Why is Pinnacle trying to keep people away so strongly from Portugal? they have a really high -524. Other shops I just looked at are -333 to -370 only and those are the high vig shops. Pinnacle has Iraq at +1149 and others might have +650. Im talking 3 way lines on these.

Is Pinnicle right usually I dont play a -340 type of favorite but if they are 200 points low I guess thats a good enough overlay right?

I need Iraq, actually 5 dimes made a mistake on this game having Portugal +900, switched it and then made Iraq -0.5 +915. I didnt know it was a bad line

rail,
are you serious you didn't know that was a bad line? I have a hard time believing you, knowing you do your due diligence that you bet into that not knowing it was a bad line.

Strange stuff, watch the game on msnbc and just after the game msnb goes back to the news. Lead story, the violence and battles going on in Iraq. Geeeee can't we all just get along. I just don't get this stuff.

Pinnacle you losers! (kidding) I cant believe that you steered me to lay that much wood at another shop on Portugal thinking it was the right side. I thought you were so sharp. damn.

serioulsy a game like this is why I have a problem when any sportsbook claims "bad line" after an event has started and would try not to pay a confirmed wager.

Here is a true example where great books all had different prices on Portugal (-250 points different, and including the 5 dimes lines they wanted to give very different. 5dimes, pinnacle, vipsports, all different all OK to wager on.

Dont want to hear of any "bad line" stuff for a -180 line being posted -120 by mistake. stuff like that.

seriously that group defining length of time for slow pay (6 months, 3 months) why not make a definition on what is and what is not a "Bad line" and stick the off shore books and the players to it. down grade books that claim a "bad line" that are outside of the guidelines set up. That would be a great idea.

They are pretty square when it comes to soccer, 3 way euro coupon and asian handicaps.

Sharp books on soccer premierbet, bet365 asian handicaps, sometimes ladbrokes but their margins are a little high so you don't notice when their very short as they would be anyway as their margins are higher than most books.

got it
