Might be the small shops copy the bigger shops? Makes sense

Laziness. No talent on the Odds-maker side of the counter.

it seems that most everyone is now using AI/Bot or just cloning. There is human intervention in writing the code for the AI. Some still look for 50/50. The lines maker job is fading away.

So do they have the permission of the other book to do that?

I doubt it in most cases.

Sites like Pinny who offer a paid B2B API service would be an exception.
