    If they're not open to the states anymore, and Pinny 95% of the time has a btr price and higher limits...who still bets there?

    I know they are often 0.5 points off the rest of the board but even in pinnys drop down menu you can get less than -11 most of the time and a higher limit.

    You're right.

    I continue to maintain my account with a smaller balance because occasionally I can find a price better (mostly on tennis at small limits) than at Pinnacle, BetFair or Matchbook, but not very often.

            maybe like a couple mins earlier on big games...still do not see how they get much action.

            I doubt they get much in Europe, no states?

            what other country could they get a lot of players from?

                  you could wonder that about any other bookie but the truth is that every bookie has its own faithful customers and every bookie has few hidden gems if you dig for those

                    ha ha. I always love these snide ass comments. Rather than actually answering a question or trying to assist another poster, a dude will just drop a bitch attitude.

                    It's like, "Uh, excuse me, can you tell me where Jefferson St is in downtown?"

                    Answer: "Yes, go north 10 paces, then south 10 paces, then east 10 paces, then west 10 paces. You'll find yourself in the exact same spot with your dick in your hand." Speeds off.

                          Better odds on 1 side compared to Pinny often...
                          how can you not see this, iam a line shopper and you have to be pretty much blind to not realize the Greek is good to have.

                          ...and some rich people obv. prefer playing at a rock solid book, compared to exchanges.
                          They also never dick ppl around. If i'd be rich, i would never bother with shit houses like Betfair. Some ppl don't get it, desperate internet gamblers or sharps are the minority.

                            they have good lines on certain games and they are slow to move. the only problem is if they never move.

                                that's the thing if you chase steam u get limited or phone account only.

                                if they dont move, spiro wants a position.

                                  How do you get an account on credit there in the U.S.? I assume you must of had a longstanding account with them or something.

                                    its not only about chasing steam. they sometimes set there own position with a move. thats when i use that position to get a better line elsewhere.

                                        They post lines early. They post halftimes often first. They take opinions on lots of games. They offer many props.

                                        I'm not sure whether they offer credit or not but either they do or they have books that copy their lines and do. I've never gotten a straight answer but can get their lines.

                                          Yes, if you play steam. However after i took a break and lost some arbs, they raised my limits again...
                                          this book is as fair as it gets, it's one of the few shops that deserve a P rating.

                                            They are a good book for pro players. Pro players, even US, take extreme measures to play there.

                                                Interesting choice when they decided to abandon standard rotation numbers. I know for sure they lost some big clients. Line shoppers had to give them a pass.. They sometimes have some really good positions on MMA.
