Nickel Line
Slang for a 5-cent line, where vig is split as -102.5/+100 or similar. The tightest mainstream pricing available.
Like a broker charging a $1 commission instead of $10 -- same trade, much better deal.
Why it matters
Nickel lines minimize vig and maximize your expected return on every bet placed.
How DMP uses this
DMP identifies markets with nickel-line pricing to highlight the best-priced opportunities.
Common mistake
Assuming nickel lines exist everywhere -- they are typically only on major markets at sharp books.
