bodog will switch you to the sharp line if they determine you to wager too large a percentage of your bankroll on a single game (generally a sure sign of a scalper or otherwise advantage player). the 5-10c shift in juice turns bodog from one of the easiest to arb to one of the more difficult. same deal with bowmans and a handful of other books.

not sure how to address the dual line issue for this thread in the long run, just wanted to emphasize that it exists.

Bodog is going to suck then bc its juice was high before.

Ok. I am thinking about this.

I am seeing Cini -105 and TB-115 which is 20 cents of juice which is normal (-110 and -110).

Is everyone else see TB -105 and Cini -115? That is really weird. They are basicly charging me more juice on the dog. I dont see how I have be label as sharp. I am negative there as I always arb/lose it to another book. I do usually bet the dogs there, bc they have(had) good prices on the dogs.

when your account is profiled, the juice is shifted, not added.

it has nothing to do with whether you win or lose at bodog (they give reload bonuses to net positive accounts as well). by wagering large amounts of your deposit (10-20% or more) on single games, you are taking advantage of good dog lines created from the large pool of square bettors that play there. so they can make even more profit on both sides by offering the worst price to either type of account without them "knowing" about it.

despite this, bodog is still worth arbing in the long run because of the 10% bottomless bonus that is never revoked.

[sfwusc]

Any chance that sending an email saying a friend is getting different lines would help my case to be called a square?

[playersare]

I already emphasized it to you twice - do you bet large amounts of your deposits on single games? if so, you'll get the sharp line whether you like it or not. a "normal" bettor will wager based on a per-unit basis, usually 1-2% of his bankroll at a time. this person would get the square line, presumably even if he was a consistent winner.

[sfwusc]

I am without a doubt betting large % of my roll on few games. That said I want the square lines back.
