Im sure with the many users here at the SBR - someone can offer me a solution to what Im looking for without this thread turning into the ramblings that most do.
With Matchbook now closed to US players, and no more Tradesports, I am choosing not to use any of these exchanges that are unrated by the SBR. If they get rated and are viable in the future, great. I wont be the one trying them out.
What I am looking for is as follows:
1) A book that allows a US player
2) A solid SBR rating. I will not go below a B rating.
3) Must offer live/in game trading on national television events. (I understand it wont be in the form of an exchange)
4) I am not looking for the type of ingame wagering that 5dimes (as an example) offers. What 5 dimes does is they adjust the spread. For example Celtics @ Lakers, Opening line LAL -3.5 with a total of 188.5. If the Lakers were to go up in that game 47-32 at halftime (or at any commercial but use halftime for ease) - 5 dimes would post lines based on what they feel would be -110. So they may post LAL -13.5 -110, or Over/Under 162.5 -110.
5) I want a book that adjusts the +/- money line, not the points. So using the above senario - I would rather be able to bet the Lakers at -3.5, -400 or the Celtics at +3.5 +350. Same with the over under - Under 188.5 -500.
I would rather it this way, as I will be able to figure out my position on my own. I understand there will not be any smart balance allowing me to keep wagering money once I do have something on both sides. But this is much easier than having a -3.5 pregame, then a +7.5 ingame, then a -1.5, etc etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Todd
