              A deposit book would have a chance to survive, but no one tried it. SBR book usually sucks, but there are good value special lines.

                        Forced out of the market by the SBR Sportsbook and undependable posters. Shame really I liked the diversity of books to choose from with lots of scalping oppurtunites.

                          SBR John's special lines are the shit. If you can't see that you should retire.

                              I had a micro book going but everytime I would post a special line (and they were indeed special) people would just bust shots at me or tell me to go away even though I had 20-30 people taking my offers. It seems most liked them, but there was a select few who took it personally. I didn't even do it that much, maybe 1 or 2 specials a week.

                                Yes, I think this is the route. Transaction tax kills any low juice book you could run, but if people would leave deposits in for a reasonable time it might work. Have to work it out, maybe allow free withdrawals only once per month, or some such.

                                Sometime I might do it on the tennis forum.

                                    Considering they are just copying their offerings from Bookmaker and offering no options besides full game totals/spreads in football and basketball I would add these sports to your statement above...
