    I'm backkk ! With more complaint's about that "overated" book..bookmaker !

    My God ! Aren't these ass---- supposed to be a THE PARAMOUNT of BOOKMAKERS ?

    They play these "silly" penny-ante games..you never know when there "jumpy lines" are going to change ?
    And I know from experience ...that if they [or there software]see you playing something a little "hot", well good luck !
    Also figure in the fact that I was tapping them pretty good...is that another red flag ?

    I thought for sure I had a "processed" play on CINCINNATI -3 for 300/360...Nooo,4 minutes later I go back to look at another BM'ER line ,and lo and behold,I see red letters across the board that say's "that bet was not excepted due to a line change "!
    Now this has happened many times,and I am only playing usually, 1 to 5 units !
    Okay all you Bookmaker fans,I know I could just quit them but I don't want to, I "think" I do need them sometimes,yet,right now I need to "blow this steam" because of the way they run their business,which is unprofessional .
    And by the way,CINCINNATI had jumped to -5 when I went back and found my play rejected .

    I'm not sure if you're doing shtick but I'll answer as if it's serious.

    Lines move. It happens. If you've caught a few at BM lately, it's a coincidence. Bookmakers lines are not watching you personally or judging if you are betting something "hot."

    You should definitely make sure your bet has been confirmed at the time you place it. It's not something you should be figuring out by accident 4 minutes later

    Oh yeah DURITO ,the dumb-ass's had -3 for while ,until someone "actually" wanted to play the -3 ,like me,then it jumped to -5 .

    What BOOKMAKER and plenty of books need is software for smaller fish like me and thousands of others who play from 1-5 units,that will not change lines "so freaking fast",then can could LEAVE THE FKING LINES ALONE !

    They will not do that because they want to "catch ALL the fish" in their crucifying traps !

    ABE - Cincy hasn't been -3 since August. Bookmaker has several flaws, especially regarding their lackluster customer service for a high-esteem book, but this complaint is not valid. Sorry.

    durito may be an ass at times but he knows he's shit. You couldn't have gotten Cinci at -3 since beginning of august.

    I have had this LM problem numerous times with Bookmaker. It does seem that their lines move after you place a wager. Their customer service could be better, but all in all I like them!

    I really hate to inform all of you DORITO fans but...ABE is a very honest individual,also, I know him personally ,which helps !
    I guess you non-beliver's are suggesting I made a mistake on the Cinny-3 line ?
    Well doubters I have been doing this "little game" for many many years,so be careful who you follow on this Sports-Forum .
    Cinny. was -3 at [*#] Bookmakers ,probably 3 or 4 minutes till kickoff,and unlucky for me I found another -3 at ,guess where, Matchbook !

    So in this small battle of EGOS,I win, Dorito's followers lose .

    Dorito might want to post where he found his false "documented" line changes ?

    Whiney thread. I like Bookmaker too. They pay fast.

    So they don't like followers/steam chasers. Not too many books do.

    So with a clientele of 90% "suckers",why so conservative ?
    My opinion still stands...that processing and checking for securities is a great benefit for BOOKMAKER alone !
    Then they have plenty of that useless time wasting for the "sucker's" to lose by another 1/2 point on a LATE IMPORTANT change ![right ?]l
    They take more time processing your ,on average,than any Bookmaker in the World !

    Meanwhile ,the "suckers', wait and wait to see if those bastard's are going to , 1,accept ,2, deny, or 3, change underwear once more ?
    In two little words, THEY SUCK !
    However ,I do want to beat them even more because of the lousy way they run their business !

    I don't know what their clientele is made up of. I do know they do have some big players.

    If you can not originate a number yourself, and want to follow line moves, you will have trouble at Bookmaker and probably most any other book. I don't follow steam, they never delay me. I do sometimes get a line change to approve, but I have had these move for me as well as against me.

    I like it when I make a wager at 4am, the time when no one is making any wagers and the line sudenly moves a half point or 10%.

    Damn Bloodsuckers

    Why do you think I call them BookF*cker?

    They do pay fast though, that's about the best thing I can say about them. Their lines suck (their soccer lines are a crime).

    Hello BRENTCRUDE !And you too ROAGBETTER ,[thanks for agreeing with me on BOOKMAKER ] .

    No Brent ,I an stuck here in INDIANA ,my life is too disorganized to move anywhere at present .
    I most likely will take a long vacation out to the LA area sometime in the next 3,8 months and see if I can adjust to their lifestyle ,or, see if the faster lane is what I really want ?[I think it is ?]
    I have a house to rent or sale before I can do much of anything,[plus ton's of junk]and man that's a hassle !
