I read that only initial depositing of larger amount causes that bettor gets the worse lines with less value.
Is it true?
If yes what is your expectation of the safe initial deposit; or: how much did you deposit without losing the good line?
Thanx.

i only deposited $2500 and I had the soft lines for a while, but as soon as I banged a big dog for $500+ they switched me to sharp lines.

Yeah I don't think it has anything to do with deposit amount. Just betting patterns.

Some time ago I read somwhere that a bettor was limited just after big deposit (so his pattern was 0). For me it is strange too. I have couple of free thousands so I am asking, because their 15% bonus is nice, but their lines are nicer than any bonus.Originally Posted by Mudcat

You know what? I apologize. I don't know what I'm talking about on this one. I was just speculating based on what seems sensible to me but I could be way off base.Originally Posted by Lucas
One point to be made is that neither set of lines is actually "worse." The juice is the same. If a line is worse at one end, the value is that much better at the other.
But, based on what you have said, I'm guessing you want the lines that are better for underdog betting which are generally considered the "square" lines.

Yes. I see the value on dogs. + (I am not sure, but I probably also read [probably from the same source]): they use higher juice for sharps. But THAT sounds very unbelieveable and thus the whole source (which can be just too much sharp sunshine on my headOriginally Posted by Mudcat
) can be untrustworthy.
Do You think it is good idea to email them and ask them: Will I get the sharp lines if I deposit 3.5K? I am afraid that right after that stupid question I will![]()

I dont think they will cop to it. One time I was looking at their lines without logging in and I called to place a bet. She gave me a different line and I said well Im looking at your lines on the internet and its a different line. She said no sir they're the same lines. Oh ok, lol.
