Lets say its 5:04pm, the game starts at 5:05pm. You want to place a wager on Detroit o88.5 first half. You checked the lines at Olympic, Cris, Skybook, WSEX, and Bowmans 4 minutes ago and they all had the same line and the same vig. You have less than a minute to place it, which you book would be your last option? Which one is your first option?

Bowmans is my last option, it takes at leats 2.5-3 minutes to login and place a wager. Good book slow software.


My first option is WSEX and olympic is second.

I login to WSEX only one time everyday just like Olympic but it takes only 2 seconds to place it at WSEX, it takes a little longer at Oly

I see books always say they need customers and VOLUME then I dont understand why they log people off evey 5 minutes and make it hard to place wagers especially new books.

Olympic leaves NBA up the latest.


They know a lot of middlers wait until the last minute to buy back and when they get stuck at a book that took the game OTB, the first place they turn to is OLY.

I know not considered a top book by many but for me the 1st option is Wagerstreet if I have less than a minute to get the bet in.I don't think anyone tops their software for speed.

WSEX last. They don't let you bet "off" amounts.

Try betting $688 there....

Great payouts though.

I haven't been there long. I haven't withdrawn. Friday is free withdrawal day, as I recall, like 5 Dimes and Monday. I'm sure they will pay. They do offer a lot of options, but some are -115. Early lines are nice. They have some good points, but don't get a large % of my bets. Another out doesn't hurt.

Blue: That's a very good point ! I'm assuming they give one every Friday free for $2,500. I think that's what they told me. I haven't won there, have had $1 balance for awhile. If you can pull out 10k a month without fees, that will work for most folks. If they charge you 1.2% on transactions that's bad. A neteller should never exceed $15 per, any more and the book is gouging you. Perhaps CRIS isn't for the true whales, but sounds fair enough, if they give up one every Fri.

I like Greek better. CRIS will never get most of my bets. I'll beat their line with low-juice, half-pont, etc. most of the time ( maybe 90%). It is good to know they are rock- solid. I'll use them on occasion.

I opened there because J-man said you could bet between quarters, I think they stopped it. lines aren't special, but some unique options. I'll re-up, but no rush.:icon_conf
 

There's always next year, like in 75, 90-93, 99 &
