    Can we get the sportsbook to not lock out games until the game starts like real books

    or no?

    had two winners i wanted to book but was locked out and the games hadn't even started...

    I think he means the SBR sportsbook.

    As far as real books at close when the game actually starts, 5Dimes is the best at that.

    I asked Lou to do this a while ago. His answer was some b.s about my clock being wrong and that the games go off the board at the specified time which is not true.

    im referring to the SBR book...

    for instance...all the 1PM games went off as soon as the clocks strikes 1PM vs other books where the games don't come off the board until they ACTUALLY kick off and the 1st second ticks off the clock

    The book here is a bonus feature. For them to pull of what you want, they'd have to have a staff monitoring when each game actually starts. I don't think SBR is gonna waste money on that.

    Here's the deal, SBR book doesn't have TVs with satellite subscriptions and 5 stage managers watching every game to keep games on the board until actual kickoff, so we simply set all games to go off the board at their scheduled time, so you simply check the time they have a couple of hours before game time, synchronize your clock to time.gov and make your bets before that, it ain't so complicated.

    You're betting points, pal. Not cash. Points.
