Not sure. But if my book doesn't release the 1H total soon I'm going to go nuts. May as well pull an all-nighter at this rate. Piece of crap slow Aussie books.

If you're in Australia, why don't you sign up at Pinnacle? They operate all over the world and will make you happy.

I'm honestly surprised -- doesn't seem to make sense that an elimination game total would be dropping as much as it is (1.5 at some shops). Combined with Boston now being -1.5 at a lot of places, and I'm wondering if many sharps are following your line of thinking -- Celtics big, Cavs give up.

To tell you the truth, the only reason I haven't signed up with an offshore book is because I'm too lazy to go through the rigamarole of sending documents and having to also sign up with a money broker account, unless I use Western Union which really isn't as popular here as it is back home. Sometimes the slow lines actually work in my favour because they may not react as quickly to line movement, but at times like this it's a total nightmare. Plus these guys have same day or next day at the latest deposit straight to your bank account.

But still, 7 hours before game time and still no line on the 1H total. They're often slow, but usually not THIS slow.

Trust me, the process is worth it to play at Pinnacle for the low vig / early lines combo. Definitely improves your quality of life.

Okay SK. I'm convinced. If there's a chance you could get a referral bonus out of my sign up, PM me your details. I'm at the point where I'm going to have to pick up the phone and scream at these jerkoffs and despite all 'appearances' to the contrary, I really hate having to bitch out some innocent CS Rep.

Pinny doesn't give bonuses anymore. They ended a few weeks ago but compensated by cutting the vig even lower (6 cent MLB MLs, 8 cent NBA spreads, etc) and being able to buy/sell points cheap is a HUGE asset that can often give you a better line on a spread/total than you can get anywhere else and still at a cheaper rate.

**doylfish** · 05-13-10, 12:23 PM

seriously, i booked at 196..not cool

My local gave me Boston +4.5, I know it sounds like complete BS but it's true

Case in point, the total dropping on the BOS-CLE game currently has the lines sitting at:

1H Over 98.5 (+108)
1H Under 98.5 (-118)

So you can get O97.5 for -109, whereas it would cost -117 at 5Dimes

-110. I'd guess all action is on Cleveland. Most of the time his lines are consistent with the offshore books but sometimes he just gives me these kinds of lines that I can't pass up.

i think you can use neteller if you're outside the us. i used to use them and they were the nuts. i have no idea if they're even still in business, but i think they are. neteller made life a whole lot easier.

I don't understand how anyone can dangle a line that's 6 points off market and still be in business. He must have a good read on his customer base in general

**Tommy_de1st** · 05-13-10, 01:53 PM

Shari, you can use Neteller as well as Moneybookers but check it first coz some books won`t give ya welcome bonus if used those two as a payment method

Exactly. Most, if not all people whom he takes action from are squares...some of them I know personally. I can imagine that my bookie has been bleeding money ever since the playoffs with everyone taking the Lakers, Orlando and to an extent Cleveland every single game and he's just doing what he needs to do because he knows that everyone will go huge on Cleveland

If he was feeling the burn too badly, he would have been laying action off on bigger books, i would think... Fortunately for him, the tide always flows back in his direction in the end. Soon only "square" choices will remain.

**EXpertcapper** · 05-13-10, 02:14 PM

I do not believe it up 5-1 the mariners and give up 5 runs bottom of the eighth to the fin orioles

**shari91** · 05-13-10, 03:08 PM

Well, I finally got my 1H total bet on. What is it, 4 hours before the game?

I tried to be really, really, really nice. Even after holding for 20 minutes when it was 5 in the morning here so you know I was probably one of three people calling them.

This lovely woman Natalie tells me that since I'm a Premium Player she'll attempt to find the lines for me just so I can be aware of them when the lines open at 6am here. I explain to her that if I'm what they consider a Premium Player she needs to find a new job since the company will be bankrupt because they obviously have no clue what the fvkk they're doing (I know for a fact they take mid-high 5 digit bets on horse races and AFL games for certain members and I by no means bet anywhere close to that).

Then she comes back and says her supervisor told her to take a bet from me EARLY with the 1H over at 98 only because of my valued status. Well, I tried to be polite but come the fvkk on!!! I explained to her that even Bin Laden and his cronies would've been on this bet for 6 hours by now and they would've place it via smoke signal so there is no way this is 'early' considering they're living in a cave in butt-fvkk Afghanistan (no offence to any Afghani brothers). Stupid cow.

You can use POLI so as long as you have an Aussie bank account you're good to go

Deposits are immediate with POLI as well, withdrawals can take up to 5 days to hit your account.

**Rixsaw** · 05-13-10, 03:13 PM

Celts close out this series tonight. BOL all.
