Thumbs down Recreational Books

RECREATIONAL BOOKS

A recreational book is a book that boots winners. A recreational book is a book that rather than booting winners, disguises thier "booting of winners" by chopping limits to miniscule amounts (less than $100). A recreational book is a book that does not hire bookmaking talent, nor risk managers, but simply deals to one-sided, square action.

yeah it's a good mag....but piss poor if you want to really follow a good solid book. VERY Slow in updating odds...they offer so many events it's like one big cluster **** LOL.
Very recreational, almost a square book in my eyes, i use it if i want a line in my favor....like if BYU is favored by 4 at bodog, pinny, holly, etc, it's prob still 3.5 or 3 at Sportsbook.
