Have 3-team NFL teasers at 5D always been +165? I'm new there.
They have a ton of different options, but 3-team 6pt teasers where ties reduce pay out at +180.The problem is they shade their lines away from Wong levels. So, instead of +2 at most books you might get +1 (-120) or something. I assume the added vig lowers the teaser odds accordingly.EDIT: I think different people get different teaser odds from them. I forgot about that. I'll double check what I'm getting there.EDIT AGAIN: When I hover over the 3-team, 6pt teaser (ties reduce) option to get the payout card, it shows +180 for me. I confirmed this when I went to place a teaser bet with 3 teams. Bet $100 to win $180.

OK so we are looking at -400ish. So long as the Ducks make the game the +140 you can get right now is a great value. Of course they have 3 decent teams left so it's not without risk.

I double-checked and they're showing +165 for me. I've had an account open there for like two weeks.

You are going to do some math on parlaying moneylines to see what value difference there specificly is.
When I put money in at the start of the NFL season, they had a deposit bonus going on. I went into live chat to ask them about it, and they said if they applied it to my account that I wouldn't get the reduced vig option or something. So, they gave me a choice and I declined the signup bonus. Maybe I get better odds on teasers there as a result. I don't know. It's strange.I get +165 for 3-team, 6.5 point teasers (ties reduce)I double-checked and they're showing +165 for me. I've had an account open there for like two weeks.

Do most of the other sites pay +180 still? Any recommends on where I should move to? My unit is small ... very small.

I thought tomorrows games were tonight. Was all excited and ready, then i saw there were no 1st half, quarter, or props up.
I'm in on Ball St. I did get them at -3.5 sunday night and -5 monday morning. not as attractive at -6 but prolly still worthy. ML and teased should be solid here. Northern Illinois have been ATS monsters but my initial lean (sunday night) is towards the rockets and +10.5-11. Northern well rested off a bye but you never know how that shakes out with college kids. Spot in Mac championship game on the line. I expect Northern to win, but the points look tough not to take.

Once every couple of weeks I go into covers.com forums looking for a nugget. Once in awhile I'll find some sound reasoning and a decent pick that allows me to make a decision on a game, but mostly I just go there for the shtick. Honestly if some of those guys bet they'll be bankrupt or in jail in less than three years, what a bunch of ####birds.
Tonight some guy shows up with his first post and says he's 45-16 this year and he knows this because he wrote it all down in his "spreadsheet." GTFO

NCAAB has pretty weak lines compared to the other major sports, but you would have to really stick with teams you know something about rather than try to beat 300+ teams. One major factor for me personally is understanding home court advantage. In other sports, they can toss a generic X amount of points to the home team and account for it. Their are college teams who never lose at home and it's worth double digit points. Other teams play in front of empty gyms and literally play better every season on the road. The lines do a terrible job of accounting for that because it is subjective. Anyway,going Duke tonight

This line moved to Houston -1, then to SJST -1 then to SJST -1.5 then to -2. I meant to bet it at SJST +1 then was looking up some CFB stuff and forgot. I grabbed the Spartans -1.'gussy said:

Not at all, forgot about that the next day. I have no rhyme or reason for tailing people on CBB most times, but afternoon hoops seemed like a good time to try a couple. Now I'd like Gussy to get me another one. Keep up the good work.Partial repayment for being a doosh during the WS'tjnc09 said:THERE HE IS!'tjnc09 said:

Good call.
I decided to end the day up the money I lost on that parlay yesterday thanks to tjnc.

Good call.
down by 2 now with 17 seconds left. i am not watching the game, but they have made up a lot of ground in a short amount of time. And i got a bit of a hill to climb to get out of the hole from the pitt teasers i had in. I got stung with having them in 2 previous teasers, and adding 3 to next Sundays games.

Yeah it wasn't a great NFL week for me either. Can't complain today though, followed three plays where I knew nothing about the teams and went 2-1. If I could do that every day I'd be loaded!Good call.

Just wanted to give some props to kurt and RB. I had a good month last month and money showed up no problems. I know some in this thread aren't all that happy about what RB offers but as someone who's currently getting stiffed by a sportsbook getting paid is always the most important thing and kurt/RB seem to have that covered.

Ohio U. +7. I know Ball St. seems to be the momentum play but I think the spread has moved based on their big win against Toledo last week. Both teams average 5.7 yards per play on offense but Ohio is only allowing 5.1 while Ball St. allows 6.5. Last 2 times these teams have played it's been a 3 point game. I just think the 7 is too many points. I got it at -125 which doesn't excite me, but I think it's a win.

Over 67½ -110What number did you get? It was 65 when I saw your post before school this morning. The Huskies might hit that by themselves.'The Ref said:

It's not a public book, a local who's stiffing me out of 14k. Been doing this for 8 years now and it's the first time i've been stiffed which considering some of the situations I've been in is pretty good. Just wish it wasn't so much moneyGood to know.'lumpy19 said:

Nice October Lump. Appreciate the kind words.Quick note and I will make it short as I prefer to not use this space as a public sounding board. We offer all the major sports,straight bets, quarter bets, 1st/2nd half bets, parlays, teasers, team totals, round robins, action reverse, if win only, and others. Not to mention you play on credit and if you don't have slow pay issues you will always be able to play on credit. As far as payouts are concerned each one of you with an account knows you collect at month's end in full. So I am not sure what anyone might be unhappy with. Some may have not been happy with losing props. I think most know why they are no longer available. If there are any other issues you would like to discuss or are not happy with just PM or e-mail me. Don't post here as I don't want to use this space for that. We keep adding customers, so I am guessing nobody is too terribly upset, but I would still like your input. Thanks - K'lumpy19 said:

Ohio +7 is a strong play. I got Ball State teased and I'm happy with that as well.The Total in the NIU game is up 3 points since this AM. Last time these two teams played it was a huge scoring game. 100 points if I recall right.
