Opinionated lines, are only opinionated, in the mind of the person making the opinion. If that makes any sense. I understand lines that are not consensus or cloned, are possibly what you mean by opinionated. The trick is to find a book who's opinions, therefore there lines, are weak. Not very easy to do anymore. I much prefer to form my own opinion on what a line should be, if I come up with a significent difference between my line and my books line, I have a bet.

An opinionated line is one that the book either makes themselves. Purpose is to have another option. If the line is different it will be in your favor half the times.
Weak line? If you mean prices we are assuming they are in the same vig and if its a dime line the other is a dime line for this comparison.
If books are too opinionated then they go bankrupt like Aces gold did offering 3.5 on the superbowl when everyone else had 3. They still have to even out the money otherwise they are betting with our money.
NO 7 minute time-out!!!
It is the number one thing I look for with all other things being equal!!!
Next.......
I want the book to list ALL the games!!
If a game is off the board then list the damn game OTB!! Or No Line!!!
Do NOT just skip the game!!!
Even for games like MI/Minn that was on the schedule for Saturday but played yesterday, the book should list the game with a note on the screen "already played" or something to that effect!
Every game should be listed, even on a Monday when books are putting up the NFL lines but don't put up the teams from the Monday night game.
That match-ups should be listed because the game IS going to be played, right?
So list the game with OTB...
The books in LV don't skip a game on their board and the off-shore books should realize that they shouldn't either!!!
It amazes me that some BIG time books don't understand this...Oly and Pinnacle for example.
But some of the smaller joints like PCI and Blue Marlin do...hell even SIA understands that ALL the games should be listed on the screen!!!
So Mister Bookie if your book does NOT time-out in 30 minutes and you list ALL the games...
Speak-up because I will sign-up!!
