    Is Bookmaker getting to be more trouble than they're worth?
    Does anyone sense BK is changing into real tightwads while offering tighter lines and higher juice than average? Say, in the last 6 months?
    Can anyone buy 1 & 1/2 points or more on their college hoops?
    I do believe I see some serious line tightening? Though, I could be wrong?

    Or, the other question; do you believe they single out certain bettor's who they really find too tough to beat or simply might have biased feelings toward them?.
    The bottom line: Do they appear to use discrimination to certain clientele?
    Please, serious player's only and the rest of our spoiled SBR children can simply not even attempt to answer these questions and do us a favor and go straight to bed.

        Well, yawn, this the hottest place for this question. We have 400 plus gamblers on player's talk today. Probably much more than that tonight.

              Gee, you sound like a bookie? Winning every month? Houdini died almost a hundred years ago.

                      Please, if you have some serious news of any kind, do the PM. And if you complain about Books, we have too many member's who seem to be more favorable toward them than their comrades on SBR? Gee, if you have a legit complaint it should be respected, especially when you risk you hard earned cash right on the barrel-head.
                      JJ, you are worth your weight in gold for our members here, but sometimes you talk too much.
                      I forgive you though.

                        Do they normally let you buy/sell more than a point on either side? Maybe you should try Heritage.

                          Heritage seems to upgraded their quality of service? After that one incident where they canceled my parlay for holding it too long--about a 9 months ago--they have been superb. Yes, they did eventually pay me for that open parlay.

                            Now I see where you are coming from. You lean to Books because you are a rookie gambler, that, or you merely look for a negative answer to the question I asked. It was a "Question," not a proclamation or charge; rook. Tsk tsk.

                              I am not joking..guys like Dauton, Lenny and Mark Del want you to stop and not question offshore books

                              Bookmaker's business models work and many pros actually find them to have value

                                  Wish they would lower their juice on golf matchups like they used too.
                                  Tennis matchups seem to be getting little higher vig than before as well.
                                  Awesome book thou, they would get 100% of my plays if they went back to 20 cent lines on those sports.

                                      Bookmaker is the only book that constantly take 10-20 k bets without blinking - you would have to crush them so bad like winning 6 figures constantly for them to even red flag you !! I doubt this clown Abe have reach that status - like I said before who’s in buisness to lose money? It’s not illegal for them to ban players when there losing money. Happens everywhere bookie/sportsbook/casino - there’s plenty of books to bet with!! Take your money else where

I doubt this clown Abe have reach that status - like I said before who’s in buisness to lose money? It’s not illegal for them to ban players when there losing money. Happens everywhere bookie/sportsbook/casino - there’s plenty of books to bet with!! Take your money else where
                                                    I am judging you as you falsely judge me. There is a category on SBR, filled with certain qualifying members that feel safe, secure, and warm, by posting judgement's on other member's character, and in a nasty demeaning manner.

                                                    I named it "The Stinker Member's."
                                                    You made it easily and so does S.O. S.O.? The individual who carelessy touts Books in a favorable manner as if they are sound quality--meanwhile, this stinker member has no clue. He may try to entice you also, to join his personal choice of Book's.
                                                    Don't go there.
                                                    Is S.O. simply posing as harmless bull*hiter , but, is hiding ulterior motives? I am a believer.

                                                        Bookmaker's business models work and many pros actually find them to have value
                                                        Again, JJ, that's personal and what you think is true or what you might have heard, PM's are the respectful place for that personal stuff. SBR is no place to release personal things on a member unless you use PM's. You are wiser than that.
                                                        Yes, I understand it's good business on SBR to be friends with Books, in general.

                                                        But once in a while you see things that need to be addressed, concerning Books. Haven't we had in the past some real lying thieving Books? Books that were fooling SBR, even as they were touting their services? Then why not allow a member to express questions if he is honest and deals straight up?

                                                        Basically, I ask questions in order to see evidence of what other member's association with Books are. Yep, and sometimes you even run into a Book's supervisor who seems to be a real ass. That's not good for business either.

                                                        Do you know of any? And if you do, do you address it on SBR?

                                                            seriously abe, stop it. you bet anywhere from 25-100 a game they arent changing anything for your bets.

                                                            also all books know about their players if youre a winning player they know about it

If you cannot win the way you used to - find a new way to win. The sports books make money from degenerates and stupid people. I have never met a gambler who won money from a book and felt sorry for the book and backed off and took it easy on them. The only thing the books care about is their long term bottom line.

                                                                      If Bookmaker changes their bias/lean - it actually confirms your analysis - laugh your butt off and go beat the crap out of somebody else!
