Anybody using this book for baseball? I haven't used these guys in a couple years, I loved the baseball odds and sameday payouts were good except expensive. Any updates?

Terrible book. They showed me the door years ago and not only took several months to pay me after booting me, they added additional fees to my withdrawal.

terrible book,very very high fees for payouts and their customer service people all lie,every last one of them

I didn't even know these guys were still going. Got bought by somebody etc etc They did have one claim to fame (although i never got anyone to admit testing it), they actually had a wager limit page set up showing max limits for "betting steam"!! I kid you not. Justin will remember this. I always thought that was the coolest thing--while everyone else wanted to kick you out for doing it--these guys were saying it was ok if you only bet so much.

Do they actually accept professional action? It seems like they are welcoming it.

Tomato loves how LooseLines is a B+ while ABC/Jazz are B-.

This book has been around since 1995, has higher than normal limits, seemingly welcoming steam, isn't afraid to take an alternative stance on a game, transfers with CRIS, no complaints on SBR, and gets a B-?

thanks for that link Tom. I knew i remembered that. I also love this at the bottom of the page:
*Steam Limits
Players deemed to be part of betting syndicates or bearding will be limited to these limits

Classic cool!! lolol Now we just have to find out if anybody is really playing there and testing any of these limits? Somebody has to be trying? Looks like they now take ewallets (not sure they did in the past)--can they also pay out via this method in a timely manner? good thread

There are much better Books for baseball, but ABC offers many prop lines that are just too good to pass up.

They definitely don't take steam action, or at least didn't when I was still betting there, because I was specifically booted for "betting steam," and my "steam bets" were no more than maybe $200-$400. A lot of the "steam bets" were actually stale MLs that they never bothered moving after they'd already moved the spread.

The post about poor customer service reminded me that in my time using them, at least a year and maybe a couple years, they literally never once responded to an email. If you wanted to get a hold of CS, you had to call or use the live chat feature, often waiting for a while before anyone would bother answering the phone or the live chat.
