If a favorite is -160 the dog is +140. If the favorite is -112, what is the dog? Not sure how to figure out other side of wager when it's between -101 and -119 on the fav :laughing:

    -112 on a dime line would be +102 if I'm understanding your question. just like -109 would be -101 on a str8 dime line on an 8cent line it would +101 that same -109. If your betting into a 20c line Stop it first of all. on a 20 cent line -112 there would be no dog the team other would be -108.

    Don't know if I answered your question because it seems very simplistic and I don't mean that in a bad way.

    That's what I'm saying. My bookie is saying anything between -101 and -120, the dog is +100. Then anything -121 and above, just subtract 20 cents to get dog..... It doesn't make sense.

    So today the Rays were listed as the favorite at -101. Does that make Orioles -119? Wouldn't they be the fav then? I'm looking at scoresandodds.com. Sorry but I need to understand as my book uses that site as our lines.

    So your saying your getting even money if the favorite is -112 or -115 your getting even money on the dog. Sounds weird but it's his store. well if he's using pennies then -121 the dog would be +101. Using a 20 cent is not the best thing to do but there are times that the dog is the same price as a dime line. But personalty I would sit down with him and tell him what you want I'm sure he's aware of a str8 dime line but it's hard for me to give my opinion not knowing how you bet and what amounts. Good Luck with this guy.

    Yes, and I wonder how many players are on his sheet. But you said that you get even money until it hits -121 so don't you get Baltimore at +100 I'm confused with this guy Baltimore would be the higher price so in that case I guess T.B would be even money sounds like a F**** up situation.
