    What is BetOnline's sister site that offers lower vig?

    The answer is yes.

    Go to lowvig, you can open an account.

    Unless we are somehow slipping through the cracks.

    lol.

    You are not slipping through the cracks. Management has confirmed that accounts at sister books are allowed, but they will sometimes put limitations on your account if they catch you routinely using the accounts to exceed their betting limits, especially in exploitable markets.

    It's lower vig. Lower limits. And lower level of CS.

    Good shop but if you are the type of player who wants to email CS and ask to have bets cancelled or ask questions quickly before betting, this is not the shop for you. Next day email replies is what they offer (at the quickest).

    Maybe. I think Lowvig intentionally handles it that way so people don't get expectations that are not offered.

    Lowvig is good if you already know your way around BetOnline (since the interface is the same) and can maneuver the site without anticipating assistance which gives you better vig in return (along with not taking bonuses or other promotions).

    A few questions:

    1. It sounds like they are run by the same umbrella operation, so that would mean my funds are just as safe at lowvig as BOL?
    2. For MLB, since lowvig only gives the better pricing for totals and run lines, it'd be easier for me to just bet those there and leave my ML/1st half action at BOL. Should I be giving lowvig some of the ML action to mix with the totals? Or do they see the BOL/lowvig accounts as one in which case I'm not risking anything by looking extra sharp on lowvig but normal sharp on BOL?

    1) Your funds are just as safe at either.
    2) You don't need to hide your action on either of them. They are more tolerant of sharps than most books.

    Yeah, they're missing at the moment. They just underwent a big restructuring of their categories with sports starting up again, so perhaps this was overlooked.

    Kind of. But the first game is over a month away (barring delay). Lots of teams don't even know who their quarterback is going to be yet, and players are opting out left and right. I don't imagine they're getting a ton of action on those lines right now.

    I got Titans over a month ago. +3

    It’s now +1 or 1.5 most places.

    Lol

    You want to wait for a bad line? Tenny will be the favorite by the time they but up their line. Lol

    Hence they lost my action. Hence another book got it.

    Okay...


    LMAO

    Cheers...

    Does anyone have examples of major limiting at lowvig? Am spanking them pretty good and fear that the end is near.

    I'd be leery of the awful CS at LowVig. In my case, they haven't replied to emails at all, and you cant call or live chat with them. Is it worth the reduced juice? I'm starting to really wonder if it is

    I am crushing them vs market on a big spread of bets and haven't been limited yet. They do move more on my action now though.

    Very interesting. Am crushing them as well and they move the market on every single play that I make. Perhaps they accept the loss to sharps in exchange for adjusting the market for their squares?
