Cant List Pitchers?

[sportshobby]

I'm amazed that there seems to be no way to specify both starting pitchers for a baseball wager, using one of the most widely used software packages. This software seems to be basically the same at CRIS, ABC, Premiere, Superbook, and a few others.

How can it be that the software doesn't allow such a basic feature? Have I overlooked something?

That software can be programmed to ALWAYS list pitchers or ALWAYS action. The player just had to tell the book his preference. That's how Post Time had it setup before the takeover.

I think you're right, and I remember doing that at Post-Time a while back. Does anyone know if the other sportsbooks using that software allow this option?

Pretty sure it's the same at all books with that software......

The funny part of this is that the Sports Books NEVER repeat NEVER take a baseball bet where they DON'T list BOTH pitchers. Every single bet the Books take is based on the real STARTING pitchers.

What kind of an advantage do the Books have with this. THEY can now make the new price on any pitching change suit THEM!

For any book to NOT give the option of BOTH LISTED pitchers is downright comical.

What Super Bookie came up with this new inovative feature to cater to their players online?

Programmers just don't leave this option out. This option is on every program in use today...................

100% of them................

bets placed online with CRIS and ABC Islands on baseball are ALWAYS listed pitchers (both pitchers). If you want action Team vs. pitcher or Pitcher vs. team you need to call it in.

Thanks for the feedback, all. Perhaps it will be as easy as requesting this option (always listed).

Peter, thanks, I am already a happy GCS customer.

Mike, thanks for the clarification.

At Olympic with our software you can not only specify listed pitchers or action with an online bet, you can specify ONE of the 2 listed pitchers (either one). Of course we take the same options over the phone too.
