They don't for me. Always up until tip off.

I've seen them do this with WNBA but not for NBA and college games.

Think he means the foreign games. See it all the time with the Europe/Australian/etc

Never understood it either

Perhaps they’ve been burned too many times with games tipping off before they take the games off the board?

Its always with Euro games (France, Germany, etc) and WNBA games. Just annoying to have to wait for the game to start and inevitably the team I like scores in the first 10 seconds

they have shiity limits for eurobasketball. i dont understand why. start as 100 max then 500 before tip off. sucks. and live is 1000 i believe for some reason

Yeah this has always seemed weird to me, why do they take higher live limits than pre flop?

Because the margins are wider, and I don't think they set their own lines on the EuroLeague and probably whoever does has proven they can provide a good hold.

bovada and BAS have good limits for eurobasket, going to have to use them for it

Reminds me a little of the BAS "maintenance" a couple months ago.

But Bookmaker isn't rinky dink. They obviously screwed something up for it to take much longer than they anticipated, but if they're doing a software upgrade, I don't expect it to be an actual downgrade like BAS was.
