Need Input On a Book Doing This...

To offer its post-up players a dimeline up to -140...

While giving its credit players a dimeline up to -190...?

I do not think this is fair at all...

Just wanted to know what the rest of you guys thought.

Thanks.

I'd reverse it and entice the punter to pay me first. I see no reason to give a better line on credit, but I ain't a bookie.

Doug...

I have been playing baseball at this shop for many years...

Seeing as I play more dogs than favs...

I felt shitty when I found out that I had been getting a crap dimeline compared to what they offer their credit players.

What does it matter where the line breaks on a side ? Pick your side ( Mets ?) shop the price, Pinny has the price bet it there, Matchbook has the price bet it there. I don't give a FUCK how they break it.

I have a few places for baseball...and I look for the best price...but thanks for the advice...

But over the course of a season when I am getting +165 and some credit player is getting +180 for the same line...it makes a FNG difference to me...

Just found it funny that they would offer a credit player better lines. Guess its good for business...that must be the reason for it...

Thanks for your input.

dumb question, but how does one become a credit player? Which shops offer credit?

Presto...

I believe the player needs to have an agent near them with whom they settle the account each week...

How does one become a credit player? Well I know the book I am talking about helped a post-up customer that had been cut off by western union...they switched him from post-up to credit.

Thanks TonyMar. One more dumb question, if I may. Why would Western Union cut someone off? I only used Western Union one time, so I am not sure how all that works. :toast:

About Western Union...I am not totally sure what the magic number is...but at some point... when a person sends/receives amounts that reach it...things start to happen...and I believe they start putting a hold on the transfers...and then come the ?'s...and at some point they block the person from sending/receiving altogether.

Are you kidding me Tony? Damn! I send/receive WU's all the time, but I'm in Brazil and have been primarily for the last 6+ years. Thank god it wasn't like that before I moved here as I sent and received WU's every week, sometimes several times a week. Unreal WU.

Another thing WU screws its customers on is the exchange rate. At times I send/receive a WU from/to england or spain, they kill you on the exchange rate, then hit you with the sending fee. Really starting to get my fill of these people.
