    Betonline's Ridiculous tennis bookmaking

    3 days in a row, I start betting tennis matches at several books, including BetOnline. About half way through, Betonline takes down almost all of their tennis matches. Their prices aren't off market or anything, but it prevents me from betting them (with my already reduced limits).

    This has to be one of the most ridiculous countermeasures I have ever seen a book use. If you're going to deal a 16-cent line and want to play with the sharps, you have to take the bets.

    If only there was a feature that allowed you to put in multiple bets simultaneously.

    Perhaps you should take your own advice. Except that you aren´t capable of thinking on your own.

    Technically, I am a consultant, not an employee. If I couldn't bet, I'd have to pass on helping players and bet instead.

    Fair enough that BOL pay for being a sponsor but putting them on a recommended list of around 13 books is not something I would have expected from sbr. Had it been therx or covers, it would make sense.

    If lowered betting limits are acceptable, why is this not a legitimate counter-measure?

    Can we expect at least one of these chest pounding threads per week from you?

    Are you trying to go tout? Serious question.

    Isn't it? You'd be amazed at the information that leaks in once a problem is posted.

    Right. Get over yourself. Because there are SO many options out there.

    If you don't know your other options to begin with and NEED charity work from someone else, you're an absolute moron.

    Do you actually believe the bullshit you spew on here incessantly?

    It is rather funny to see you essentially fully admit that these braggart threads are nothing but you holding out a tin can though. Cheers.

    Think of it like this...

    Imagine there was news of a huge hurricane hitting the whole east coast, and sharp money was pounding all the NFL unders. Books would be smart to take their lines OTB for a while to re-adjust.

    You are the hurricane Justin7.
