Thanks guys. Was hoping to hear Lenny or Will. I've never played with either and was thinking of one or the other.

Mr. Jones,

I'm not sure if we are considered a upper-tier book, but we post lines Sunday night for the following Saturday games and intentionally try to hang different numbers. The term "opionated lines" is an interesting one. Just becuz a line is different why does it have to be labeled "opionated"? The answer is the internet. Before everyone could see everyone else's lines on the internet, everyone had different lines and none were labeled opionated. My handicappers maybe see some games different than the handicappers at Cris or Oly. I don't it makes my lines opionated, just different. Anyway, we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of action the first week, but it has dropped steadily each week.
Hope this helps.

I consider CASCADE to be UPPER TIER...

Lenny is very respected and admired by his peers, as well...

Oh, and I like you guy, too...

Your right Shrink.

How could I forget Lenny.

No doubt Cascade is UPPER TIER in my mind. He makes good points about so-called "opinionated" lines too. No doubt his lines are different from other books. A must out for any sort of gambler.

pinny and cascade........

as far as upper tier books that "POST" lines for "EVERYBODY" to see......these two are good

CountryDickMontana · Sep 19, 2003

Cascade!!! Check their lines!!! Opiniated, but right on!!!Buyer beware, if Lenny's selling, I aint buying!

Bodog's line are so opiniated that I am thinking of joining this book.

Fishhead · Sep 19, 2003

BODOG- 25% BONUS, DIME LINES, OPINIONATED LINES, AND GREAT CLERKS. YOU COULD DO A WHOLE LOT WORSE.

i had just noticed that in the last couple of days. on top of the 25% bonuses including reups it screams scam to me. several others small matters ( lesbian pretence from supposed female staff reporter ) leave me extremely unimpressed.

i would not post with them in a million years.

Yes, but they are advertisers here at the RX, so I got to post with them. Time for some high class drama. Lets see what the Shrink has to comment on this. Agenda?

There lines are sweet until you play them. You will be promptly dualed with ordinary vanilla lines in a matter of days.

It's hanging a line that is slightly off the consensus (the norm) in order to draw action to the side with percieved value. Guys like Pinnacle & Cascade will empty your pockets if you play into their opinionated lines.

ie.
Basically everyone has NYY -200

Pin thinks that's a bad price, and lays NYY -183 ..

that's forming an opininon.
