    Bookmaking 101 - What does the SBR Sportsbook need to do better?
    What lines are we missing??
    What sports?
    Grading fast enough?
    Live chat does it work?
    Lines up early enough?
    Limits right? If not which ones and what should they be?
    Is Lou gay? (by the looks of his gf I'd say no)

    Come'on and tell us.

    PS - all rules related to insulting anyone at SBR, SBR itself, our sexual preference or anything else are suspened(for this thread only) so as to get your most genuine opinion.

      1stH lines, 1st5 innings. Add that and you become a top ten offshore book.

      CFL
      UFL
      AFL
      WNBA. Etc...

      Keep those niche/fringe sports on the daily board.

          Higher limits on everything, please. I believe MLB is 500 and tennis/soccer is 250 or something.

          Also perhaps less vig on baseball and soccer, but I guess we're stuck with CRIS lines.

          IMO, grading is good and lines are up early enough.

                  Reduced juice.
                  NASCAR to win odds (even after qualifying).
                  Higher limits perhaps.

                              more tennis options. challenger tournaments, over/unders.

                              live betting would probably be hard but that would of course be sweet aswell.


                              lou does not appear to be one of the top 15 gayest guys on this site.

                                Wouldn't offering HT lines for football & basketball require lines posted at different times of day?

                                How about with something easy first? Lets offer FF inning lines for baseball which are not time dependent.

                                  Excellent feedback..!! Looks like we have some work to do. Keep them coming, especially if there is something you would regulary bet but don't because we do not offer you a line????(we can change that)

                                    I agree with the halftime lines.

                                    Props.

                                      Just use Pinnacles feeds-(If that moron at parlaymakers can so can your staff)
                                      Or
                                      Ask Blacie to let sbr use the xmarketsexcahnge for a points exchange wagering platform and we can see how well Dax really does seeding markets

                                        Dime lines in baseball and hockey? Also 1st quarter/period bets in football and hockey are fun. Thanks.

                                                  Team totals for all sports, RRLs in baseball, and 1H/2H lines (including team totals) for NFL.

                                                  Maybe some fun props, like will JJ get laid by a girl who isn't a hooker sometime this year?

                                                    i doubt higher limits will change. you are in essence playing with something that was given to you for free (points). sbr isn't just going to up the limits and get taken for 10's of thousands of points. now granted points are useless unless cashed out, i know. but i'd be willing to bet my left nut they don't wanna chance it

                                                        SBR points are worthless to US players now find a way around the sportsbook freeplay issues.

                                                            Maybe reduced juice for SBR Pros?

                                                              The most desirable upgrade would be more options. 1H/2H lines for both college and pro football/basketball would be great. Period wagers for NHL would also be great.

                                                              I am not very knowledgeable on the programming aspect of the SBR book and how much of it is manual and how much is automatic. But you have real time 1H/2H lines on the SBR Odds page, so wouldn't it be possible to tap into that live feed somehow to make them also available in the book?

                                                              In short, if you made all the different main and sub categories of lines that are available on SBR odds page also available in the SBR book, that would be fantastic. I would personally use the SBR book about 30x more often than I do now with that upgrade. And more options = more lines for people to lose points back to SBR with. Win-Win for both sides.

                                                                I second MMA props. I may not bet on a fight straight up, but many times I would bet on a method of victory. Also challengers events for tennis would be great, and perhaps better labeling on the soccer. Instead of saying Brazil for Brazil U20 clarify and make it read Brazil U20. Just my 2 cents.
