The Greek,max stakes lower and lower...

[tristan]

Hi everybody. I 've used The Greek for a long time, and contrary to some books who try to improve themselves, i think that the Greek becomes less and less good with time. First, lines are displayed very very late, for some events sometimes a few minutes before start of the event, and bigger inconvenient: the max stakes that The greek allows are lower and lower. I have a look at euroleague tonight (for tomorrow matches, euroleague basketball) and for example for the match siena / galatasaray, if i want to bet siena handicap -9.5, i see that max bet is 40.24 usd !!!Is it a joke ??? Euroleague is the most important competition for european basketball, and the greek is said to be a book for professionnal gamblers, but a max bet of 40.24 ??? I first believed my account was restricted, but i think no, it's the same for everyone. Could someone have a look now please and check if max bet is 40.24 too? (select basketball, euro only, siena -9.5. Do as if you wanted to place a bet of 1 usd, which is not possible, and minimum and max bet will appear...
In the past it was possible to place big bets as 250 usd without any problem, but i noticed The greek reduced its stakes on most of sports..Not rated A any more for me... 40.24 usd, the good joke...

I don't bet on Euro b'ball so don't know what is normal there but I can bet $50 on that line.

But just recently I found that they had actually INCREASED their limits on tennis which I do play regularly from a standard $300 to at least $500 and up to $1000.

yes i've noticed it too but the problem is there: for most of events, for tennis such as for basketball, they increase limits when time passes and event is about to start. in fact yes, limits are generally higher 1 hour before the start of the event, but it's not possible for everyone to be in front of computer just before start of the event, so they could allow correct limits much before....The Greek is not what i call a A-rated book for professionnal gamblers !

They raise their limits as the market matures. All books that take serious action do this.
