Good work by Canbet

having early baseball lines up

or early lines in all the yankee stuff up

very handy, will make baseball season easier for me, and get them used more..

Been with them a couple years and I can't say enough about them. They operate a top-flight operation in every way imaginable. Not a great deal of variance from the numbers on the Don Best screen, so if you have a lot of screen outs you may not need them, but if you have only a couple outs these guys are definitely worth adding. No book I've played at has been more professional than these guys.

All that plus the laws of Australia as protection. Enough said.

yeah, but Island sportsbook X won't give me AFL, NRL, Super 12 betting, cricket, reasonable amount of soccer, formula 1, etc., etc.

I like their soccer lines. I wish they had tennis as well.

[AussieVamp2]

they do, sometimes

most bookmakers ignore it, except in Europe where it is on tv more......

Shawn, you're right on target. Canbet has good service, but is a clone in American sports lines.

[AussieVamp2]

Clone is ok, for overnights

seem to be doing their own thing in other stuff though..

haven't looked at their soccer much recently - seems to not be on crastinum

not sure if they are still at the bleeding edge for value?

AV2,

Their half-balls have widened to 30 cents the last couple weeks (as have Megasports) and it's 40 cents for this week's internationals.

It's a little confusing because their over/unders remain at 22 cents. If they moved to 30 on the half-balls because they were getting beat, you'd figure their over/unders would be ridiculous ... after all, it's easier to whack o/u than it is to whack half-balls and Asians.

I have an account with Canbet and have been pretty happy so far. The only thing that bothers me is 50% of the time you get put on hold before a live operator picks up . Do you guys get this also?
Also what is half-balls?

there is no hold on the web

half ball

= +0.5 goals

Shawn,

Thanks - I suspected as much.
