action till football starts. And I sure like -1 better than -1.5. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I hear what you are saying, however I still beleive strongly that you should stay away from these options...You woudnt take a dollar Bill & throw it in the garbage simply becauz it is a Dollar Bill would You? same holds through for sports betting, I understand that these are Parlay's & they are only for fun...But why not Take the best #'s nonetheless...B365 is offering these options but ridiculously over-pricing them...I SEE ABSOLUTELY NO VALUE IN THEM....
JMHO (Just My humble Opinion)

I haven't run the numbers, and only saw them last night for the first time. I had the Angels, and they got killed, so it doesn't matter. But they were -155 on the ML and +105 at -1. It sure kicked the parlay payout up, not taking the ML, but didn't give me the discomfort of having to have a home team with 8 at-bats win by 2. Like I said, I'm sure you're probably right. I'm just gonna have to run some calculations. It sure seems like it could be a sweet deal in isolated circumstances though.
Couldn't you achieve the same result of -1.0(probably at a much better price) simply by splitting your bets between the ML and the -1.5 RL? I've done this often. For example, let's say you have -130 ML and +170 RL. Just bet 130/100 ML and 100/170. Pushes on -1 and comes out to around +117 combined.

I'm sure you could, but this is only for parlays in my case. You'd have to bet a ton of small parlays with every scenario for that to work. A push in a parlay is okay to me, because it keeps it alive.
