    mlb AND nhl alternate lines?

    Hi Guys,

    Anybody know of a highly rated book (b or higher) aside from 5Dimes that offers both nhl AND mlb alternate lines?
    i'd like to be able to bet the DOGs at -1, -1.5, -2...

    thanks

    Those early season alternate -1.5 MLB lines parlay lottery tickets sound like fun.

    Come on baseball!

    thanks for the help.
    i emailed the greek and they said they dont offer alternate lines for MLB.

    do you know if they were offered last year, and maybe not for this season?

    Greek always had reverse -1.5 (meaning dog at -1.5 and favorite at -1.5) and dog +2.5/fave -2.5 in previous years, although perhaps they've gotten rid of them.

    they may not offer this year, or (and i think more likely) the CS people dont know what they are talking about. maybe ill wait till May to see if they do offer them.

    Yeah, my guess was that CS didn't understand what the poster was asking about. I'd check them out in April and see if they offer the alt lines.

    thats probably it.
    iv'e spoken to 10+ different sites (islands, europe and australia). each one said they had ALT lines. then when i ask follow ups to be sure, they have no idea what im talking about and correct themselves.
    very frustrating.

    Bookmaker used to have alternate NHL lines but I haven't seen them for a while.

    No doubt. Nothin' better than throwin' down a buck on a 5 teamer than will pay a G.

    i found that centrebet has "winning margin" which is essentially the same thing since you pick a team to win "by 2 or more". thats the closest ive found outside of 5dimes.
    just dont know if centrebet is any good.

    The winning margin odds at all books are usually terrible and a huge - EV.
