    I miss The Greek!!!!!!!!
    The Greek switched all their US players to another bookie. I'm only active during Football season and just signed on the new site last week.

    The Greek was WAY better than their substitute. FRICKING DOJ!!!!!!! I want The Greek back.

    I agree, It truly sucks however, I've always said that Spiro was the sharpest man in the industry and with his decision to leave the U.S. market I'm sure there had to be a very valid reason for it. Might I suggest that you play at Bookmaker nowadays though. They are some standup guys and you won't have any hassles there at all what so ever.

      Heritage is just as good as Greek...... -108 beat -110.

      Bookmaker? They don't even have 10 cent lines...

      You can get a better price on Heritage on almost the whole board compared to Bookmaker:

      Arizona +14 -103 (heritage)... +14 -110 (bookmaker)

      Missouri +7.5 -103 (heritage)... +7.5 -110 (bookmaker)

      Florida Int +4 -108 (heritage).... +4 -110 (bookmaker)

      And that was just the first 3 lines for CFB this week.... Heritage deals -108 lines.... Greek & Bookmaker deal -110 lines.


      MLB? Its not even close... Greek=Heritage > > > Bookmaker

      San Fran/SD -139/+129 (Heritage).... -140/+130 (Greek).....-150/+130 (Bookmaker)

      Dodgers/Nationals +108/-118 (Heritage)... +107/-117 (Greek).... +105/-125 (Bookmaker)


      How anyone would recommend Bookmaker over Heritage is amazing to me...


      Even tennis lines are much better at Heritage compared to bookmaker:

      Young/Murray is +1235/-1995 at Heritage... +1200/-1800 at Greek.... +950/-2000 at Bookmaker.

      Muller/Nadal is +1050/-1515 at Heritage... +900/-1400 at Greek.... +900/-1600 at Bookmaker.



      I understand that you have been out of the game for a while BBD... but that advise is horrible... especially since Heritage has great contests that are basically free money (Get out of your bet at halftime once a month) and they pay much faster then Bookmaker.

        All these examples show is that for some things Heritage is best. But overall, I would rather have the Greek and Jamaica, and this is just my opinion. And before Greek left us, we had both the Greek and Heritage. Now we just have Heritage. So this is not good news at all, but it is not the end of the world either.

              This is very true.... I used to regularly use all 3.... now, just Heritage... but I still love Heritage so its not that big of a deal.

                You saying Heritage is better than Greek is Micky Mouse, this is a square shop now and they will limit sharper players to low amounts.
                How does this compare to a book that is/was in the top 3 for Prof. players for a long time?

                      I wish US will have their own online sports betting sites for US players. Then we don't have to give our business to offshore books. The FED Govt should have sites like Matchbook or Betfair to serve US residents.

                          The Greek often has better odds than pinnacle on some markets and they quite often have top prices on mlb. I mysefl am happy that greek left US industry, now I feel much safer playing there.

                            Greek was way easier to use/navigate then Heritage. Plus The Greek posted their lines earlier.

                                Yea, the Greek was the best out for US. I used Heritage before the merger and comparing the two is an insult to the Greek.

                                  "Often" must mean "less than 3% of the time," in your language.
