    MLB Overnights: Betonline posting before Pinnacle?

    I don't recall this happening before.

    Hats off to BetOnline for aggressively posting overnights (and with a 10c line on MLs)

    Completely not true. They have really turned the corner in the past year.

    I agree. They are making intelligent risk management decisions. Bonuses are most conservative. I know some pro players that were politely shown the door, but treated professionally and paid promptly (one beat them out of 250k).

    I think they might deserve an A- rating (my opinion, which never represents SBR on ratings).

    Just to quote one bullshit from their site...
    The Better Bonus Guarantee

    We laugh in the face of those paltry 10-20% “WELCOME” bonuses with 20x rollover--What are they afraid of? Can’t they do the math? Bring your BEST bonus offer to us and we’ll meet or beat it -- we CAN do the math.


    You call this an A book worthy, 99.9% safe outfit?
    Don't make me laugh.

    Their deposit/withdrawal options are very limited, but they make up for this with xfers to just about everyone. Very flexible. They're just below the tier of books that offer all xfers and options (Cris/Dimes/Greek/Pinny... and that may be it). Actually some of the ones I listed don't offer some options.

    Thanks for the tip-off, added them to my screen. I'm curious to see if they're any good at this.

    The only thing I wish they'd change is originating props instead of copying others. It's a small complaint, very happy with everything else there, one of the few books that will actually take a bet.

    Got to give BOL Alex credit here. Justin is correct, since he took control the change has been amazing. Since I can't play there I can be plenty objective. A- is probably the correct rating at this point. Lines are not as opinionated as they once were, but that is probably a good thing for them!! lol

    They are recreational/professional friendly, with a lean towards professional. Not many places can say that anymore.

    Yes and they are shady about which bonuses they offer. Don't assume because it's on the front page it's real.

    Compliments may be going to their head as they still haven't posted MLB lines for tomorrow's games.

    Any reason why you won't post MLB series lines, even upon request, for series that begin on Thursday when you do it for series beginning every other day of the week?

    I told Alex to bring them back, he said "sorry we have people that can do basic math here now".
