    Default How much do you feel comfortable having in the Greek?

    Won a sizable amount and want to keep it in for baseball season. How much would you feel comfortable keeping in that book?

    Don't they have the really bad baseball lines?

    From what I heard they are one of the most reliable books for large amounts.

    I would never leave more than 10k in a book.

    The greek is the safest book there is IMO. So if you feel the need to leave more I wouldn't sweat it.

    If you keep over 10k, make sure you file a FABR report

    It's about as secure as it gets.
    That being said no sense in keeping any more money in there than you absolutely have to. Much better off sticking the funds somewhere were you will at least be earning interest or getting some kind of yeild.

    I've had five figures there quite a few times - always felt safe and got paid fast, as well.

    probably as safe as any available to US players

    they used to be a waste of time for baseball but that's all changed for the new season with dime lines

    They also appear to have the sharpest lines these days too. My #1 book and if they offered asian lines for Soccer there would be no reason to use any other book.

    I have had over 100k there. Move money if you need it somewhere else. I don't think you need to worry about your money being at risk there.

    At various times over the last few years I've kept sizeable amounts there for months on end. Your funds are safe there, or as safe as possible in this industry.....

    I'd be happy with 1/3-1/2 of my roll there, which I think is the only way to answer this. That said I likely wouldn't have that much there on a utility basis.

    my entire roll, if there was one book I would trust offshore, its greek/betjm.

    Sharp management, good c/s and if anyone will find a way to get you your funds, it is them.

    Short list of A+ books to me is Greek/Heritage - everyone else i manage the amount I allow to build in my account

    I love the greek its for sure better than any other book prolly even better than having multiple bib books
