    Well how is it that bookmaker, greek and pinnacle can do this?

    Honestly I don't know why anyone would play at any other book than these.

    Well, aside from the obvious answer that there are some access issues to Greek and Pinny for Americans, there are plenty of reasons. No, I won't list them. If you have access to those shops are are happy using just those shops, that's great.

    That's the whole point because US players have so few options they put up with the crap from these books. Heritage goes well beyond the bounds of what is fair.

    Say you like the ISU/Iowa 1H under tonight. This is the crap you get from Heritage.......

    Fri 12/9841Iowa
    +4˝ -105
    +215
    Over 69 +105
    5:00PM (PST) 842Iowa State
    -4˝ -115
    -265
    Under 69 -125

    while bookmaker has 68.5 -110 and 5dimes has 69 -110. It's always this way with Heritage, the side you want always has a little extra juice. And it's twice as bad with 2nd halfs.

    Nobody in their right mind would bet this and even if you tried to make a reasonable sized wager you would get this message.............

    A maximum wager amount of 100.00 USD is permitted for this wager on the internet.


    5dimes and bookmaker are both far better books than Heritage. They at least give you a fighting chance while Heritage gives you none. If you're putting half your bankroll in play on a NFL Sunday, your playing right into their hands and I would do anything to keep you playing their as well. Some of us ain't that dumb though.

    "the side you want always has a little extra juice"

    LOL, so Heritage is reading your mind?

    Guys who like the over love heritage right now... works out both ways, sometimes my side is juiced sometimes I get my side at +100 or +105.

    When there are only 5 left that's not saying much.

    BTW, 5dimes and bookmaker are much better. They actually take a decent bet and you can bet steam if your fast enough.

    Winning handicappers are not on a delay. If your account is on a delay it is probably because we have tagged you as one of the 50 or so “movers” that all come in at the same time on the same game that is moving across the board trying to bet the limit. We need to control this so we cut the limits on accounts we consider “movers” and assigned “delays”. We are reviewing our “mover” accounts one by one now. If you are a “mover” account but also give us other action you will get the higher limits and little or no delay (depending on the other play you give us). If not you will experience the same delays and reduced limits you now receive.

    Coach V I invite you to call me to discuss your account. I will do my best to meet your needs but there is only so much room we have to move if you’re just moving. In any event if you do not like the program I can give you we are happy to refund your balance. Ask to speak with Mike or PM your account number.

    I appreciate your input.
    Surprised any book would explain in such detail.
