    Why does Bovada/bodog suck for early lines?

    Why do they wait so long to post lines when every other book is doing it the night before? It is 8am my time and they have yet to post basketball lines.

    Most books suck these days when it comes to putting up lines early. These books want all the other books to have the lines sharpened up before they post.

    It's been their model for a long time. They want recreational action and not the early-blasting sharps.

    If you want to hit earlier lines, you need other outs like bookmaker.

    They allow all of the other books to do the heavy lifting, B4 posting any lines.

    It avoids the risk of posting bad lines, being middle, or any actual bookmaking.
