I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the "good" books disappear or get bought out. I wouldn't be surprised to find out a lot of them have needed to borrow money from places (that is if those places can afford it as well)
This so called "bookmaking" they have been doing the past few years is finally catching up with them. People are not losing like they used to, in fact more are winning. Has nothing to do with them getting better, it has more to do with the teams that are playing.
A lot of these games should be -14 or so, if they were that yesterday there would have been a couple more dogs that covered. But 9/10 simply isn't enough. But they (the books) are more concerned with teasers I guess, so they don't want to "give" too many points to the dogs (thus letting people tease them UP) so they post mediocre numbers that people will crush.
So books are still "gambling' to some extent, but at this point maybe some of them have to.
When you see them lowering teaser pay oss, lowering limits on a drop of a hat, holding vig odds instead of moving the line, it tells me all I need to know.
I am closing a few accounts this week. Not for fear, but because I am not using them anyways. So I am not going to leave that money in there just to get one or two bets a month out of them. 90% of my action ofshore is at Pinny and a couiple exchanges. But I will also say this, I am not as confident in Pinnacle as I was a couple months ago.
