Looks like Greek has scaled down the wise guy action
Why??
I would think money not there like it use to be

There are much better options. The Greek really is completely irrelevant

why would they care who wins on the prop bets?
most are at a max wager of $200-$300

The Greek is certainly a non-factor to me these days....as is Pinny and Matchbook.

I'd be fed up too looking at that software all day long, straight out of an early 1990s arcade
Are you serious? I don't even play there but often use the site for quick reference purposes because of the ease of navigability and the usual comprehensive lines. I won't argue about their hold% in certain areas or other stuff you guys are complaining about, but to take a shot at the look of their software? Seriously?
It's always been a million times better than their old partner site, BetJamaica, and the other sites that use simliar software... 5dimes? Cris? Bookmaker?
If you want to tie TheGreek to the 1990's, at least mention their Olympic Sports ads in The Toronto Sun in which they added a sixth ring to the Olympic Rings, as if that would let them off the hook for trademark and copyright infringement.

Some nice aspects of the software. Doesn't log you out. But doesn't display some markets all on the same page so you have to line shop game by game, takes ******* forever

Entertaining thread. I'm far from a sharp or a wiseguy and bet minimum $500 on games. Usually more. There are plenty of idiots like myself that lose. Most people lose. So, thegreek lost all of the Americans, like myself that played there. That's a substantial blow. Not to mention, the asshole Americans that lose their shirt in the online casino. They have to be in trouble. Off topic- I play at BM and I just started trying out Heritage because I'm sick of BM's .20 cent lines. Just love BM because I know they will pay. And familiar with some of their management. When you think about it all the government has to do is shut down a few more Off Shore books and it's all over. How many top tier books are left? Not many. And paying out large sums of $$$ is harder than ever. Nobody wants to do a large wire. SBR Lou said it best- it's like finding someone to do exploratory dental surgery. I must say from my own personal experience that large payouts have gotten very creative. Can't say more than that or I will have no books to play at.
