The only online book I ever really trusted was Pinnacle, but when they shut off US bettors I just went back fully to my local. The upside is trust, the downside is I can't really shop around for numbers.

    Harry, sounds like you’re in good predicament. Personally I think the patriots will win and I’ll be wagering on them. I think you’d be wise to hedge big. Now, my question is do you have NBA winners for us?

    Fair enough. The reason I ask is that I shopped for Rams futures (prior to the FA signings and trades) at about 10 different books and never got better than +2000. The +2500 number is the best I have seen.

    Are you gonna let it ride?

    I think "all-in" in this context just means Action, i.e., there are no stipulations that would result in a refund.
