no its like this
a ten cent line is say 7-8 which means you are risking 80$ to win 50$ on fav and risking 50$ to win 70$ on underdog when the line is double digits it goes to 20 cents say 11-13 which means its 130$to win 50$on fav and 50% to win 110 on underdog.thats my understanding anyway

Dime line
BC is correct, no mater how high the line goes it makes NO difference.
A dime line is when you take back 10 cents difference with the dog
Favorite -140
Dog +130
Favorite -155
Dog +145
Favorite -185
Dog +175
with a 20 cent line it goes as follows
Favorite -140 6/7
Dog +120
Favorite -185 8½/2
Dog +165
Favorite -160 7/8
Dog +140
and so on
What capone is refering to is a 20 cents newspaper line.
If you see a favorite in the paper say 7/8, your local would make you lay 80 to win 50 on the favorite, If you were to bet the dog, your local would make you lay 50 to win 60. this line is based on 5's but it is a 20 cent line.
A ture dime line(10cent line) is when the dog is 10 cents less then the favorite.
