Dime Line Baseball Betting

If you bet on baseball games, this is one of the most important articles that you'll ever read. The reason we say that is because you could be WASTING money, and if that's the case, we're going to show you how to fix that problem!

Many sportsbooks deal what is called a 20 cent line. This basically means that you're paying more. Let's take a look at an example of a sportsbook offering 20 cent lines:

Los Angeles Dodgers +110
Atlanta Braves -130

If you bet $100 on the Dodgers and they win, you'll make $110. If you bet on Atlanta and they win, you'll profit $100.

Now let's take a look at a MLB dimeline and show you how it works:

Los Angeles Dodgers +120
Atlanta Braves -130

See how the Dodgers odds pay more? A dime line basically means that you're odds are separated by 10 cents per dollar that you're trying to win. MANY sportsbooks offer this valuable option (10 cent line). Unfortunately, many sportsbooks offer 20 cent lines too, which cuts into your profits and makes the game harder to beat. You're basically getting juiced with more commission.
