I totally agree. Big books like WSEX and Grande with a long history and large client base don't have to offer dime lines, but they do and IMO it puts them far in front of the other "big" guys.
I still don't understand why a book wouldn't take a smaller profit margin paired with higher volume and also keep all of their clientele playing with them year round, rather than gouge them until their clients leave and go out and sign up with other books and maybe never return. To me, it's just bad business.

This was similar to what went on where I was from. What happened is books only wanted to stay open for football and take off the rest of the year. Bases the margin is small and you have to work every day, it sucks. Eventually several in the town over poker games etc... started to get together and do what Joey is saying here. If they don't take our action in bases and hoops lets not give them our football either. Put a little incentive in books to stay open all year long instead of just for football.
Don't get me wrong they never dealt 10 cent lines but they did force them to stay open year round. People coming together can do a lot when organized.

Not only do I believe that posters should reward the good books with their business, but more importantly, spread the word...
We have so many threads started about bad books, but the newbies and many regulars would be helped just as much by reading threads devoted to positive experiences...
Just a thought..
