    Betting more obscure sports. Questions.
    Maybe I'm slipping into degenerate status, but my mind tries to handicap every competition that I see. I browse the Olympics and wonder what kind of lines are on some of these sports, I looked them up on Pinnacle, but notice they don't list all of the competitions. Is there another book that handles more of these obscure sports?

    Also, what about Women's college hoops? I don't think I've ever seen these bets available either. Will they be for the tournaments? How about Div 2 and lower in college mens?

    I understand if books don't want to handle some of these more obscure sports, but I just wanted to get some feel and opinions from some of the more experienced guys on here.

      I just checked 5dimes, but none of it was there.

      One of the Olympic sports I was looking at is Female figure skating. Most sportsbooks offer odds on the racing events such as speed skating or skiing, but no figure skating.

      I'll keep checking, though.

          Some of these obscure sports doesn't have nearly as sharp lines as big leagues in major sports. You have to know your stuff tho and finding stats and info from the net might be a bit hard.
