I just opened account less than one week ago. I have turned my money from a grand to 5 grand. Wow, big deal. Now the book is freaking out and changing lines everytime I make a bet online. Is this obvious or is it just me? I begin to place two bets online. Before confirming, one line goes from -115 to -135. The other goes from over 4.5 to over 5. It was 3 oclock and the games didnt start until 5. That is obvious to me. And they were small wagers to boot. Less than 500. So now I take my money and go somewhere else. Why would a book be so stupid?
Why do books do this?

#5No way steeltown, they have no way to track your bet before placing password and they don't have to hire one person just sit there and waiting for you , if it affect, affect all. or they just limit you down.Comment -

#7I found it odd that over 1 hour before the game the cubs over goes from 4.5 to 5 and the Mil over goes from 4 -115 to 4 -135 as soon as I hit every button but confirm. Its not the first time this book has been shady since I got hot. Id rather not say the book until I get all my funds out.Comment -

#8This always happens to me as well. I place a bet and when I am about to press confirm, the line changes and never in my favor. Also, 3-4 hours or even the night before the line always changes against me.
For example: I want to take Bluejays over 9 -110.....1100 to make 1000, so I go to confirm and suddenly it switches to over -125. So 1250 to make 1000 This happens almost every day.

#12Helmut, thats a brilliant idea!!!! Im dead serious. Id rather not name the book until I get my funds out of there and that could take a while especially since I just had a miracle win with the Brewers big and a push on the over 4! Can someone tell me what a wiseguy is? Im being accused of this over there too>Comment -

#13Make a $1000 bet for the other side, then before you hit confirm cancel and bet the other side for $100. If you do that about 10 times you will make the line move by $2 which at that point would make any favorite a big dog.Comment -

#16no way guys, when you play at a book with sensitive line mover, you always see that, that's how a big book balance there money and also catch up with the line giver, greek, Pinnacle, are the 2 books that change their lines and move money every 5 to 10 second especially when the game is in actions and close to the game start. some football game you can't even have a chance to place the bets because they keep changing back and fort and there is no way that you can confirm the passowords.Comment
