More Sportsbook Managers Are Robots

[jjgold]

Why??

Well I could prove it if I worked at Pinnacle or Don Best Sports

Tonight's NFL game between Jax/Ravens if I went into their systems and change line to Ravens -22 every fukkin book would change line to -22

Point is??

They all stare at the Don Best Screen and Pinnacle Lines

Point is they all move numbers even if 1/2 point for no reason other than the screen changes

Ask a sportsbook manager why he moved game from 6 to 7 and he will say " I do not know"

[FourLengthsClear]

Agreed.
Very few books that will take a side and those that do (like SIA) will always shade toward the favourite and then give you the boot when you take the dog. The other main US facing books (5D, Diamond, Greek and Legends) generally do exactly what you say.

Treasure Islands Book managers stare at Don Best every second and they take like 5k a day in wagers

One day I was talking to one and he never looked up at me, catch is no one was in sportsbook and he was still starring at screen

but isn't don best a line service that shows all the lines in the industry ? so why not just copy pinny? i dont get it

I agree, JJ. Just seems like with all the info and line services out there, any book manager can throw up numbers on games. Just put your line up, shade it a few cents to your benefit, make it a little more opinionated once in a while, and that's it - easy money.

Funny part = them bitching when they get hammered. Hey, u set the line.

Old school book-making is dead.

Books are too inter-dependent. No reason for them to be giving out arbs and free money to people. The market is too efficient now.
