how do you put in your plays? Do you call him and tell him what you want and then he tells you the lines??

That would be such bush league, the lines would always be jacked up a few points if that's how the bookie worked, sorry to hear you got screwed by the man.

Yeah, I saw a 138 shortly before the game so I stayed away after a 3pt move.

exactly..without even knowing the situation its your fault..you should agree to the line before you put the bet in no matter the circumstances...

edit: unless he changed the number after he gave it to you otherwise it's fair game.

I got 138 right before tip off

I called my local right before tip off and I got 138. Not rubbing it in by any means, bad karma, just repying to your question. I think 135 at 5pm and 138 at tip off was legit.

Yeah he gets his lines from a buddy at 5pm....so the late spike didnt happen for another 45-60 minutes...

Yes I call my local and give him the bet....And yes to the guy who who asked if I still agreed to it...Yeah I call him he gives me the line I put my game in...I still did it at 138 cause I thought NIU would score just a little bit over the 49 points they put up! But I'm a little pissed that it hit between the real line and the line he gave me...I thought it was fishy when he gave it to me but I only had 3 games and didnt want to wipe one off.

He gets his lines from TheGreek. and I never saw it all day that high....and to the guy who thinks the lines are always jacked up..They aren't... hes a really good guy and normally is spot on with lines. He may have wrote it down wrong. As the games on either side of my game were closer to 138 totals.. Either way..It definitely sucked cause the 3 I liked were 3-0 but I'm over it today...and have some good games today

Locals can do what they want when they want and if their customers don't have offshore accounts they can't do a damn thing about except suck it up it if they want action

Supply/demand 101

P.S. Get yourself a second out
