More Tease Please...
I am absolutely THRILLED to report that I have found a book that has even BETTER prices than 5Dimes on 7pt, 10pt & 13pt teasers! Not only that, but they manage their lines with FULL INTEGRITY, and do not 'tease-protect' any games! Note: As of Nov 16th, Betmania IS now tease-protecting, and essentially mirroring what 5Dimes is doing, hence making their lines much less desirable. This is in conjunction with LOWERING the allowed teaser limit to HALF ($250 vs. $500) until the day of the games, which they enacted on Nov. 9th. Furthermore, no open-slot teasers are allowed (this was in already in place at the launch of this announcement) -- this means that you can't cherry-pick the lines. Also already in place, was the fact that you can't bet the Side + Total in spreads around 7pts or more. They also don't release the lines until Monday morning (vs. Sunday night @ 5Dimes). Adding all this up, this means that Betmania teasers are now less desirable than 5Dimes teasers unless you are betting a low amount and/or getting desirable lines on the DAY of the games.
Going forward, THIS will be the book that we use to build our weekly 13pt teasers, and all tickets will now be graded at the better payout odds of -120 (Ties Push - not Lose like 5Dimes). Previously, we had been grading our tickets with 5Dimes at -130 (Ties Reduce - ticket was reduced to a 3-Team 13pt teaser paying -255 in the event of a tie, which turned out to be very rare). Because 5Dimes tease-protected a lot of games which caused them to land on key numbers often, I opted for the safer route for the sake of my followers...welp, that's no longer necessary.
The book's name is BetMania. I have done a background check on this company which has been around since 2004, and it's now owned by parent company 'BetPhoenix'...their other sister company is called 'Skybook'. Only Betmania offers these killer teaser prices however. They also have massive bonus programs for those that like them, or you can simply play with your own money. I had a lot of questions and spoke to the line manager there, along with one of the head's of customer service, 'Rachel'.
Rachael has been fabulous every step of the way, and I started booking bets with her book last weekend. Oh yeah, she's also a real honey...actual pic below.
Feel free to comment or question...
P.S. I will be updating the 'Resources' section of my weekly 'Top Tease Selections' thread with Betmania's payout menu below, and will be indicating in the 'Recommended Ticket Structure' section that Betmania's odds will now be the baseline standard for all our plays. I expect to have the WK5 thread/plays up by mid-afternoon tomorrow...regards, -v
