[daggerkobe]

Here are some lines I got at BM today....

BM: -125
Bodog: -112
Pinny: -111

BM: -110
Bodog: +103
Pinny: +107

BM: +155
Bodog: +160
Pinny: +160

Where the awful lines originate......

Straight Out...Their lines are horrible. I get a good line 1 out of 40 plays and by good I mean -/+ 05 in the MLB or -/+ 1/2 in the NBA, NFL, AFL. After my futures clear I'm out of there. BetJam and 5Dimes is the WTG.

BTW, check there lines around 1145AM EST tommorow. I guarentee you they are off by 15 with anything being offerred at 5dimes. Something like +115 -105 @ dimes would look like EV -120 @ bookmaker.

bookmaker has turned into a joke of a book.

I'm going to have to start using 5dimes again if they're hanging lines like that.

I said something about there lines in the thread on what books are over/underrated by sbr. Just look at there soccer and tennis lines compared to 5 dimes, i've seen a soccer team at +300 at BM and +650 at 5 dimes, with the favorite being a worse price at BM. I wouldn't touch it either way, but thats ridiculous

Bookmaker is horrible. Matchbook is quickly becoming the top book out there today.

[durito]

The difference is you can actually win and continue to play at cirs.

[JBC77]

I can never find a reason to play at that place. If you shop around there is always a reason to play somewhere else.

[Helmut]

Must have book if you want to bet the games early as they post the numbers first.

[LT Profits]

I get some good opening lines at Bookmaker, but they become pretty useless once other books post their lines.

My guess would be, if you're playing at bookmaker, you're expecting to get 20 cent lines on bases. I know ahead of time. That's probably why people don't complain. For football however, Bookmaker is a great out, and as Durito already said, you won't get booted for winning. You also don't have to worry about payout, will never get your limits cut, and you can 'negotiate' with the line manager regarding their already high limits.

You and Durito make great points...right on!

as I always point out lines are -107, if you factor in the loyalty program. Who else deals -107 for MLB 2nd halfs NFL/NBA in game quarters?

[jtuck]

Loyalty program is best in the biz jmo

You know today I was talking to a lady manager at a one BM/CRIS outlet, this in a baseball nation, and it was like an hour before the 7pm games, and the bets were pouring in left and right money flowing, and I asked her "whoah don't this people know there are way better numbers out there? It's so mindless" and she said "you know what, half of them don't care and the other half are happy with us through out the year". There you go straight from the horse's mouth, the name supersedes the numbers.

Wouldn't you be happy booking at this numbers?

They must make a fortune off baseball.

There you go, if the players keep betting even with bad numbers why on earth would they change and give away money?
