    Local Book no longer offering baseball action

    Is this normal? Local book shutting down baseball operations until the playoffs. Sounds like they are taking Tuesday and Wednesday off before football kicks off Thursday.

    Is this noraml book behavior from a local? Not sure exactly how they operate as this is my first expierience using something other than offshore.

    I had a guy a long time ago who wasn't getting any volume on college baskets (my best sport) until after January 1 so he wouldn't take any plays til after college football season was over and guys who didn't know shlt about it started playing it. Basically the fewer players a guy has the more exposure he has to get buried. Obviously I told him to fuk himself.

    got it, thanks for the info guys

    i still am questioning my decision to go local here... more risk at getting my legs broken from local's enforcer than online where u only lose what u pay in.

    local is better. pay and get paid on time when you want no hassle or screw ups with processors. tell your guy he needs an online sight or find one with an online site cant take away your options to play than gl

    ask him to take one last mlb bet...and go big... Bury the fuk... Doesn't have enough customers to take all the action...and/or most of his customers are one sided...so he takes the lines off the board???

    Best time of year to make money in baseball is,..start of season..before all-star break..after all-star break...towards end of season-before playoffs....

    for future reference, "i am getting killed" .. "players are winning" ... yadayadayada are very normal quotes that come out of locals mouths... dont believe a single word of it... unless your guy has very few players and all are betting the same teams and is having issues paying , he isnt getting crushed. gl this football season buddy

    Yeah -- once football starts, a lot of guys stop with the bases, especially with so many -200 and up lines this time of year
