You got an excellent line. I put in back around the time that line came out on my book and I only got 100 to 1.
Interesting. I use a private bookie who I used to just get texted lines from and would text him back my bets. He often honored his lines throughout the day (with some exceptions) which I found really advantageous. Then a couple years ago he offered to have me migrate to a website exactly like you described above, Pop. Its freakin awesome in terms of what is offered. You can bet on everything under the moon and it has a sick live book as well. It's like having a full vegas style sportsbook on my phone. Amazing. But I do miss have the ability to bet on stale lines.
Yeah, you’re using a PPH interface. I’ve been on both sides of the counter, that’s how I know (beyond the statute of limitations now). He has the ability to go in and one-off change lines. We used to do that, if a guy called or texted and asked “what’s the spread on the Florida game?” Or, “can my limit be raised on the UF game?” Guess what we’d do? We’d go in and raise it on the site half a point knowing that’s what side he wanted. Usually they’d ask when they wanted to know if we’d raise the limits for a game.
Bookmaker.eu is extremely legit with a rock solid reputation.
Anyone who bets on a site that makes a parlay lose entirely if a leg pushes is an idiot.
Very interesting. So the people who host the site don't take a rake, they just get like a weekly fee? Are the PPH sites better overall for the bookie than taking bets directly from betters like I used to do with txt messages?
Yeah, the PPH sites just get a weekly fee. PPH sites help bookies because they track everything to help reduce player disputes. Plus the bookies choose what lines they want and set limits on everything (parlays should have lower limits than straight wagers) on the back end. The only drawback is the weekly fee per player, so you don’t want your client base to be low limit bettors and you don’t want them inactive for even a week to make it worthwhile.
Makes sense. I remember an issue one time where an account went inactive and it caused some frustrations. Now I know why. Thanks, Pop, always a pleasure chatting with you about this stuff.
No action just yet for me. I’m only considering Miami plus the points or the Under, I like to bet late to make sure I don’t get down on the opposite of some major steam. I’m thinking I’ll probably do live betting for this game. I like to bet unders right after a score and bet overs right after a drought. Same with buying a side: I’ll wait until a team gives up a score to hop on. If UF should close -7.5 and they go up 7-0 early (God forbid), we should see some Miami +11 live. Buy low, sell high.
Great thinking! I do that a lot with basketball (especially during the tourney). I'll be watching a game and, say, a heavy favorite closed at -10. The underdog comes out red hot and hits 5 of their first 6 shots and the favorite starts off cold and after a few mins the dog is up 12-4. Suddenly you can get a live lineof that same favorite at like -2. That there is a recipe to make some money, IMO. Obviously, only if you've been watching the game closely and you feel that score will even out as the odds of one team remaining hot all game and the other cold are low.
