Are we making progress in ridding ourselves of 20 cent lines in BASES??

I think we have made significant progress on this front in the past year by letting our opinions be known on this subject in public forums such as THERX and others.

Not suggesting that just the forums were a result of this, but I think it most certainly added pressure to the 20 cent line shops.


OLYMPIC stands out to me for making the change, but there have been others that have followed suit also.

Just a couple of years ago wasn't there a couple of the bigger sportsbooks trying to get everyone to switch to the 20 cent lines. I think i read that here at the rx. How times change.

I don't mind if some books go with a 20 cent line if that means they can afford to offer a few opinions.

I would be very happy if Cris would follow suit even if that meant lesser limits.

Indispensable book for me except in the summer. I don't like to have to empty my account in the spring and reload in the fall but it is not worth leaving a balance in there as it now stands.

I'm a loyal and dedicated customer so I stay at my shop regardless of their 20 cent lines!

Mr Jones,
I wonder if they would transfer your balance to Option Sports for the summer. They oversee this book in their building. 10 cent lines.

CRIS started it all, I am sure they will be the last to admit they could deal a dime line and live through it.
