I was pretty easily able to match or beat everything you mention with the exception of the Giants 2h total, although I don't know the timing of the Jax +8.5 -110 that we ended up with, so it's possible the line you mention was the best at that particular time. Some of my bets at those lines were tiny but Bodog's limits are never higher than $500, at least for me, so no big difference there. I'll grant that for bettors without a delay on their accounts, Bodog may be a good 2h option, but when you're delayed for a minute or longer, betting 2h lines is extremely difficult. I do remember getting some zoo lines on their 2h lines, particularly when one side is very "obvious" like the under in the late game. For me, it isn't worth dealing with a book who's going to reject the majority of my bets using a garbage delay so they can adjust their lines in exchange for the one time out of ten or less they actually let me bet $500 on ov19 +120. Honestly I'm shocked they were the first book to open the 2h line there, I've literally never seen nor heard of them being the first book to open any line or any market in any event. This is the same book that won't put up Coors or Wrigley totals until 5pm on game day.

All 4 examples involved crunch time. Just rather than saying Bodog has some soft spots even with dual lines, backed it up with some examples.

I suppose it's a semantics difference of whether they have good unique lines, or good lines that are also available elsewhere. As I said, I certainly don't doubt that Bodog has good 2h lines as I remember betting some pretty good 2h lines, but it's very tough to bet 2h lines at a book that has you on a delay and plays games with their lines to boot. For people who don't have a delay, Bodog may have value.

you're right, it should be a tossup

a newbie on 2p2 w/ 3 posts vs. 10+ years of getting players paid (in fact they did not get me paid in the two disputes i opened w/ them but i still respect their work) willing to stand up for the players on a regular basis (maybe someone can remember this better than me, but there was at least few instances when rogue books decided to deal w/ sbr physically since its costa rica lawlessness down there, that didn't stop them from speaking their minds)

SBR will be a reputable site when they pay me the ~$10,000 THEY THEMSELVES STOLE FROM ME.

They are a bunch of scumbags over there, and as more than one book's manager has told me over the phone, they will blackmail books to avoid getting a little star on their foreheads.

Did you talk to Bill?

No, I'm 0/3 in getting a non BS answer from the various idiots that are employed there.

I guess he is next.

I'll give JJ a call

aside from that, which of the weekly rebate wager ladies do you think is more deserving of a modeling career?

SBR is the best we got. And as the norm. Truth is in the middle.

Right now I use Betjamaica and Sportsbook.com because they both run Friday reduced juice on NFL games. I noticed sportsbook.com has awful reviews on sportsbookreview.com so I'm wondering if anyone knows of another online book that offers a similar reduced juice Friday deal.

sportsbetting.com

but sportsbook is fine as long as you don't correlated parlay them

If you're in the US, Matchbook is your best bet.

I had decided on staying with Bodog and also deposting on 5dimes. I just called 5dimes to ask them about bonuses before putting money on there. I either had a bad connection or some kind of voice altering mechanism in use with someone who is not that understandable to me anyway. After I ask, he never mentions bonuses, just keep going on and on about drawbacks like I will be on hold for withdrawals for 30 days, while occasionally asking for my account number. It took me a while to get my account number since the system log me out when I was checking for bonues information, as soon as I give him my account number he hangs up. Is it me, or does this make people never want to deposit?

What is the link to the Matchbook sports betting site? I have googled it and don't see anything for sports betting.

You're about 3 months too late.
