Point is if they do it for you then they need to do it for everybody and before you know it every local bookie in the world will be calling them before accepting bets from their players. Sure it would have been quicker to tell you the line but long term it is more likely to save them more time by deterring you from calling them every time you need to know what the line is.

Lets be realistic here you have $0 funded with them and can't bet the game anyhow so in what way would it benefit them to be your free line feed????

Maybe you can start calling and asking them for scores also??? it would be pretty simple for them to look up the score for you.
