A question to Olympic

[alec]

I have just checked your offer on Euro2000 final. I am totally confused.
You have, for example, an option:

"Inzaghi not to be caught offside +450"

I would like to know what will be your source of information, when you make a decision on weather Inzaghi was actually caught offside.

Maybe it is explained somewhere on your site (in this case please accept my apology) I just couldn't find.

I personally seriously doubt that there exists any OFFICIAL source of such information.

Even for much more simple case like total number of corners it is sometimes not clear what information to use. For example after the last World Cup final the official web site of the tournament gave wrong number of corners.

Thank you in advance.

Spiro will NOT answer your question -450

Olympic will have an reliable/official source of information to grade this bet +4500

Alec, they can't even state clearly about how they will grade the NBA stats, and you want them for something like this?

I am still "waiting" on a reply from Olympic on an NBA playoffs play. I bet total Fouls by Reggie Miller over 2.5. He had 2 personals +1 Technical=3 Total fouls. No where did it say a T is not a foul.
I was not looking to take advantage. I asked for a Push\No play. You guessed it--NO REPLY!

[SLAM DUNK]

Wannabe Whale. Have to say, I believe you have no case whatsoever. It is clear as day to me, that fouls committed does not include technical fouls. Did you make the bet thinking that Reggie might get a technical, increasing your chances of winning?

This must be anti-OLYMPIC day or something. This book is as good as books get, in my opinion.

Probably get in trouble here, but Spiro answers question at **************.com
Rich

Olympic is a super-solid book that pays super promptly. Beyond that, they have problems that, in my estimation, prevent them from being a stellar book. Poor phone service--at least when I played with them-- and constant customer complaints indicate that a change in management may be in order.

Reno,

As one of the bettors I look up to in Bettorsworld, what offshore books do you use? After the all star game I'm considering adding/replacing a couple sports books.

RENO,
THE PROBLEM HERE IS SPIRO IS A ONE MAN SHOW.

NOBODY PUTS UP THE VARIETY OF BETTING OPTIONS HE DOES.

IMAGINE CRUNCH TIME BETWEEN 7 AND 8 , TODAY'S GAMES HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED AND SPIRO IS ALREADY POSTING TOMORROWS LINES AND DEALING HALF-TIMES AS HE'S GOING ALONG AND HE'S TALKING TO PLAYERS WITH A $100 BUCKS IN THEIR ACCOUNT BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY HE IS.

A CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT MAY BE IN ORDER?

I THINK NOT...

SOME MANAGEMENT SUPPORT?

DEFINITELY!

P.S.
PABLO SON LOCO IF YOU DON'T HAVE THIS BOOK IN YOUR STABLE YOU ARE REALLY MISSING ONE OF THE TRULY OUTSTANDING BOOKS IN THE OFF-SHORE BUSINESS.

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT JUST LOOK AT THE POSTS FOR OLYMPIC...

Hi Alec,

The site we will use is eorosoccer.com for the soccer props. For the NBA props cbs.sportsline.com and DON BEST they usually have the same results. The Baseball props espn.com. The Hockey props cbs.sportsline.com
or DON BEST they usually have the same results. I really didn't think there would be differences between sites when I started using props, I apologize. Now that I am aware of the situation, I will start putting the source I will use, in the online prop rules.

[AYCE]

Oh well,

I just ate a +350 dog live.

Props to Olympic, although this is a bit late but its still a very good move.

See, sometime a constructive comment can actually get a positive result. Isn't this just what we want to see at here?

[alec]

thegreek,
Thank you for your quick response.

However, I have just visited www.eurosoccer.com. I didn't find any information on this site that would give me an answer to the question weather Inzaghi was caught offside in the match against Netherlands.

I think this is a much broader question. MOST OF THE BOOKS DO NOT HAVE CLEAR RULES.

I, for example, bet England not to qualify to the quarterfinals at Intertops. What would happen if England got thrown out of the tournament because of its fans before the third game? I don't know. Does anybody know? I doubt it.

I think it is a big question which does not get attention it deserves.

PabloSonLoco, If you don't subscribe to the Don Best Premium Feed, which costs $500 per month, start taking advantage of Don Best's Island Express, which is free. Observe the betting lines on the Feed for a few days. Then, sign-up with the books that offer the greatest line variance. Any book on the Don Best Feeds or on the Bettorsworld Cream of the Crop List is apparently solid. I personally play with over 20 offshore books, and I also plan on adding a few more in the next couple of weeks. I could list the books I play with, but that would be redundant because all are on the Bettorsworld Cream of the Crop List and/or the Don Best Screen.

Whale,

Just my two cents worth..

In NBA baskets a technical foul DOES NOT COUNT as a personal foul..

IN NCAA college basketball a technical foul DOES COUNT as a personal foul.

If I booked you bet I count it a loser..

SORRY,
THE DEVIL

[AussieVamp2]

eurofootball.com?

never even heard of them.......

sounds like a nicely rortable bet that one

[The Guesser]

If Reggie Miller has 5 Fouls and a Technical Foul, he's still out there shooting 3's and giving lip to Spike, until he gets his 6th Foul. Therefore, T's dont count as a "Foul", the way I see it.
