a question for the guys that follow the DB SCREEN

[OLD MAN]

If you were booking, and you could only
watch 6 shops instead of all of them,
which 6 would it be?......thanks

[sportshobby]

That's easy - the ones that deal dime lines. In baseball, anyway.

For baseball: Belize, Caribi, Looselines, Skybook, Sports Market, and WWTS.

If I were booking which I dont,I'd respect Caribi and Delmar and quote from there.Question for Reno,Do you get a dime line at WWTS?

[reno]

Ajax50, I do.

[bigtimehoops]

Ajax,

I believe only new accounts at WWTS receive the 20 cent line.

Reno,
If you were booking and not scalping would you still have Sports Market on your screen? I know you love that shop and I agree with you 100%, but I don't see their numbers as useful to a BM as they are to a scalper?

Old Man,
I know after the All Star game, there will be a new Costa Rica book called WIT, that deserves your attention. I think their numbers will be sharp. I am friends with these guys and I think you will see them take some stands and be on the right side.

I HEARD ABOUT THEM LAST WEEK.

WHO TAKES A BIGGER HIT ON A SIDE/TOTAL-
LOOSELINES OR SPORTS MARKET?

[reno]

Chillin-the-most, you make a good point. And now that I think it about more, for booking, rather than playing, purposes, Del Mar should be on the list of 6 instead of Loose Lines. And if the Pokers aren't playing, I would also put them ahead of Sports Market.

Old Man, I've bet at least 8 dimes on a side at Sports Market, and Loose Lines has a limit of only 3 dimes, although they have given me 4 on games when they need more. I've bet 3 dimes on totals at Sports Market, and Looselines limit is in the $1500 range, unless they need more buyback.

Looselines is better than Del Mar for playing because they have more line variance from the "norm." Del Mar tends to have more "tweener" numbers.
