    What reputable bookmaker closes lines the latest?

    I am trying to find an online book that closes lines the latest. Sometimes my picks come in just before gametime and I've had some trouble getting them in. I've heard that Bookmaker.com closes 5 minutes after post....can anyone confirm this? Are there any others that close late? Any info is greatly appreciated.

    Bookmaker definitely closes the line the latest of the top books I have used. 5dimes also closes late.

    Yep, I will have several sites open and see 5dimes still have games open when other sites have taken them off the board. But we are talking about seconds here. Even if a game or two stays up perhaps a minute longer, can that really help you out? You are not looking to past post are you? 5dimes will honor any bets accepted, but I don't think you will be able to watch the start of a game and then get a bet down.

    Pinny usually takes the game off right at the time mark for almost all ncaa basketball games. Sometimes they leave nationally televised games up until about tip. For pro sports they leave the game up a little longer usually. They also take away the option to buy or sell points using the drop down menu a couple of minutes before the time listed.

    Sometimes Greek and BetJM will wait a little longer, but not always.
