    I Hate Bookmakers

    Sorry for the rant but I so hate bookmakers and I am pissed. I keep getting cutoff, limited, delayed, or yelled at everywhere.

    I just got cut off at beteagle today and I am up only like 10 dimes there over the 3 weeks I have used them. F@#$ pussies. If beteagle didn't want me to take their money they shouldn't have offered 5c lines and they shouldn't have offered such ridiculous props.

    I also just got cut off by a local and I just got reduced today at another site for beating their crappy lines.

    2 weeks ago, I had one local ask me why I don't use him more. I told him because he is dealing me 10c lines and I want 5c. So, he deals me 5c lines and I crush them and now he is yelling at me. ahole. He is too stupid to realize even that over 2 weeks that 90% of the profit is just positive variance.

    These books should do a better job at setting their lines and somebody like me would not be a problem to them.

    Rant over. Feel free to delete.

    Aren't there exchanges where you can set an early line yourself?

    If you're good at setting lines you can maybe make a nice profit.

    Exchanges like betfair take way too much commission (5%!), often defeats the point. Having said that, betdaq have a 2% commission promo till the end of the year.

    Anyway, 5c lines - bookies need to be damn sharp to survive with those. Pinnies manages, but who else has them? Only dodgy places like evebet. Not surprised a local couldn't handle it. If it's -105 pricing, that's not so bad, plenty places manage to survive with mlb dimelines.

    Matchbook has 2% commission on all sports except for baseball which is 1%. They are the biggest exchange that takes Americans. On top of that they are rated A and pay everyone.

    sorry. 5c a side. -105/-105. Man, having -102/-103 would be insanely awesome. I think it is hard for a book to survive -105/-105. But, don't offer it and then complain when you get beat.

    Sorry about the worthless rant. Was trying to hit bets for tonights game and I got locked out and was super pissed.

    I also hate nearly all bookmakers except of unibet and partybets. And perhaps Pinnacle and greek. The worst books I ever been with are all of this american A- books here at SBR
