For all the Olympic Followers.

Why does everybody kiss The Greek's ass about their large selection of superbowl props?

Most of the props have a minimum of a 30 cent line which is an absolute joke. Just like their 30 cent line on team totals, even on the Superbowl. It is hard enough to make money betting into a 20 cent line.

Olympic might be fine for straight bets and might be the first to put up lines but I don't want to hear about the props. Can you say rip-off?

Are they still offering 20 cent lines on baseball?

the rip off is when other books paste and copy there props if you dont like them dont bet them

Kenny I honestly believe ass kissing is not the correct description. Sure a lot of guys give Oly praise for putting up some off the wall prop bets, buts it is mostly because hardly no one else will do the same. How about doing me a favor and editing the thread title to something like For all you Olympic groupies or some such thing. I don't want to edit it, but really feel it is unfair to Oly and the guys that play there to leave it. I would much rather you edit your own post, than have to do it myself.


Thanks wilheim.

Kenny- I agree with you about their 20 cent baseball lines but I learned a long time ago that you can't win a bet if a place doesn't put up something for you to find an edge on. I give Olympic a lot of credit for putting up tons of props and one team totals. Yes, they use a 30 cent line on those but you can still find good plays to make. The more things a book puts up, the better it is for the player.

I play a lot of soccer and Olympic builds too much juice into their soccer prices but I can still find plays I like there at a price I find value in just as you can on a baseball game there even with their 20 cent line. Olympic not only is booking soccer's African Nation's Cup but they have totals on the games as well. As with anything at any book, you just have to decide whether any prop or game is worth playing at the price they're offering.

How about you don't play there Kenny? Go play someplace with reduced vig - someplace safe - like PanAm

Some people will never get it.

Yes, a 20 cent line for pucks as well as bases.

FYI Oly had a better number on Preds, Caps, Isles, Habs, and Sens than Pinny had 'bout 1/2 hour ago. That's 1/2 the card.

Ya', them darn 20 cent books...

GL to all on the other side, and to all a good night.

Kenny,

Part of the promblem is Chris is an unimaginative coward, and the other part of the promblem is Spiro is one of the biggest tightwads around. Oly is basically a sewer, and yes I do have an account there just in case one of there reject employees puts up a klunker line, which is known to happen.

Yep, despite their 20-cent lines for hockey/baseball, you can sometimes find a better line @ Olympic (depending on the team).

I never had a chance to edit the title, Wilheim did it for me. Sure Olympic puts up a ton of props and sure a lot of people copy them.

Heck, one of my outs is Canbet. I like the -107 but look at the their moneylines, they are a ripoff. Their hockey lines are over 20 cents and their props are also 30 cents.

I use Intertops but their tennis lines start at 50 cents. Last night on the womans draw they had the favorite at -6667 and the dog at +600.

You gotta shop around.

Finally, on Olympic, they are great for straight bets and moneylines and do put up a number before anyone. It is just for the degenerates here that bet the other stuff that they are not the best. and yes, you can find a good price occasionally with a 20 cent baseball line.

Minor kudos for the Isles getting to OT.

Major kudos to the Preds, Caps, Habs, n' Sens.

Kenny FWIW I waited for 30 minutes, and to be honest did not want to edit the topic. When there was no response from you I made the edit.

wil.
