    Probably, but it's a start.

    MMA props shouldn't be hard to add.

      NFL and College Football props would be nice. Also, how about adding SBR lines to the SBRodds page?

          3 $50 gift cards could have gotten you $500 in sportsbook freeplays with a 7x rollover against dimelines in bases would have netted you an expected $413 compared to the $150 that you got

          SBR points to US players are worth about 36% of what they used to be and what non US players get

            While true it was still $150 in my pocket for doing absolutely Jack shit. So yeah, points are worth something given what we're working with.

            Would I have loved book cash? Hell yeah. But its not available. I'm not gonna bitch cause last time I looked I didn't pay a fee to be a member or get points

            And sharp if they are so worthless, you wouldn't mind shipping over 5000 my way would ya? Didn't think so.

                  Less vig. I won't use the book for most things unless you reduce the juice. Anything else you do, or don't do, doesn't matter unless you stop being so damn greedy.

                  That said, if it's fixed, I'd love to see 2H lines. Love those things.

                      do away with this. make it more user friendly by not having to click on that box when you have multiple bets and want to place different amounts.

                      Please enter the "amount" below
                      Use same amount for All Bets

                        Agree with the juice being too high. Also Asian handicap for soccer.

                          How did you come up with that $413 figure? You say WOULD HAVE NETTED as opposed to COULD HAVE NETTED YOU. After the 7x rollover, who's to say you wouldn't just end up with $0?

                            That's the expected value if you're a coin flipper.

                                BOXING lines have a much lower max than other sports, I'm guessing b/c you take less action on them? Take a little risk and be fair to your boxing fans. Same MAX as other sports.

                                Oh, and the last time I bet, the already-low max for a boxing match was HALF lower again! I could only bet 250 max, if I remember correctly.

                                  i would like to see a rewards program. something like betjamaica had for sports wagers and vegas style comps for casino play. a little bit goes a long way. freeplay on your birthday.

                                  lower juice of course is nice. 1st and 2nd half lines are vital for football.

                                    More MMA options and 1H lines for football/basketball would be excellent.

                                                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.

                                                Now that BTP is strictly a points contest that require a rollover in the sportsbook, more betting options is a must have at the SBR book.
