Thanks Gamble - I agree with crossing the 0 as well.

Came across Pleasers (at 5Dimes) and wanted to ask y'all what you think.
A pleaser is described below for those that don't know...
Pleasers - A pleaser is a group of football and/or basketball side straight bets combined into one bet. The difference between a pleaser and a teaser is that with a pleaser, the line you bet against for each individual wager is moved against your favor from 6-7½ points. If the regular line is -10 and you play a 6-point pleaser, then your line would be -16. So let's say I chose the following sides (in bold) as a 6 pt pleaser: Dallas -3 @ Oakland 46 1/2 Philly -7 1/2 @ Cincy 42 Denver -4 @ Kansas City 43 1/2 My pleaser would read: Dallas -9 Cincy -1 1/2 Kansas City -2 Now, it sucks adding more points to cover onto the teams you like, but the payouts are almost 3 times as good as a standard parlay. Parlay payouts (5Dimes): 2 = 2.64-1 3 = 6-1 4 = 12.28-1 5 = 24.35-1 Pleaser payouts (5Dimes): 6 points 2 = 6-1 3 = 17-1 4 = 45-1 5 = 120-1 6.5 points 2 = 13-2 3 = 19-1 4 = 55-1 5 = 150-1 7 points 2 = 7-1 3 = 21-1 4 = 63-1 5 = 180-1 7.5 points 2 = 8-1 3 = 26-1 4 = 80-1 5 = 240-1 The payouts are obviously much better than a parlay, but is it worth it to put a little down on a 2 or 3 teamer each week during football and basketball season? I don't like parlays and rarely play them (2 or 3 teams at the most), might touch a teaser every now and then (again, 2 or 3 teams) - but have never messed with pleasers. Any info or stories would be great - thanks.

I don't even have an account with 5Dimes, but called them a month ago to ask if they have 5 inning lines in baseball. I was on the phone for 20 minutes because they couldn't figure out what I was talking about. I broke it down to them in various ways (it's like a halftime bet for football/basketball, it's the score after the 1st 5 innings of a baseball game, etc.) - I finally got confirmation that they have those lines, but it took forever......

More than likely - but they would be playing a much tougher D than Radford did.... LSU will keep it more physical against NC than the Highlanders |

Just wondering how poker is a game of skill and not chance.... |

in General Discussion I think it has to do with folks thinking that it may ruin the purity of sports and athletic competition......

I'll agree a bit with the part about OK not being real good (media-hyped due to Griffin) - but Michigan isn't strong either.... |
