    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.

    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.

    Yep almost this time last year, third week of July or so. Came home from vacation and found the same email from Bet Jamaica. A real 7 magnitude quake.

    It was last July... so probably fed up with having to run around the damn US Govt all the time, not to mention I heard he was having family issues.

    So if I am taking 5 different games and only picking sides or money lines, they will reduce my limits? That's a pretty crappy book.

    Why are they ranked the #3600 site in the Dominican Republic according to alexa.com? Ten times more popular there than in France and Canada.
