I have an opinion on it, but ill let others give there first. I'm not sold either way.

There is only 1 correct answer.

You only pay the juice when you win with B.
With A you pay the juice win or lose.

Example A

10 wagers @ -110 for $100 each

Win 6 = $600
Lose 4 = $440
Profit = $160

Example B
10 wagers @ +100 for $100
6 wins = $600
4 loses = $400
profit = $200 - $20 (10%) $180

The easiest know is the fact that no books are offering this.

It would be a great way for a new book to create a new gimmick.

Come to ABC sportsbook where you pay no juice.
All you have to do is give up 10% of your payout.

Also much easier to hedge and middle.

A book offering that would go out of business in 2 months.

Def a great selling point. I would have no problem running or playing under those rules.

Disagree, but I agree with B and we will leave it at that.

Well at the very least you would be able to buy out of a wager for free instead of paying the vig to get out of a bet with no line movement.

What do you disagree with that he says? If a book offered even money and wasn't tight as shit in regards to limiting sharp action, cutting players off, etc they would go out of business fast...
