-104 on Baseball? Would this translate to an 8 cent line?

[Matt Keats - Direcbet.com]

Dragon,

For the MLB Regular season we will have a 8cent line available on the net.

8 cent line until -140
10 cent line until -190
16 cent line until -220
20 cent line until -290

Plus some new products to be launched during the season.

I hope that information was what you wanted.

I opened an introductory $25 account this morning - took about two minutes. What a great marketing approach to allow one to try out a new sportsbook. I really don't care about the $25 - I just want to see if I am comfortable with the site layout, the lines etc. If I am they will definitely get part of my bankroll. GREAT IDEA !
One question - will you be offering runlines during the MLB regular season ?

[sportshobby]

gak, I completely agree. And the site seems really easy to use and quick. There is even a somewhat familiar look and feel. I like being able to place more than one wager at a time, even with different amounts.

I hope the session timeout isn't short.

[theRick]

matt, any limits or conidtions on bonus?

[Matt Keats - Direcbet.com]

Thank You everyone for your positive feedback,


gak555,

We will have runlines up once the start of the regular MLB season starts.

theRick,

I really liked the fact that the website forced me to read and accept the bonus conditions, prior to receiving it. So many times the players are not well informed - there should be no excuse in this case.

[spang]

I agree, nice layout and speed. If low juice bases is part of the program, I'll go with them.

They seem solid. There was a small grading problem with a horse I bet today. I emailed them and they corrected it within an hour.
