Titans and it only means 7 FOR 1,so in actuality I am only getting 6 to 1 vs. 10 -1 at a place,but out of respect to Jack, I will NOT say the name...I have never seen such a way to get around 'jamming up'prices.Dam, I go to Vegas I Know I am getting 7-1 on tenn. not this 'hidden6-1' play..Oh well, live and learn,but am I wrong,I REALLY don't think so.....Spanky..(the dumbass I guess)
Why does Bettmaker.com show 7-1 on......

I guess you just have to look at it as a business. If I were the owner of a sportsbook and I could tempt people to bet with a line that looks better than it really is, I would probably do the same thing.
As bettors, we attempt to get the most for our money and the sportsbook attempts to get most of our money
It really just boils down to caveat emptor I suppose.

Well said.. I was just trying to use one of the 'books' that Jack does business with ,Oh well ,we learn new things everyday..Spanky.....
Spanky/Texas,
Slow down boys....
The last we're trying to do is cheat anyone out of money.
Our futures odds are displayed in European style. When you see 7.0, that is your return on your bet INCLUDING your stake. So if you bet 1 (which is what the system assumes) you win 6 plus the 1 you bet. That's where the 7 comes from.
Spanky--I think it's only fair that you explain to everyone that after you choose your bet you're taking a "Wager Confirmation Screen".
On the "Wager Confirmation Screen" it very clear displays the amount bet & amount to win. In your case, it would've shown the true payout. i.e. If you bet $5, it would've said bet $5 to win $30. You still have to click "Confirm Bet" before making the bet official.
Nevertheless, I do apologize for the confusion & I'd be more than happy to delete the wager for you if you felt you didn't get what you expected there.
Myself & our staff would never do anything that might result in jeopardising the reputation of our company.
Please feel free to contact me personally & I assure you the situation will be resolved to your satisfaction.
Kind regards,

I never said a word about anyone getting cheated. Books are free to post lines however they please. Hell, I have an account at betmaker and I haven't had any problems at all
