I remember talking to Spiro in early July, and he just seemed drained/exhausted/fed up with the industry. Always was a guy who was easy to talk to, but really just seemed completely out of it.Comment -
what's he fed up with?
I'd be fed up too looking at that software all day long, straight out of an early 1990s arcadeComment -
They alwayss pay. That's the # 1 factor. Of course there juice lines always suck but there bases lines are ok and they move slow and almost always last.Comment -
after pinnacle left, thegreek was my ONLY book, sad to see them gone too, loved their DCComment -
You people are so ******* stupid, they get plenty action from the U.S.
They are smart, officially leaving the market so your god damn government leaves them alone, while keeping all serious bettors.
You clowns on this board don't bet there now, that's obvious, but who cares about your air and 50$ bets?Comment -
You'd be hard pressed to find a better book for lines and for reliablity than The Greek were.
They left the Us market not by choice from what I understand.
But Spiro and Wally were good to me during my time there, At times I thought they were cheap, but as I
deal with new book after new book looking for something to stick, I realize how good I had it there.
I think they had the best lines as well, it seemed other books were off in comparison.
And the customer service in these new places sucks, nobody gives a shit about anything. it's almost like saying "yeah what are you gonna do about it"
Whatever Spiro and Wally are doing now I wish them the best.Comment -
So why do they threaten to stop taking action if you do not give them balanced action??
Does anyone know??Comment -
They don't like bettors that come in and bet props only. It has nothing to do with betting major sports. No one has gotten booted ever betting major sports at the greek, unless 80% of his action is props and the other is only 20%. Wiseguys are not going to lose betting props and its one-way action on most of them with no buy backs. They are not in busisness to give money away they in it to earn money. Some people just don't really know whats it like on the other side of the counter. How fast do you think they put up all their 2nd halfs on hoops and football? The last thing is that they are scared to take a bet from any wiseguy in the world on major sports period. They made a business decision to quit catering to US customers, its not what they really wanted, sometimes in this business you have to make decisions, its not always the right one's.Comment -
So why do they offer Props then??
If your putting them up who cares if that is all you bet???Comment -
Because they are not in business to feed wiseguys betting props. The main reason books deal props is to cater to the squares that post-up not to BONUS WHORES and WISEGUYS looking to pick you a part with them. Why are they so scared to bet equal amount on major sports? I will answer the question because the lines are HORRIBLE and they are PURE STEALING.Comment -
They should get a better prop linesmaker then
I might call themComment -
Wiseguys will brutalize props no matter who the prop linesman is. Do you think Pinnacle makes money off of props? Not no but hell no. They will skin you alive, its more than one-way to skin a cat and catering to wiseguys that are betting mostly props only,isn't one of them.Comment -
Maybe the reason they dont like prop betters is because they dont get equal action on both sides.
I dont know that wiseguys are any better at picking props than anyone else. Some of those prop bets are completely stupid, they are just for people who like to be entertained.
I dont consider halftime lines a "prop" bet. A prop bet is "who will have the first error in the game"
if a wiseguy can figure that out, i guess they are really wise.Comment -
What's so hard about making a good prop line when you're dealing 30c juice?
Why do they offer props at all then?Comment -
HT lines are not props. They are not stealing nothing with that prop you hand picked, like I said they will hand pick you and brutalize you with props. Example: You might see a prop -130 when the correct line should be -200, they know which one's are off, they have so many to choose from and thats the ADVANTAGE they have.Comment -
Their 'unbalanced action' excuse is just a way of saying 'we don't want pro action'. The same as when they get mad and cut you 500 globals when you miss a day of betting, calling you an Indian and accusing you of taking your winnnings and running... just because you didnt bet for one gdmn day. It's just a smokescreen, they are too ashamed to admit that they don't want the pro action.Comment -
100% agree with you on PROPS. 100% DISAGREE with you with MAJOR SPORTS. You can bet them whatever falls out your pocket on any MAJOR SPORTS. They don't want WISEGUY ACTION on PROPS. I guess they don't like DONATING to the WISEGUY FOUNDATION.LMAO. Some people just don't understand on the other side of the counter...Comment -
who is this rainbow poster
how does he know so much about the greek
does he work for them or something?Comment -
Seems we exposed a weakness at the Greek
This thread served its purpose
They need to make some changesComment -
Well, I can do that myself with football lines, particularly college. Some low key college teams are usually off. Most handicappers are looking for "off" lines, why are props more feared?
Must be the unequal action.Comment -
Again, if one is a handicapper, it doesnt matter if its a propr or a game, they can find the line weaknessComment -
Maybe you should have done that before you started this thread. You obviously know very little about the true goings on at that out but are more than willing to start a very opinionated thread about it.
Like most of your threads lately there is not much substance to the headline or content.Comment -
wrong.Comment
