    Did Books Get Killed on Baseball Totals?

    In Spring Training? Noticed that they did not have any posted as this week went along. Early in the week, had hit some overs on specific teams I follow. Have they stopped doing totals now ... or is this short term to protect themselves? Just curious if any of the baseball experts noticed this.

    So no one ever said anything, but were they just getting abused by over bettors? The only totals I see now are for the one TV game they show a day.

    posting totals for preseason is like flipping a coin for books they see no value for them.... its so unpredictable with who is trying or who is fighting to get called up mid-way or trying to seal a starting position. Coaches are so protective with pitchers also. Totals are dumb for preseason even tho most are over there is no value

    also if there were totals on every game the number would have to reach 10 runs or more atleast for most games. Public sees such a high number and public loads on under. its just a mess

    I had no problems when they posted them earlier in Spring Training. Many of them were 10.5 or 11 in some cases. If it was such a crapshoot, I would think they'd post them to take whatever money they got off them. You never see books pull NFL preseason totals. Just think it lacks consistency. If you start off doing it, keep doing it fukkers.
