    If you’re plugging a sportsbook I’m positive they would appreciate you spelling their name correctly. At least they bought both domain names and it doesn’t send you to your other top 10 book betus. Comical.

    Barstool has been great but the app is buggy and they lack some of the promos and boosts that fanduel and dk have. Fanduel app is the best although it annoyingly makes you sign back in all the time. Fanduel also is the best for player props and same game parlays and props.

    CS bad at all of them. Caesars terrible.

    I haven't played enough at mgm or rivers yet. Those are the only 6 we have so far that are mobile.

    Another thing i like about barstool is the chalks are more heavily juiced so the dog price is better than most other shops.

    Isn't that exactly what Westgate does? Bet their max, give them a chance to move their number, bet them again. Repeat as many times as you want until tipoff.

    edit to add: Scared would be the places that send bets for approval and sometimes reject bets or offer a lower amount. Or the places that won't let a player bet again after a max bet, even after giving them plenty of time to move their number. Westgate does neither of those things. From what I can tell, everyone gets the same posted limits and bets are never rejected.

    (There is one exception that happened to me. While I should have done it differently, they were really tacky over it. But one example I can live with, especially when I know why and know to not do it again).

    I'm not saying they are a bad book, they are still one of the better ones.

    They just aren't what they used to be and are definitely not confident (afraid) in college basketball and slash limits instead of getting better at it.

    They do not let you re-bet unless the line moves.

    If they do move it.......I have to bet it at 5 different numbers to get what an average Joe can get in 1 bet.

    If they do not move the line, you get the paltry amount and no more.

    That's scared and lazy bookmaking.

    I am nearly 100% certain this is not true (on their Nevada account). Just have to wait a few minutes. Exactly the same as any max bet in any other sport or market with them. Might be hard to notice because it takes a little longer than Circa or South Point and they will usually move the line after one max bet in college basketball.

    This is certainly true.

    I have tried dozens of times.

    Maybe if it is later in the day or next day or something but definitely not within a few minutes or quickly.

    Regardless, cutting limits instead of getting better "is" scared and lazy bookmaking.

    I'll try with a Super Bowl prop or future sometime soon and get a specific time on it, as those usually allow a couple max bets. I am certain they aren't doing anything different for college basketball (other than being more aggressive with their moves, which you said they should do).

    For Westgate, it is 20 minutes between max bets at the same number. No reason to be more than 10 minutes. But a lot better than MGM or Stations, which is usually never again unless they move the number.

First 12
