LAD - pitching change (else huge overlay)

[nakor]

Pinnacle has Los Angeles +1.5 -108 (was -105) with Nomo and Ortiz listed. The moneyline for the game is Los Angeles +111.

Is there definitely going to be a P/C? Otherwise I'm going to pile on huge and hedge it tomorrow. I did send them a note regarding the line but have not heard back yet.

Thanks.

Check it now! must have gotten your e mail!!!!

Yes, they've taken the runline down. No word yet on whether my bet will stand (bet 5 units on LAD +1.5 -108), but I have until 10pm Friday to find out. I am planning to hedge either by taking SFO -1.5 +160 or so, or I may bet SFO -115 and risk .75 units to win 10.

Well, apparently they're going to let it stand. I got this email from Pinnacle which shows a lack of understanding. I went ahead and bet SFO -1.5 +173 for a guaranteed 1.2 unit profit (unless there's a pitching change or rain-shortened game.)


Dear Sir,

We apologize for the delay answering your e-mail.

We checked our lines on the LA/San Francisco game and they are posted
correctly.
It is normal to have the price on the pointspread as a (+) line and, on the
other hand, to be (-) on the Money Line. This makes more attractive to bet
on the moneyline for the favorite team.

We hope this answers your question.

Best Regards.

Hi,

Just to let you know I think there is an error in your line
for this game. You have LA +111 for the game, but LA +1.5
runs at -108. I did note that it went from -105 to -108 but
I would imagine this is probably an error.

I did bet $100 on the game - please let me know if this bet
will stand or if it will be voided.

GOOD LUCK!! LOOKS LIKE MONEY EITHER WAY!
