Some know this but 5D is the only book most likely to oblige their wagering clerks to participate in live moving, props, grading, typing, etc. After all these years they still use the ASI-Ticketwriter software, which is slow and saturated with 5D's crazy varierty of lines and sports. The system freezes often and lines are not moved as quickly. Some clerks are really talented at it since they have previous Props/Lines experience at other books, but some have no clue what they are doing, they move without really understanding why or are not capable of juicing/bumping lines correctly. A lot of the clerks smoke pot, a vast majority you could say, thus making them more prone to mistakes. During mornings people are more focused and less prone to be distracted, in the afternoon, since most people come in there is a more relaxed environment, and most party guys work the afternoon shift instead of mornings, often coming in stoned to kill the hangover.

Main sport lines (NFL-NBA-MLB-NCAA FB & BK) are managed by the main stage... 4-5 linemovers work simultaneously here, they are moved with Pinny and Cris MAINLY, Tony might get creative with some lines and part ways with the market. These are the less vulnerable lines, obviously the time to attack is at night rather than during the day, when Tony is gone however the night team is efficient and well managed by the night manager, who is Tony's right hand.
Best time to attack: During rush hour or at nights.

NHL: Contrary to popular believe, NHL is not moved by the main stage during regular season, during playoffs and especially Stanley Cup finals stage might take over due to the importance of the games and the volume of the action. 2 movers per shift. However, during RS there is a established 4-5 clerk NHL team on wagering that move again on Cris and Pinny, bump lines based on their sharp player's action (these players are limited and are kept for information purposes mainly).
Best time to attack: In the afernoon.

Soccer: Soccer has their own department, and they don't make mistakes often, they only have 2 movers per shift excep nightshift (one only), really hard for 1 person to manage all the overnight lines plus the other leagues especially just before the weekends. They move with Pinny and Cris but also consult European outlets such as William Hill, Bet Fair, Bet 365. Betradar is used. No clerks partake in this movement.
Best time to attack: Overnight, 1am-3am on tuesdays-fridays (just when asian leagues are going off morning-afternoon leagues are left a little vulnerable with just one mover).

Tennis: Tennis has their own department, but they make mistakes often; is not that they are not efficient, they are for the most part but they only have 1 GUY per shift, really hard for 1 person to manage the huge opening rounds. They move with Pinny and Cris but also consult European outlets such as William Hill, Bet Fair, Bet 365. Betradar is used. No clerks partake in this movement.
Best time to attack: During the early rounds especially if there are 3-5 tournaments on the board. Over night.

The latter lmao. 95% of their employees hate him. They only bow down to keep their jobs... working there is not bad at all, but it would be incredible if the guy was never in the office. His daily rants wear people down, his favorite song is the sound of his own voice.

Most other big bookies Ive spoken with dont like him either. He is really a douche.

Yeah I've had my run ins with him. I also had 18k disappear from my account and they told me I lost it playing single zero roulette from my IP address,a game I had never played on there. They eventually put it back in my account, but I always thought Tony did it to mess with me.

What famous person would you say he resembles? I always thought of him as resembling George Wendt during one of those "da bears" skits

NHL - you said lines move with Pinny and Cris and also get bumped from their sharp players action. So would you say a line change between 11am - 4pm Central would be a good read on sharp players action ? Or a different afternoon timeframe? Are lines weakest at opening would you say? great info....just want to understand it best for my use.

Lines are moved on sharp action and CRIS/PINNY action 24/7, how to spot the difference? check pinny and cris and if 5d has something different it might be due to heavy one sided action or a sharp player moving the line, for the most part they follow blindly. Mornings especially, Tony arrives 1pm ET at the earliest and usually stays till 10pm ET.

Thanks PR. I suspect someone taking too much advantage of this stuff will be in line for the dreaded "chat with Tony".
