How long has Betonline been putting openers up before CRIS?

Illini · Feb 21, 2014

I just found out last week. Normally don't check Betonline.

Started this past football season.

I first noticed it in Arena Football this past season. Everyone else was waiting until an hour before gametime to put up lines but BetOnline had them bright and early on gameday if not before.

Its been like that for atleast a year now i know they have totals on cbb earlier and have openers before any book for atleast 2 years i have always been skeptical of them but bas always backs them

1:30 Eastern, not a single major Book has a Total posted for the Arkansas-Miss St game at 5pm. Also the case with many other day games. Offshore Books generally all SUCK nowadays. Pussies wait for 5D to post a line and then copy it. Or post no line at all. What is there to be afraid of? Put a number up, take a Nickel and move it. They have it so rough I guess.

A nickel, are you kidding. These guys (no book in particular) shit bricks over a few bucks.

seems like a pretty decent max bet as long as you can bet the new line as well...pretty standard if so

For whatever reason they didn't put a total on that game. But Betonline will have the most game totalsDon't think anyone had a total on that game.

ScottL · Feb 22, 2014

Mike my guess 5D will post it at 3pm. Several others will copy it, along with any move they make. Most will never even use it. Sad. Same deal with #583-84. 4pm Major Conference Kansas St at Oklahoma = No O/U posted! No slight intended toward any Book in particular. Just lamenting the current state of our industry.

Imagine the stock market opening Monday at 9:30 with just the Dow 30 and no other stock prices.

Agree with you Scott ... In most cases, they believe the total is easier to beat. They don't want the action.
I think it's stupid not to have a total on the games that you posted. Not like we are talking about north west south east college here. Lol

Yeah that MYTH also nets them an extra 10 cents juice throughout MLB Season.

Mike did you find out anything about that tech issue? To refresh your memory threads already read no longer always turn to the lighter shade of red.

3:39pm the total went up

ScottL · Feb 22, 2014

Mike I just restarted and that issue is not resolved. Threads that I've read and even those I made the last post in are still in the DARKER shade of Red.

***RESOLVED, by logging out and logging back in. Thanks Mike and Tech Wunderkinds!

ScottL · Feb 22, 2014

Oops sorry, tech issue NOT corrected. New posts are still coming up DARK Red after I read them and refresh forum. Unless I log out and log back in after reading every thread

Back in my dinosaur days....if we didn't have a total up on a game and you wanted one(if you were crying) I would give you a total with the stipulation that you must make a play....most players passed....

I like your style Dino. Were you "dealing to faces?" Guys trying to catch you napping?
I used to have a local guy (RIP) who would put 8 Books on his screen. Would take up to a nickel on any number I saw if it existed in at least 2 of those places. And that was in addition to his own line.

I know a few years ago when the first Kenpom stats came out there were quite a few players cleaning up on totals. However over the past couple of years it seems the books have caught on and are posting sharper numbers. I don't see anyone beating up on BOL or 5dimes this year. Not really sure why BM is so scared of college totals.
