    Why do books do this?
    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?

          No 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.

              I 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.

                This 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.

                Bullshit

                      LOL if they really did this why not just que up the other side and don't hit the confirm button. After they move the line .20 the go bet the side you want.

                        Helmut, 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>

                          Make 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.

                                no 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.
