Default NEED HELP: mods and baseball bettors

i need to open another account soon, and my question is....who, other than 5Dimes offers -110 or less on BASEBALL TOTALS. I checked the sbr reviews and it seems that most of them are doing totals at 20% juice.

should i wait until spring, will they be giving specials? 20% is ridiculous and not worth even playing at that vig. even betjam does totals at 20%.

any LEGIT books to reccomend?

thanx in advance.

Matchbook is by far the most mandatory for MLB.

-110/-110 is less than 5% juice. Surely matchbook can do better than that.

Yes, they can do MUCH better than that. Not to quibble, but -110/-110 means on any bet you're laying 55 to win 50. I've been out of school a while, but back in the day that was 10 percent.

Calculating Juice 101 - For folks who have been out of school a while
If a book offers -110/-110

Player A bets $110 on Team A
Player B Bets $110 on Team B

The book holds $220

Regardless of the result the book will payout $210

Books payout is 210 divided by 220 = 95.46%

Juice = 100 - payout (95.46) = 4.54%
