This is not uncommon and you will see it all the time on the betting boards.
They had Golden State -1.5 -120,they were probbaly getting hit with Golden
State bets and instead of moving to line to -2 -110 and take a chance of
getting middled,they just raised the Vig on the bet,the line on the Golden
State was most likely +1.5 +100 (no vig).Nothing uncommon nor illegal
Just an fyi...
I know this is a Video Poker forum but I just wanted to share this with
everyone.
I decided to bet $100.00 on the NBA Golden State Warriors to lead the
Phoenix Suns by 1.5 at the end of the first half.
I placed my bet and got my ticket. When I looked at the ticket, instead of
Bet 100.00 to win 89.00, it showed only a potential win of 83.72.
When I questioned the worker, he said money was too heavy on the Warriors
and that I had to give -120 as well as the points.
Needless to say I was shocked.
This is the first time I've seen this where you have to give the points and
increased vig on a basketball bet. With baseball coming up to, sports
betters need to be aware of this.
My limo driver said he had never heard of this also.
