Reporting Bad Lines

[Lucy11]

I forgot to add this. The book with the bad golf tee times also was a shady customer. I was a patron of theirs for 4 years. They posted different lines for me sometimes compared to others. I would have an o/u of 52 while my friend is logged on to the same site and he would have 50 1/2. :com: I guess they noticed a trend that I like betting overs. This happened multiple times. I only bet a couple of hundred dollars a game. I wasn't a big shot. There was a lot of chatter of this happening to some with this book a couple of years ago. So lets talk about an ethical approach to handling a bad line when the book is trying to get the best of you. I'm sure 90% of the books don't pull stunts like this, but when they do why would you want to help them?

Hey, Im just some guy that makes plays on a few games every week, not a professional gambler. If some Bookie puts out a line who am I to question its validity. I would say most of us are playing online as well as a local book. Its hard to beat the online guys when the lines shift but thats what your local is for.

Example last weekend Houston vs Tenn local has Houston getting 10, online the line moved to 8 then 7.5 before kickoff. Somebody knew something so I pound Houston with local and as it turns out even taking it online would have worked.

This weekend is a reverse of the last example Jags are -11 with local and -9 online same thing as above but instead Jags kick ass, I was lucky a friend really liked Jags so he scared me off hitting Tenn instead I pounded the other 2 big line moves on Miami and Houston lucky I guess.

Maybe I don't understand what bad lines are, but the professionals put out the number I just decide what side to take based on the # they post.

Maybe I should call them and say the line on SD was bad, how about giving back my money.:shrug:
