\'\'\'\'\'Big Arb through 5dimes\'\'\'\'\'
Apparently, the good folks over at 5dimes [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] didn't realize that the #2 seed is now gone from the Midwest bracket
under their props, at the bottom of the menu right now, you can place a bet on #7248-any other seed (besides #1 and #2) wins Midwest Region at +435 Florida to win the Midwest is available at -240 or better with minimal line shopping (I got -230) guess what? That covers all possibilities -230 to +435 is HUGE

Arb is short for Arbitrage.
Check out the forum FAQ for details on what an Arb is as well as a ton more of good information...

thanks MT2R. [/ QUOTE ] you're welcome I was just doing my usual number-chugging on the props to see what I could find and I had to read that line about 5 times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. It's funny because 5dimes has Florida's odds to win the region listed about 5 lines above. I cannot realize they don't know that those two odds should be exactly the same as they are exactly the same bet with the Badgers gone. Good times.

Re: \'\'\'\'\'Big Arb through 5dimes\'\'\'\'\'
I have a question about cancelling bets by the way. I was in mexico for the past 7 days, didnt do much betting but one day I found a clear mistake at betcris. I was checking the alternate lines that that create for games. The line for georgia was -10.5 -110. Then they also had -16.5 +230 and the opponent was +16.5 -250 (these are just estimates that Im remembering off the top of my head). They also had the line -4.5 +240 and then opponent +4.5 +235 (again estimates). Well I put a pretty large wager on -4.5 +240, which was obviously an incorrect line. The wager was cancelled after the game. Was this stupid of me? If I would have lost, Im guessing they would have taken the money? Would an arb have worked? Thanks guys.

Re: \'\'\'\'\'Big Arb through 5dimes\'\'\'\'\'
Rush,
Most books will always cancel "obviously incorrect lines". If you see something like +240 when its supposed to be -240, odds are very high that its not going to go through. This one is a little more marginal, but as TheRover says is still likely to get canceled. Best choice is usually to sit on the +EV line, and then arb later if the line sticks. Real dangerous to try an arb with a line that has a high likelihood of getting canceled... you'll obv be exposed on the other side
