I believe it!
I started a thread a week ago pointing out how EZStreet gouges on the juice cost to buy on and off the 3 and 7. Plenty of other outs with much less cost to do the same pt buy.

I saw that too ...........I guess you take the good with the bad ......... The FREE 24 hour payment on Tuesdays makes up for it with me .
I am a smaller player 1-2 per game and I seldom buy points ( hard enough to get a decent ROI on 110 ) . I am pretty happy with the free payouts on Tuesdays .
One other issue I have it LATE on College lines , as of now only 3 games up .......

yeah it really is a mess with the buying hooks at EZ

but why not just take them at -7 if they win by 7 then you push, that is not the worst thing in the world, you are giving 7 points so you have to feel confident that pats blow them out, 7 points is a lot to give in the NFL so you must have capped the game and expected pats to blow them out

win by 6 you lose anyway, win by 8 you are a winner win by 7 you push...take the -7 at -115 if you like the play... goodluck

another thing i dont like about EZ is the ML you can only get ML on a few college games... i enjoy playing high juice ML parlays once in awhile for action, its very profitable...take 3 teams you know will win for example last week bama, ok st, stanford ML parlay would be perfect...but no MLs at EZ unless its a 7 point favorite or less

Although you might *feel* bettor at kickoff with -6.5 -120, if you lay the 7 -110 every time you like a favorite in this price range you'll have more money over the long haul. And of course you have to shop around and have multiple outs. Yesterday Zona was available at -6.5 and -7, BOTH at -110. But a game like this hitting the '7' doesn't happen often enough to offset the 10 cents extra you'll pay every time if you buy the hooker.

Or you can bet early, and really get value. Arizona opened at -3 -110

I got Miami at +6 -110 last week, which sucks for me but would have been good for you.

I did not place the bet with EZ. I did place it on BetOnline. I wanted to put it in with both to help get my action in for the contests but I will be dammed if I'm going to get gouged with -150

The point of this thread is that EZStreet charges .35 to buy off the 7 so you would go from
-7-110 to -6'-145.
Most other outs you pay .10 or .15 giving you -6'-120 or -6'-125.
Big difference and one of several reasons personally not using EZStreet for football.

I've never been on the Other Side of the sports window, but I'm thinking that if a sportsbook offers ANY kind of modification to base moneyline, it's for only one of two reasons

1) It gives them an incrementally better advantage
2) It gives the bettor an increased advantage


How many of us believe that the answer might just be #1?

I'm believe it gives them the same odds just a bigger hold, on an already perceived advantage.
