A tiny loophole discovered ...

[canada_dry]

Now you may laugh but I was able to get free juice on 10 cents of my wager today.

At wpex, there's a button for "other amount" so I clicked on it. The bet min. is $10 and since I was laying -105 odds, I would win 9.52. So I upped the bet to 10.50 to win $10. I then played with it and discovered that I could bet $10.60 to win $10.10 (no juice on that 10cents). If i bet $10.61, I'd still win $10.10. So i bet 10.60$ on Weber St. first half -2, for fun.

I know it's not alot and rather trivial but I thought I'd share. A penny saved is a penny earned!

This is how I built my whole bankroll. I can't believe you gave this secret away for free.

I used to do this on Bodog screwing with the amounts like this to try to get the smallest percentage of juice possible. Haven't really bothered with it recently however.

I once witnessed this exchange in a Las Vegas sportsbook:

CUSTOMER: Gimme the Cowboys for $50.

TICKET WRITER: You want to lay $55 to win $50, right?

CUSTOMER: No, I want to bet $50. (puts $50 on the counter)

TICKET WRITER: (shrugs, writes ticket, takes money)

CUSTOMER: (smugly shows the ticket to the writer) See? It says "Bet $50 to win $45.45". Instead of paying $5 vig, I only pay $4.55.

SUPERVISOR: (watching this exchange incredibly) Why don't you just bet $5? That way, you're only paying fifty cents in vig!
