Looking for another good NBA book or two

[sportshobby]

You'd think I spend enough time reading and writing in this forum that I'd not have to ask. But I'm looking to post with another good book or two for the NBA season. My requirements are

(1) NBA lines posted no later than 10:30 a.m. Eastern daily, and

(2) Must be able to bet at least one dime online, on sides or totals.

Nice-to-haves are:
- phone betting option from same account
- on Don Best screen (preferably IX)
- NETeller deposit and withdrawals
- On the Bettorsworld Cream of the Crop List
- Deposit Bonuses
- Not clone lines

I'll entertain suggestions from either books directly or from players seeking referral bonuses. But in the latter case you'd better really believe this book is solid, or else.

Hi Sportshobby:

Olympic fulfills all of your requirements. They are on the Don Best, have lines up the night BEFORE the game, big limits, and are as solid as they come. They also offer a 10% bonus on initial deposit. I would also really appreciate it if you used me as your referal. Send me a message through email at bmboy888@hotmail.com and I will send you my account number for the referal. Thanks man.

Not sure what time Pinnacle post their NBA but they are my favorite NBA out. Sharp lines and 105 juice. The new software is easy to use also.

[Las Palmas]

Sportshobby,

How about trying Las Palmas, we are independent, and compile our own Basketball odds. We also offer a 15% sign-up bonus , 5% re-load bonus and a 10% referral bonus. When you open a telephone account with us you automatically get an online account with as little as $250.00 minimum deposit. All transfer fees will be reimbursed. Our online limit for Basketball is $2.00 minimum and $1,000.00 maximum for sides and total. We offer higher limits over the phone. We open our lines at 11:00 eastern time.

Check out our NBA lines at Don Best Premium and Island Express.

Best of Luck,

Another point about Rio. Free 1/2 point on fridays, a sweet promo for sure!!!

This was fun, like a contest for the books. And we have a couple of winners.

I spoke with JJ today and opened an account at Las Palmas. I am looking forward to giving them a try. They were only about 15 minutes later posting NBA than my request.

BetEurosport actually met all my requirements, so I'm going to re-post with them. I had tried them for a short while and cashed out (before I began looking at NBA).

bmboy88, Mark, and randyrhom - thanks for the inputs. I already play into Olympic and Rio, and agree they are great outs. My interest this time was primarily to pick up a couple of books that might actually have a different number from the screen now and then.

randyrhom, I'll look into Pinnacle online some more.

Rick at AllWorld - I noticed that your lines have just started appearing on the IX screen. I'll take a look further.

I have to lament the (temporary?) loss of a good book that met all my requirements - Premiere. Their lines are going up much too late for me.

Thanks again to all.

Can anyone tell me Pinnacle's time for posting NBA lines, and their online limits (sides and totals)? Their website has a rundown of online limits by sport, but no mention of NBA.

[sportshobby]

What about NBA line posting times and online betting limits for AllWorld and Heritage?

[Pinnacle Sports]

Sportshobby,

I thought i would just answer a couple of your questions, and appologise for our NBA limits not being posted on our web site and make sure that they get up there as soon as possible.

Limits

NBA
Side $1000 Total $500

Lines are available usually after the last game of the night is finished.

Matt - thanks. I've been looking at your website over the past couple of days, and pages are loading extremely slowly. Can I expect things to speed up soon? Actually, (here's the edited part) things just started speeding up today (11/30) and appear fine now.

I've signed up and posted to give you a try. I'm looking forward to the "Lay 105" on NBA sides.

[All World Sports]

Sportshobby,

All World Sports limits over the internet are 1000 on sides and totals. Anything else i can help you with please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks and good luck.

Rick

[sportshobby]

Rick, thanks for the info. I went through the signup process to take a look. When trying to place a wager, the drop-down menu for bet amount goes up to $1000, but the title beside it says "Limit $500". This is probably just an oversight, but should be corrected.

Although AllWorld is not yet on the BW "List", I decided to take the word of Reno and Reality. I did sign up and post today; and although I did not take time to speak with you personally I will try to do so soon. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
