not trying to be a jerk but just leveling the playing field for those of us that use other books.

no, you get a better line because you can make your own line. much better. so if you find someone you want to bet even up, you pay 1% juice

badlands - that was part of my question.  ive never used them.
but it seems like it's 1% not 2%.
 
i like lana as much as the next guy.  he is a great capper.
but what would you guys think if you knew someone was posting their winnings wrongly on the forum.  maybe all of us that use other books could just add 10 cents to each line we get.

No doubt. France really disappointed though. That is a game they needed considering the group they are in. I thought the Italy/Netherlands game would draw moreso then France who I thought even with injuries still outclassed Romania. I hit on Portgual over weekend, so 1-1 in Euro 2008 so far.

That French game was awful. I didnt have money on it or anything, it was just a boring and slow moving game

i totally understand where you're coming from... and i too have seen what you mentioned as well... i am not from the states and online acct is just a b1tch... but i guess i'd do whatever it takes.. haha.. cheers

you can make your own spreads, but someone has to match you. football is not 1%. not sure what is it, i thought it was 3%. football gets the action baseball just doesn't get.
