    Best Books for Steam

    Which books have long delays and/or are stubborn with their lines? Do they cut your limits if they realize you're playing steam?

    most of EU books are slow on updating odds, especially on US sports. However you'll get limited pretty quick

    Betting steam in most cases is more trouble than it is worth.

    If you don't hit their bad numbers then what's the point of depositing there anyways.

    Add Bet Phoenix and Wgerchief to your list. Before you make a wager there, the screen pauses for 5 seconds. If making a play before the game say 5-10 minutes before hand, the lines will move while your trying to make your play. Same goes for Wagerchief. By them pausing for 5-10 seconds, they can change the lines and or can cancel all wagers. Ill take some points if you dont mind.

    Matchbook is probably the best book for chasing steam....However most originators play here...so a line that steams will probably steam 1st here...You will never have your limits slashed though

    WSEX is another one that will tolerate more steam chasing than most, but again you're looking at a long slow-pay as the best case scenario if it's profitable.

    Sorry if this is a stupid question but what exactly should be understood by steam? I mean, I know this is a situatin when one book haven't yet move the number while others did (as a result of supposed smart money bet?)... but the thing i don't get is why a book is supposed to move a number blindly just because others did without even looking at whether it has balanced or not?

    Thanks

    Most books these days move on air, i.e. they move because others did without concern for their own action.

    They aren't "supposed" to, they do it out of fear.

    Betsson is very slow. The only problem is their note was B iirc. (and they limit you in 3-4 months)
