    I was very surprised when I read this segment on baseball going to a wide line. I'd be very surprised at this ever happening. As long as there is one book on the Don Best feed (skybook) that stays with the dime line I just don't see the rest of the shops doing this. When it gets down to it these shops will not want to for go the business that they will be losing. Just think if there was one book on the screen that took basketball and football wagers at -105, they would get most of the action. It wouldn't be any different in baseball. Sports betting will always be about getting value, and that will never change. These shops that claim they are getting beat in baseball just need to sharpen their lines so that the wiseguys don't feast on them so easily.

      I do know you and I know M & A also. I'm not trying to be Polar and bash you. I post in this forum to express my opinions period. If you express yours dont include call me at 1-800-skybook. There I gave you another plug.

        Boomer, I agree, the forum is certainly the bettor for having Lance post here.

        Lance, I defend both approaches for sportsbooks. I admire your guts. But I also know that I post here anonymously because I don't want any negative consequences as a player.

        When a person posts here anonymously, he/she has to establish credibility through what is posted. I think it would be pretty hard to fool everyone for very long.

        For example, I have no idea who is "Boomer", yet I can tell you that I place a high regard on what he says from a player's viewpoint.

        Again, your approach is to be commended, and your inputs are valuable to the forum.

          Lance,
          I am really sorry you don't agree with how I post here, but please don't stop your posting. Skybook has always been a leader in our industry, and it wasn't to long ago I was helping to defend Sky from Polar in this very forum. Your responses are always direct and you don't skirt issues. If you would like me to, I will call you and try to explain my position in more clarity.

            You most definitly are a novice in this thread and its scary that you continue to make posts with absolutely no knowledge of what your talking about.
            Wow you know mine and my 2 partners names. Your practically family. Like that isnt public information. You know nothing about me
            or my partners. Your posts tell me that very clearly. Your comments are so silly. If it wasnt for people advertising their books here there wouldnt be a site.
            Any person that I ever asked to call me did and we had long conversations. Lastly I am still the only one to come around and say I will use the 10 cent line even if others switch to a 20 cent line.
            One more thing our number is not 800 skybook as you said in your plug its
            888 SKYBOOK
            888 SKYBOOK 888 SKYBOOK

            888 SKYBOOK
            888 SKYBOOK 888 SKYBOOK
            888 SKYBOOK 888 SKYBOOK
            888 SKYBOOK
            Make sure to write it down because when you get more educated about betting baseball you will definitly want an account with us.
            I still cant believe you said didnt we lose a ton in baseball and throw people out. There is an educated post. After I will not stop saying we will only use a 10 cent line to benefit the bettors.

              I have no interest in you calling me. We have
              learned never to take anything you say serious as a bookmaker. I cant say it any better then MAD DOG but ill try. IF you want to post here as a bookmaker be a man , step up , be proud of whatever book you answer the phones for and tell us which this is. If not dont post as a bookmaker post unknown as all the bettors do.
              If you worked at any book I would have respect for anyway you would have been damn proud to say which one it is. Wow the book you work for is on the cream of the crop list. So are 50 others and thats the problem in itself. Skybook does not need you to defend us either we can handle ourselves. We are men. I say who i am and what i think . i dont hide behind a false name like yours making claims to be a bookmaker.
              Finally I asked you a simple question after seeing various posts by you. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU WITH. If you didnt want to respond you didnt have to. If you wanted to remain unknown you could have told me simply that. Instead yoy choose to respond with an unfounded cheap shot and then remain in hiding. Do yourself a favor dont call me

                Lance,
                Can you tell me what amounts you will be taking this baseball season ? (sides and totals)

                If any of my books that had 10 cent lines go to 20 cent I will be pulling my $ out and sending it to 10 cent shops.

                  The minimum bet we take by phone is $25.
                  As far as a maximum. I am really flexible. I limit the syndicates to 7 dimes a side and 3 dimes a total most of the time. Otherwise if its not them I let the players play really high.
                  Hope that helped
                  Take care Lance

                    Im curious as to don bests thoughts on this subject.Do they want a 20 cent line? Why would they care? Since they frequent this forum,it would be nice to hear from a respected voice.If books decide to go to a wide line,they can open up at 11:00 stick out a 5.5-6.5 line,have one or 2 clerks write one way action and never move the line.Im exaggerating but not by much.Whats next, the american puck line only?Either book bases like skybook and sports market or close after the NBA ends and open up for football.Anybody who bets into the wide line has no chance,not 1%,zero.I dont care if you handicap(zero chance) or play offscreen numbers and let the number dictate your decision (minimal chance at best)..either way 20 cent lines are not to be tolerated.
