What books do you plan on uses for bases?

[rob]

Local books for me.
.10 lines to 1.80, .20 from 1.90 - 2.20, run lines over 2.20. .10 lines on totals.
Lines are posted twice a day...once for day games and later for night games. They almost never change. Needless to say, I've been extremely successful the last several years. It doesn't take a rocket scientist (or even a sharp handicapper) to beat stale lines like these.
I spread my action among three different locals. Don't want to kill the golden-egg-laying goose, so to speak.
The local books here all admit to taking a beating on baseball. They claim they only do it to keep their customers around for football.

With the loss of Pinnacle and the uncertainty of liquidity on Matchbook...I have chosen the BetJM route...but am always in the makret for other outs....any experiences at The Jazz?

[bigboydan]

Austin.

I'm still mourning the loss of losing pinnacle, and while Matchbook is a very strong second for me right now. However I do need to explore other very good outs, and Jazz (DPT Sports Group) fits the criteria I'm look for in a book.

Jazz has been around long time and are rock solid. They also have very unique lines. Also there limits are roughly 5K on most sports, and I haven't heard anything in regards to them cutting your limits at all either.

The only problem I can foresee with Jazz is that they do use a 20 cent line on totals. I can live with that factor though, because a lot of other rock solid books use the dimeline for those.

If you bet less than like $500 a game , matchbook definately replaces Pinnacle

WSEX had lower juice bases also

WSEX had lower juice bases also

I believe it was 107 up to -149. However, I'm still uncertain if they will offer that this year or not.

SBR has received updated sportsbook information for the 2007 MLB Baseball season. Dime line price breaks and information about betting options, including 5 inning wagering, team totals and reverse run lines, can be viewed here: Best MLB Lines. SBR will continously update this feature as sportsbooks solidify offerings leading up to opening day.

BBDan,
skybook dime line sounds nice, but there are no deposit option.

** or ** and their withdraw fees are like skyrocket.

[bigboydan]

Thats the truth Freebie. The maximum withdrawal via western union is 1000 this has a $68 fee. Moneygram has a maximum of 1500 with a $91 fee, but they do offer checks, maximum 2000 with a 35 dollar fee. The probelm with checks is that it takes 6-7 business day for there arrival.
