Anyone remember......
The old school lines where the fav would be -1.5 and the dog only +1?

LMAO

I cant believe I used to bet that crap......MLs in hockey with locals in the regular season didnt exist really.

This was probably back 13-14 years ago if I recall

Damn I wasnt very clear lol.....I was talking about NHL lines and it was disgusting.

Fav would be -1/2 and dog even and the game would end in a tie and nobody would win their bets......a bookies dream.

My local used to get pissed b/c we'd ask about NHL lines........I think he actually made the shit up sometimes b/c he was always +1 or -1. Back then we were betting $25 a game, so we weren't exactly killing him.

The top teams were always -1.5 @ home and the dog +1 both paying even money.

Think about that....these days nearly the worst PL pays +160 or so. LOL at me thinking no juice on hockey.

Young and Naive

PEACE
