    Smart Book - Bowmans
    Dual lines. I think you get moved over to the sharps as soon as you bet a dog. Then there is a line for the public (favorite bettors) that allows Bowmans to pick up the middle.

    Example. Tonight. Virginia +17.5 and +16.5, depending on which side of the fence you're on. So 17 is the huge ZERO on their roulette wheel. Play that game over and over, and you end up way ahead.

    The line for the socalled sharps is about the same as everywhere else, so the joke is on those who take the faves at the extra point. In other words, Bowmans isn't punishing sharps. They're milking squares.

    Bowmans closed my account some time ago, they said its a managements decision and didnt give any further reasons.
    Of course i know why thou, i did bet into their slow moving lines often lol.

    I still think they are a decent book, but this really surprised me.
    They didnt lower my limits before, they just gave me the boot out of nowhere.

      Bowmans loves the $50-$500 player that bets the chalk, they basically move the money that way and discourage any other type player to play there so they make a fortune.
