The Greek Mainly A Non Factor Book Now

[jjgold]

Use to be top shelf
They pulled out of USA Market and it really hurt their volume
Now they want only losers from Canada and Europe
Make up rules as they go to discourage sharp players

lack of volume=scared

what rules coach?

[SlickFazzer]

Is spiro still the head nuts there?

[jjgold]

Lets just say they do not want you betting only specialty type bets

They want you betting everything

Odd rule not posted on their site but it chases sharps

[poloyol]

I dont know about that...i don't use them anymore but know big guys that still use them.
Stop assuming Americans don't use them...many US players still do business with Greek.

[poloyol]

Double j....I sometimes wonder where you get your info.

[jjgold]

Polker I do not know about that

Its a good football/hoops book still but volume not as high as once was

Too many top shelf forcing books chipped away at their customer base the last 2-3 years

[No coincidences]

Is spiro still the head nuts there?

Spiros isn't there anymore.

[poloyol]

The guys i know that wager there are not sharps...i use to know a couple LOL
They still except large wagers..not afraid of the action

[poloyol]

As for having a large clientele...don't know???
I would assume...as they are creditable.

[Brock Landers]

They were fukking stupid to leave the US market, 80+% of their customer base.

[poloyol]

I'm sure they still have many US players playing there!!!
Very crediable book!!!Not many out there

[Sam Odom]

Double j....I sometimes wonder where you get your info.

[Roxxyfish]

I still use them and i cant say anything bad

[No coincidences]

I still use them and i cant say anything bad

Their lines aren't nearly as sharp as they once were.

Greek used to be pacesetters like Pinny. Now it's just another book.

[Big_Slim]

I would say Heritage is filling the void perfectly!...They'll take some pretty decent size bets if you call them!...plus they pay hella quick

I would also advise everyone here to use a local if possible too in addition to your regular postup book for football...Its a good out to have if you use'em responsibly!

[jjgold]

They do pay of course and fast
I think my point is they drifted away from the sharp player action and discourage it

[Big_Slim]

Gold do you think that they are in the Central American drug trafficking business being that they loss a HUGE amount of volume by exiting the American market???

Gotta wonder what some of these books do to stay alive especially when they leave America....You're doing good by holding 5% when running a sports book and thats nothing with all the overhead etc.

He left once they cut off American players.

Also he has an ill mother that he is taking care of.

[Nicky Santoro]

actually, the GREEK has some amazing baseball lines. they have dime lines, and you can find some really nice dog prices there at times.

but that's it.. just for baseball.. GREEK ain't good for anything else..

[jjgold]

Nicky why did they go to dime lines?????

They never did before

[Sam Odom]

jj , Spiros said years ago he didnt care if he took any baseball action so 20c lines would stay

Some say he is retired now so...

[minet123]

ATTN SUMMER FILL IN JJ

1st shift JJ is personal friends with Spiro and yes JJ would call the Greek out, he would NEVER call Spiro scared
....
Summer fill in JJ please pay attention when you are briefed on 1st shift JJ long history in this business
.....
Summer fill in JJ

[jjgold]

So Spiro does not own it anymore?

[Smoke]

Nicky why did they go to dime lines?????

They never did before

[Nicky Santoro]

they did. how can you not know this? i think it was about 5 yrs ago he went to 10 cent lines. they really do have great lines in bases. he has some very opinionated lines too.

[minet123]

And to address Summer Fill in JJ's point

The Greek takes plenty of US based action
Just like
Pinnacle
CRIS
Grande
Catalina
Top Cat
Tradewinds
Legends
etc etc
When you see SBR odds or Sports option light up
It's NOT because your $200 freeplay wager, that you got with 3000 of Walker's pizza points,has had any factor
Credit is what moves those numbers
Real books could give three rat fuks about post up
Post up players are a pain in the azz and represent hardly any volume
Post up players who post across forumville represent less
It's a service

[jjgold]

I might call Greek and get a feel for them

[Vinnie Paz]

Just opened greek account like a week pr 2 ago. Nothing too special about the odds that you cant find elsewhere. They have lines up early as hell though. Mlb im talking...

[mathdotcom]

Greek has a ton of 'policies' they don't mention on their site

The main one: if you give them "unbalanced" action they will cut your limits
