    why do people play at bookmaker?
    they dont offer anything special for bases. yeah they have high limits for pros but you're layin the bad price @ that shop 99% of the time. whats the deal with this book? what makes this book good? Do they specialize in football/basketball or what?

    patty, no surprise that you are up. it's 420 am.. but yeah, bookmaker is a crap book. they offer 20 cent lines, sometimes you will see some value in a dog there, but big sht.. i hate this book. they charged me 200 bucks to transfer some funds to matchy. and they re negged on a bonus for me. told me if i send a certain amount, they will give me 1% rebate for life on my bets, and once i deposited the money, they cancelled my 1%. i hate this book, patty.

    bookmaker sucks, big time.

          They put the lines out first and if you like to blast the opening number then this is a book you need. Yes the transfer fee's and withdraw fee's suck but there is no reason you should not be able to get a 25% free play as a reload bonus to offset these costs.

            Bookmaker is handy for hammering weak opening lines and high limits. Other than that, it is pretty much useless once the lines are out at other books because it almost never has the best line out.

                    They also have a nice rewards program that gets you free plays & other stuff pretty quick if you bet medium amounts or larger on your games.

                      I'd be more inclined to ask why people play at the other 90% of sportbooks out there that are absolute Crap.....

                          Im on board with JJGold and LT....early lines other than that I have NEVER gotton a better line through them during the MLB. They have always been SHARP. They have a PDA application which comes in handy but I just found out that many books (5dimes) are compatible with Windows Mobile Pocket Internet Explorer...so I'll keep a small balance with them and move all my action to 5 dimes.

                          In terms of reload bonuses....10 percent at best and it is a freeplay meaninf if you bet 100 on -120 you get 80 not 180 back. Freeplays are good if you can find a dog because the reverse is true as well +120 freeplay of 50 would give you back 60. They have never offered me anything more than 10 and I usually up 1500 at a time.

                            They moved the lines more than most so often have the best number in football. The loyalty program is great so they actually have -107, and thus low prop juice as well. You will always see football games at bookmaker go from -6.5 to 7, then u buy the 7 to 7.5 that is -6.5 at -107 +7.5 at -117 that is positive expectancy you could just pop their lines and move them and pop the other side and make money. I did that with World Championship basketball. I would hit -7 at -6 -130 they move to 8 then I hit +9 -130, but the real juice is -127.

                            Also easy money in poker at the low limit because they let u buy in for less money that you should u just go all in preflop and rack up money.

                                    Big supporter of this book for reasons already stated. That said I don't play here during bases very much, like Greek they are a great book except for bases. Big limits, early lines, one of the safest books out there if not the safest. IMO must have out if you are a halfway serious player.
