Alternate lines on Bovada offer bettors the opportunity to place wagers on both sides of a given betting matchup. Bettors can find alternate lines by clicking on the “Alternate Lines” link on the main Betting page.
Alternate lines are displayed as a “+” sign next to each team’s odds.
For example, if you think the Pittsburgh Penguins will beat the Montreal Canadiens in a game, you can place a bet on the Penguins at -105 and the Canadiens at +105. Alternatively, you could place a bet on the Canadiens at -115 and the Penguins at +105.
Either way, your chances of winning are equal.
The main advantage to using alternate lines is that it allows bettors to maximize their chances of winning by taking advantage of odds that are better than those offered by the bookmakers. In other words, by betting on alternate lines, bettors can increase their chances of earning money by betting against the consensus opinion.
However, there are also disadvantages to using alternate lines. For one, it can be difficult to predict which team will win a particular game.
Additionally, alternate lines may not be available for all games. Finally, it is important to remember that alternate lines are not always accurate predictors of future results.
