    Won a sizable amount and want to keep it in for baseball season. How much would you feel comfortable keeping in that book?

    Don't they have the really bad baseball lines?

    From what I heard they are one of the most reliable books for large amounts.

      I've had $15-20K there in the past and was comfortable with it.

        I would never leave more than 10k in a book.

        The greek is the safest book there is IMO. So if you feel the need to leave more I wouldn't sweat it.

          If you keep over 10k, make sure you file a FABR report

                I would say 40K or so

                      It's about as secure as it gets.
                      That being said no sense in keeping any more money in there than you absolutely have to. Much better off sticking the funds somewhere were you will at least be earning interest or getting some kind of yeild.

                          I've had five figures there quite a few times - always felt safe and got paid fast, as well.

                            50K sounds reasonable

                                probably as safe as any available to US players

                                they used to be a waste of time for baseball but that's all changed for the new season with dime lines

                                  This.

                                  No safer book then greek.... I've had no problem/no worries leaving 50k in there at times.

                                              They also appear to have the sharpest lines these days too. My #1 book and if they offered asian lines for Soccer there would be no reason to use any other book.

                                                    I have had over 100k there. Move money if you need it somewhere else. I don't think you need to worry about your money being at risk there.

                                                      what kind of question is this?

                                                      everything is relative
