college basketball i would make them a C book
all other sports i would rank them A
i called the other day and asked them what was up with limits and lines not being posted sooner
it was a day with only 16 NCAAB games and nothing else no football etc
i was told the lines move to much
i said they only have 16 games OTB
they do pay fast though so that is a +

Im just glad I still have 5dimes...
I was expecting better than this from bet islands though...

If you don't have a linesman dedicated to CBB totals, waiting to put them up is simply good defense. It sucks for bettors, but it is good for the book's longevity.

I would bet that once football season passes, they will put a bit more focus on this.

it's not just totals
its sides also (only for 1st halfs)
sides are up for the full game
all 1st half lines are non existent until 2 hours before tip

How hard is it for them to put some monkey in front of a computer and watch Pinny's numbers. When ever they move you move and pull a heritage by making it -120 on the hot side.

What are their side limits on college basketball? And about what time do they put those up?
And on the website it says, "-107 for basketball & free half points." is that right? Do you really get both?
