    bait and switch?

    I have two bookies ( rated c and d )that show 10 cent baseball lines on their live lines page prior to logging in. Yet when I log in, I find 20 cent lines. One of them says that they have just decided to go to 20 cent lines this year, and the other I have not yet talked to about this. Could they be showing me 20 cent lines, because they have my business locked in for a roll-over, while showing customers who have the opportunity to leave the ten cent lines?

    dafabet does this (not quite as much as you mentioned but a few ticks worse after logging in) in some cases, I believe its location based in their case. If you paid attention it was visible right after login and at that point you could choose just not to make a deposit, not sure if that was the case for you, still annoying though.

    Sometimes it is preseason game lines and the vig will automatically adjust for regular season...

    Alliance has zero interest in booking bases...250 limit is a joke.

    If you want dime lines, heritage and 5d...dime bases and bonus is a recipe for trouble brewing...how does the book make money if they don't shaft depositors or have a ton of bonus whores.

    I know, just giving a reasonable reason for the anomaly is all... but if is a bait and switch is a sh1t move. I might also point out that some shops charge more vig on live action and still advertise the regular lines on the site... not sure how I feel bout this move yet, still thinking on it.
