Good post, Nicky kid. But baseball and hockey offer run lines and puck lines respectively. You just have to know where to get down.

They work the same way. If a game has a puck or run line of, say, 1 1/2 - 2, that means that if you bet the favorite you're laying 2. But if you're on the short end you're only getting 1 and 1/2. There's typically no vig unless it's a flat line. But now I'm getting a little too technical. Anyway, the lack of vig makes it appealing to most suckers.
