Been using them for sometime now. Their reduced juice club (-105) is a great perk. Also, they are a sister book of VIP Sports.

When I, God forbid, played the underdog I had to call the manager & was booted within a week ... what a prick that guy was. He talks to you like your some sort of asshole .. which I probably am, but he does it to everyone else too I hear.

I'm not sure if the same guy is running the show.

Five Card, Fair deal and legal sports book use to be owned by former touts Mike and Ken Levy. They sold the place to VIP management in or around December of 2002.

Romurs around here state that VIP cuts people off after winning. I know of many people who one more than 100k from them without being cut off. They do move the line alot after certain limits are bet by a player. Ofcourse they had reason to believe that these guy were not very sharp because they were using touts at the time that they were winning.

Also remember Jeremy Roenick liked them.

ace,that cant be a vip family book you are talking about.they are the slowest line movers in the biz imo.but if you take advantage of them for being slow they will chase you asap.

Mike- I am saying that when you want to bet alot on a game, they move the line. Say if you want to bet 60 k on a college Hoop game. The let you bet 20k at one number and then they add a half point for every additional 10k.
