Oly proves why they are #1....again

TTinCO · Aug 2, 2003

It's not like anyone has ever doubted how classy Olympic & it's people are, but this one takes the cake.

There is a HUGE IFC fight event in Denver Sept. 6th----$325 a ringside seat at the Pepsi Center huge (GLOBAL DOMINATION--WORLD CAGE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIPS)

Out of nowhere, Oddessa asks me if I live in or close to Denver & if I'd like a pair of VIP tickets for the fights & the afterparty. Ringside & all.

Oddessa(Joey) is a perfect fit for Spiro & his organization....class all around. Once again, this book & it's people prove why they are the cream of the crop.

Thanks again bud--It's MUCH appreciated.

p.s. Lines on the fights aren't up yet, but will be. I don't know what other books are putting up #'s on these fights-but you know damn well that they won't put up a # until they can copy Oly's (again).

Good to hear it Tin.

One problem bases lines, or I would be there.

I'm staying out of Colorado until the Kobe trial is over .. you never know who that ass pirate will rape next

Wilheim,
You are right, but if you are a square player not trying to middle or scalp the extra 10 cent juice is worth it to know you are going to get paid with no B.S.

Jazz · Aug 2, 2003

cash: you don't get BS from a number of high-quality books (Pinnacle, Canbet, Cascade, Bluegrass, Skybook, etc) on payouts, and Pinnacle has a dime line to boot.

I like Olympic, but for foots and baskets almost solely, as a really solid out. As for baseball, I'm with Wil on this one all the way.

cashingtheticket · Aug 2, 2003

Jazz,
You are right, espically with Pinnacle, but I play just a few baseball games a week so I have just stuck with them and not opened with the other books.

I bet about 50 - 100 a game and just want to know I will get paid. Not implying that they were the only book that would pay, but it does make me have no worries.

Jazz · Aug 2, 2003

Ah, yeah, a few a week at that level, not a big dent.

Oly is distant 2nd to Pinnacle, Pinnacle has half the vig on boxing as Oly. 5 dimes also has much more generous lines. There will be more comp tix for this event than sold tickets, they paper the place so they have an audience for tv.

Pinnacle isn't better than OLY on boxing at all. OLY ALMOST ALWAYS has the lines first and they have a MUCH,MCUH better selection. They have more sides on the fights also.

If you enjoy playing props, Olympic is very good but if you play straight up sides and totals there are much better places to play.

areeff · Aug 3, 2003

How are you getting these "freebies" ttinco. I've never seen a book giveout tickets or anything and that includes books dropping 10-20 dimes at.

jjgold · Aug 3, 2003

Greek is not even close anymore to the top book period. If you think they are you better learn more. Most of Greeks prices are over inflated and many many suckers bet into their lines and I feel sorry for you

Pinnacle by far is the number #1 book followed by these

Grande
Canbet
BetFair

I need to learn because Oly is a top 3. They do not care for bases players. They want hoops & foots, and if you are unhappy with .20, then go elsewhere. Oly is top notch and in a position to do what they want, when they want. Solid as Sears

Dante · Aug 3, 2003

have a great time Tin...Oly is a rock solid book always was, always will be IMO

jls626 · Aug 3, 2003

Olympic is smart having 20 cent lines in bases! Most books stay open for baseball just to keep their customers! Actually books hate taking baseball!Enough shops out there to choose from if not happy!

TTinCO · Aug 3, 2003

Well said jls626.....I agree 100%.

Bases is little more than a necessary evil in today's market. Nobody really wants to book it, but everyone basically has to.

Thanks again Oddessa\Joey\Spiro\Oly. Class act all the way.

"Pinnacle isn't better than OLY on boxing at all. OLY ALMOST ALWAYS has the lines first and they have a MUCH,MCUH better selection. They have more sides on the fights also."

Um....If Oly didn't put #'s up on about 90% of the fights, most books wouldn't know what to do.

Oly makes the # when it comes to fights.

Yes, I realize that. There are a lot of copycat books. My only point was, would you rather have 2 fights to chose from (pinnacle right now), or 50-100 fights to pick from (olympic). I'd rather have the 50-100 because it's more likely that you find a bad # in there if you know the sport very well.

TTinCO · Aug 3, 2003

Absolutely Val......

Books would probably offer nothing but the PPV fights if Joey\Oddessa didn't set a #.

Oly proves why they are #1....again
