Don't see where the -116 came from. Please start over and explain a little more in detail what those numbers mean. I get the Rockies-1 -110 thing but that's about it. I played the Tigers this morning-1 -135 or so. Tear that one apart cause I thought that using -1 was the best bet I could make on that game. Thanks.

5 dimes has their own -1 lines. On the rockies they were offering -1 -116.

If you would of done your own -1 using their ML and RL lines which at the time were -148 ML and +125 RL it would of added up to -110. Which is a 6 cent saving from what they are offering. Heritage you can typically save 8c's or more.

Keep telling the same about pinnacle, usually 2-3 cents better line value, when you're not taking their -1 but building your own by betting the ML/RL. Even more if shop around for the best ML/RL available ... good post since still there are plenty of people who don't realize that they're getting ripped off by betting the -1.

I think the reason you can generate a better price (at 5dimes) is that the pull-down menu where -1 is made available uses a 20 cent line. Whereas making your own line by playing the game on the ML and -1-1/2 can be done with reduced juice (10 cent line).

I had to re-think this. There's still an edge when everything is a 20 cent line, but the edge can be improved a little more with reduced juice.
