Why do all the A rated books have such shit lines

[SSLP]

Bookmaker
The Greek
BetJam
Pinny

All of these lines are superr expensive for football I think B rated books have a better line variety half the time aside from Matchbook due to their MO I cant seem to find attractive lines on most A rated books

[englishmike]

Because what's the point of having great lines but not getting paid?

[SSLP]

B rated books pay

[englishmike]

Fair point.

Each book offers something different. If you want to pop an early opener, go to Greek or Bookmaker. If you want reduced juice, go to 5Dimes or Matchbook. If you want a huge array of betting options, buy/sell pts, and great prices across the board go to Pinnacle. There's no one clear cut choice, that's why it's good to have some money sprinkled across a few different A rated shops.

How else are they going to pay for their "A" ratings?

I was thinking along those lines myself, but could add:

How else are they going to pay for their ads on SBR?

Lower rated books need business to stay in business therefore the player friendly bad lines

top books do not, we play at A books only

That doesnt answer the question.

Everyone knows Pinny is baseball book , Bookmaker and the greek take so much sharp action you will most likey find lines half a point or 5 to 10 cents cheaper in other places.

I have Line Tracker at work and I see everyones lines.

And most of the B rated books have great lines compared to A rated ones .

That wasnt a smart comment Mike , are you saying Skybook , Betphoenix , Youwager are bad outfits??

[jjgold]

SSLP I promote long time pioneer books only, none of the ones you mention are there yet, I guess they are safe but I am old school.

I do promote a few credit shops also like Blackdog, Grande and Catalina

Pinny lines are expensive? Not sure what you mean.
If your looking for an A rated book that carries competitive NFL lines try 5Dimes.

They also pay quickly!

This question just doesn't make sense.

Pinnacle and Matchbook have the lowest vig in the industry. 5Dimes also has reduced juice.

If you're not talking vig, and are asking why A books have the sharpest lines, that's about as self evident as they come.

My old friend St Aquinas... hows business these days?

We are not talking about low juice we are talking about lines being off a full point at Bookmaker sometimes or other books.

5 dimes is great but still not the best for me

[St.Aquinas]

Hows your soccer picks?

Give us the goods SSLP!

[SSLP]

LOL .. good just warming up for the Champions League.

You must pay for my picks though...lol I mean since your rich now and all

Not to ask a dumb question but what do you mean by "attractive lines"?

That's what I meant with the second part of my post. It should be common sense that the best books, with the highest limits, and the most sharp action have sharper lines than others. I don't get what you're getting at. Obviously rec bettors are going to have an easier time winning money at books with lines that are less sharp(B books). You can't make a book an A book because it's easier to beat, you make them an A book if they have ultimate security, great CS, don't boot winners, have high limits etc...
