        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 only using them as a "low limit" book since they are still new...

          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.

                      so you're saying bet islands is not a good book for bettors...

                        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?
