what if bookmaker puts up a line as say...

Illinois +8 vs Purdue...

But the rest of the world comes up with Illinois +3 1/2, would they adjust their line right down? Or stick to their guns?

[George7904]

Well done, Loshack.

[flyingillini]

Great interview, good job Loshak!

The rest of the world copies Bookmaker.

[pokernut9999]

You can use the power ratings and figure out 98% of lines before anyone releases them.

[craigpb]

Really enjoyed it.

[Extra Innings]

Great Interview Peter Loshak...you asks great questions

[kennedysports]

Great insight but mickey wont tell you everything that goes on at bookmaker, its like a cat and mouse game

[jcadwell]

awesome interview.... great job!!!

[cap10]

first set the line in you're own mind;; then bet the line;; BUT u need to have a strong feeling for the line;;; NOBODY can predict the future all the time ;; just home you're gut is better than the book;;

[jjgold]

[DukeJohn]

[dinaro7]

great interview

[rake922]

listened during my lunch break... thanks

[pavyracer]

The title of the interview is quite deceiving as it is labeled "Behind The Scenes". It's not like anything with the offshore books is done In Front of The Scenes. No player can go to their office and have a tour like they do at the local dairy where you live.

ask him why there poker room sucks and support won't answer back

online casinos are rigged for sure.

[DaddyWarBuck$]

I bet

online casinos are rigged for sure.

I tend to agree with that opinion.. I have been pretty deep in poker tourneys online then have the most unlikely string of bad beats happen consecutively... Then I notice the donkey that just cracked my pocket Kings with deuces is now in first place, only to check back alittle bit later to discover he barely cashed!

[Reload]

Nice job with this - one of the best interviews ever I would say

[1tarheelfan]

great interview,and good book also.

[AceKingHigh]

I would like to say that I have a very bad experience from the affiliate side of BookMaker.com .

I'm an internet marketer for the past 6-7 years and doing it as my full time job.
I referred 5 players to BookMaker.Com results in $4,000 USD sitting in my account there, great isn't? well, here comes the tricky part...

I must have 10 Active ( active = players who made bets the last 7 days ) in order to request a withdrawal, I must say that I work with Bwin / Sportsbook.com / BetJam / Pinnacle - None have this kind of BS!

So I have $4,000 USD in my affiliate account of Bookmaker that it is stuck there! Rated A+ book? maybe from player perspective, but I think an A+ book should be good to deal with in EVERY measure and level! Including ofcurse their affiliate program that brings in players to their platform.


And just so you know, $4,000 in my affiliate account ===> They earned so far $20,000 from my referred players.

if they make the line ,,why vegas got the same line???? cause they copy vegas,,,

Bookmaker opens before the Hilton opens, and takes 1000 times the action. I thought the Mikey was going to start laughing when asked about LVSC.
