    Default Shame on Bookmaker/BetCRIS

    How can anyone post a 30 cent line on a Super Bowl prop involving the coin flip?

    COIN TOSS WILL LAND HEADS OR TAILS
    3:30 PM2 /03 /08
    # Money Line
    23029 COIN LANDS HEAD -115
    23030 COIN LANDS TAILS -115
    TEAM TO WIN THE COIN TOSS
    3:30 PM2 /03 /08
    # Money Line
    23031 GIANTS WIN COIN TOSS -115
    23032 PATS WIN COIN TOSS -115

    I'm sure they must have a very low limit on this to prevent a big hit, right

    Wonder if the public has a bias on this?

    What, -110 isn't high enough? This is one prop that factually is 50/50, so at -110, anyone would go broke eventually.

    Does anyone have the stats from previous supebowls? Is the AFC or NFC winning more tosses?

    Word on the street is the public will push heads to -150 before game time.

    gameday made the opposite mistake. they have the cointoss and ball first props and even money, dan then you get loyalty points for betting them. So now what you do is every bet you make you parlay half the bet to heads and parlay half to tails and make an extra couple bucks every play.

    same result

    110=100 straight

    or

    -110 with +100 parlays

    55=155 twice

    155-55=100, same as straight, lose 110 or win 100.

    your right about that, but you can still parlay giants with heads, pats with heads, pats with tails, and giants with tails, win one break even, and pick up the loyalty points.

    Also I guess you don't pick up extra loyalty points but it is a pretty nice way to circumvent the limits if they cut you as well.

    no there are 2 different sets of +100/+100 lines, you parlay them to each other at 3/1 for 4 combinations and pick up the loyalty points

    Tough decision choosing between head and tail.

    That would work then, but the lines may not be parlayable, you may piss off the book, gain is small, it may have limits. Probably not worth it.

    props are 30 cents lines. that is the standard for those books.

    i doubt the line will move, but if one side get plus money for some reason, i'll bet the limit on that.

    hahaha that is a good one man





    I say heads, but you know, .30 is a bit too much for my wagers. I typically like to wager about .10 so you know that is a little high.
