to Sportingbet ie golf

[DOGS THAT BARK]

I see this week you have went from 22cent lines to 34cent lines.Don't want to pick on you cause most books or 30 cent and an occasional book or two 20 cents but will pose this question to you since you have been doing golf before most books ever opened and are a premier golf out.
Why is golf the only sport penalized by these extreme lines.I am very curious and would sincerely appreciate objective answer.
Thank you in advance.

Hmm, maybe they are getting beaten?

Is it easily beatable on matchups?

Or they lost lots on Tiger and decided to tighten up this week?

Good question DTB.

Was very close to opening an account with Sportingbet now that they have Mastercard available online, but inconsistencies such as this is enough to put me off for now.

Some might think a few cents here and there might not make much difference but I ask Buckeye to run some #'s on the following scenerio.Punter makes 500plays @$100 a pop all on pickems and hits 55%. here are results

Profits
$1413 for 30 cent -115 lines
$2500 for 20 cent -110 lines
$3690 for 10 cent -105 lines
Wonder what the fellow who said the 10% juice was stronger than death would say about 34%
