Hello

Does that mean they accuse you to bet on lines which are too good before they have the possibility to adapt the odds on the market?
And yes, they have the right to close any account (as long as they pay out the money) but I really wonder what happened to TheGreek as some time ago it seemed they had no problem to handle winners but nowadays this has completely changed...

[Arilou]

Greek sent me an e-mail once that said "if you continue to bet move games on the internet your internet account will be closed." When I called in to confirm that he meant steam, Wally acted like I was being a no-good punk. So... I stopped doing it. And things have been fine. But their policy is: If you want a moving line, you need to call in so a human can look at Pinnacle and tell you the line already moved.

[Svetlana]

Yes

[Svetlana]

It seems to me, that they should not close the account of clients, and should raise requirements to the workers who watch changes of lines!

They have every right to close your account. End of story.

If I were a bookie, I would close the accounts of every single non-US player that bet more than $100 on US sports.

And I would certainly exclude any eastern european customers, because they are bonus hunters/scalpers every single one of them. Not that there is anything wrong with hunting bonuses and scalping, but as a bookie, I would not welcome that action.

Why ? Are you not able to beat them? Or do you feel its easier to deal with squares. A good book will eventually beat even the whores out there.

[Lucas]

Svetlana if you ask greeks they will reopen the account, just do not bet moves.

Slash, you are wrong about EE customers. Definitelly NOT single one here is scalper/bonus hunter.

[slash]

I can beat every book as a player.

I wouldn't be able to beat every player as a book.

Ok, then only 99.9% when it comes to US sports...

[Lucas]

no way slash, really... here are squares like everywhere in the world, tons of squares, many of them are confused of bonuses and rollovers and definitelly not able to scalp something so fast as US sports...

[Svetlana]

Bonuses – me do not excite!!! 250USD-max bonus is simply ridiculous sum!!!

Moving lines are much more interesting, is especial a gate between these lines
(for example Cleveland-5,5 New Jersey Nets +6,5 I put 1100 on Cleveland-5,5 and 1100 on New Jersey Nets +6,5
account 106-100 is won at once with 2 rates = +2000USD)

And that's exactly what books don't like: getting middled.

[cwsulzba]

Most books suck, but I do respect some of them.

[Wheell]

A lot of books will take action against steam players. This isn't news.

A 1-point middle with -110 on both sides of an NBA spread is not a profitable wager.

[Dark Horse]

I'm surprised that the Greek has a problem with steam bettors. Especially considering that they often have an opinionated line (Spirolean). We know the Spirolean is making them money, but they don't like it the other way?

I like the Greek, and they're reliable, but they do seem to have a cheap side. Unless that horrible 90's webpage is the exception.

The main page looks great, but once logged in it does look terrible, the fonts are in desperate need of change.

[DrSlamm]

simple economics dictate that a book doesnt want steam action

That all changes when your name is Harry Findlay, you have over US$1m on one team, line moves, then you (decide to) change your mind, put US$1m on the other side and it lands in the middle! Oh, what a laughter was that! Can anyone lend this Spiro some money?

[JoshW]

Greek also lets you lock in bets online for 60 seconds (I can't think of another book that offers this). If you use this to bet steam, you will get kicked out eventually. I think that is pretty fair.

Why do I hear a lot of complain about the Greek lately. A couple of years ago this book is in the top of everybody's list. Before, If you have a dispute you just call them and in 5 minutes it would have been resolved.

[Arilou]

Greek is a fine book, they're just not trying to be in the internet steam chasing / move game business. That is not where they are looking to make their money or generate their volume. As long as you accept that, I have yet to have an issue with them.
