Which sportsbooks deal 2 different lines depending on who is making the wager, does anyone have a list? It seems to me these are ones you would not want to play at.

Dual Lines

To me, it seems like a dual line can't be all that bad. I don't have any experience with it myself, but in theory it could give you awesome options (assuming you play at more than one sportsbook). It could give you a great arb opportunities.

A number of the BetOnSports books do/did it. BetUS does. MyBookie/Nine. First Fidelity.

your are 100% correct bud, and heres something that backs up that fact:

"They have the choice to take our offer or the other side," or to go to another site, Ayre says.

as long as the Vig stays the same then I don't see what it could hurt either. I've been checking Bodog lately from a friend's computer at work and his lines are different than mine by quite a bit. another way i know is when SBR odds show Bogog and 2.10 and when I go in it is really only 2.03.

Everybody talks about dual lines like it's a horrible sin but the fact of the matter is that you see the numbers and you decide if you want them. If a set of lines you like shows good dog prices and then you get moved to a set that shows good fav prices then consider betting the fav, or simply don't give the book any action at all. It's not like they're switching you from a dimeline to a 50cent line. A player should decide on the value of a book to himself based on the nature of the lines they're seeing and not on the fact that they're seeing a line that is different from another player.

Recently one bettor wrote in a german betting forum that he has worse lines than his friend at 10Bet.

The forum I talk about is in German but nevertheless I give you here the example he brought about 10Bet:
Odds his friend got (and also odds he sees before to log in):
01/08 Marat Safin (ATP) -4.5 1.990 O 21.5 1.862
00:00 Igor Kunitsyn (ATP) +4.5 1.781 U 21.5 1.901
Odds he sees after he logged in into his account:
01/08 Marat Safin (ATP) -4.5 1.990 O 21.5 1.840
00:00 Igor Kunitsyn (ATP) +4.5 1.781 U 21.5 1.877
In case you know German you will find this thread at

Now these are the kinds of dual lines that are bad. He's getting dealt a line with more juice as both his number on the over and the under is worse. Originally Posted by kiwi

I would be really curious if 10Bet officially admits to have these kind of dual lines...

Former book BOS was the champ, they'd skew the lines by 40 cents on a baseball line.

... and I didn't know BetWWTS has dual lines - again one book more one cannot use on the long run. :-( Originally Posted by Lucas
