Bookmaker Coin Flip Prop

I am a big bookmaker/CRIS fan and the way they run their shop. The fact they are doing what they do in the pro manner they do it in the US with the current climate gets a huge thumbs up from me.

Have to say though I would hope we could reduce the VIG on the Super Bowl coin flip prop. -115 juice for a coin toss is ridiculous!

    Why should they? Tons of bettors will play just to get action from the start.

    I dont mind when books defend themselves against games/props that are beatable. Its not their job to hand out money. But something like this is a tax on the dumb donks who don't know any better. Sure they can get away with it, just doesn't seem right. -110 each way would be wrong imo too.

    Got HEADS -101 5Dimes and they don't show the coin flip. Still waiting for 5Dimes to grade it.

    They were waiting for the market to pound the number into shape.

    Betonline.com has heads/tail +100. No juice.

    Back in the day, Intertops used to have one side at +105 as a small promo ($50 limit).

    It's been heads the last 3 years, prior to that it was tails 9 times in an 11 year period (useless info, I know...)
