The are even odds of -120 being offered, no wonder it takes forever to try and establish a balance. To show everybody how this site ALWAYS win, if you make a .50 cent bet at -115 you win .43 cents and they win .57 cents, but wait it gets even better at -120. If you bet .50 cents, you win only .41 cents and they win .59 cents, That means you have to win 3 out of 5 bets JUST TO STAY EVEN. I think with all the things in the favor of the site owners (to many to name now) it would be nice to see better odds for half time and quarter time bets.

	BobJ Hall-of-Fame 2012-03-25 03:25 pm	"Halftime lines tend to be easier to beat and therefore have more juice" I like to see your proof of that statement. If that was true there would be people with a lot more money in the balances.

	33scaggs Hall-of-Fame 2 2012-03-27 06:12 pm	i like halftime bets...................
	BobJ Hall-of-Fame 2012-03-27 11:53 pm	I like halftime bets also, I just wish the haircut wasn't as big as it is.
	markm1529 Hall-of-Fame 2 2012-03-28 12:36 am	I guess my perspective is that I'm betting with "their money" anyway, so I don't mind the halftime bet odds.
	PitchBlack2011 Hall-of-Fame 2 2012-03-28 01:01 am	They used to have (-110) halftime lines...but those days are gone I guess I think too many people were cashing out too fast...so they made it harder...I would love to see them come back...
	BigChina Hall-of-Fame 2 2012-03-28 01:18 am	all the odds offered up on FSB are not true odds, they are FSB odds. in the rules it states this clearly. i know for a fact a 2 team parlay ( both teams -110 ) pays 13/5 for a .50 bet you should get back $1.80 .. on FSB that same parlay will bring you back maybe $1.60 ...
	PitchBlack2011 Hall-of-Fame 2 2012-03-28 01:29 am	Actually Hawks the Full Game odds are pretty much the same as a real book...it's the 1st Quarter and Half Game odds that are inflated...
	willr Hall-of-Fame 2 2012-03-28 01:29 am	True of all bets on this site. Odds with the vig are there for everyone to see. If you don't like the number or the vig, move on. Vegas odds are moving to higher vigs on halftime covers (maybe not as bad as here, but nonetheless).
	euclid17 Hall-of-Fame 2 2012-03-28 03:33 am	Actually -115 on both sides is NOT 30% off the top! Only the losing side pays the juice or vig. On 2 $100 bets, each side putting up 115 to win 100, a total of 230 is wagered. 215 will be paid to the winner, the original 115 and his winning 100. So the house only keeps 15 out of 230, or only about 6.5 percent.
	kser Hall-of-Fame 2012-03-28 12:53 pm	Ya better half lines would be tight
	uncalltheway Semi-Pro 2012-03-28 01:54 pm	yea thats whats up. stick it to the man. (jk i just want my .02)
	7xPadre Hall-of-Fame 2 2012-03-28 03:20 pm	I don't like Halftime bets because I seem to lose them all the time.
	RampageRomo Hall-of-Fame 2 2012-03-28 05:48 pm	Just don't bet the halftime lines. The reason for the juice is the fact that second halves are often unpredictable.
	mardygilyard Rookie 2012-03-28 07:16 pm	Half time bets are much more risky it seems
	Watch420 Hall-of-Fame 2012-03-28 09:59 pm	if the juice is higher then that means the bet is less risky. so if the juice is higher for half bets then that means the bet is less risky.
	JordanWesch Hall-of-Fame 2012-03-30 10:31 am	halftime bets can go either way, which makes it fun. this site is free and fun
	crazy222 Semi-Pro 2012-03-30 12:26 pm	I like halftime bets,too.......
