I'm talking straight stuff, not props and weird stuff like German hockey.

I think books should get it graded within 5 minutes, most times.

However grading fast doesn't mean the book is good, Lazerwager graded almost instantly.

I say 5 minutes of going final is realistic ?

I think it depends on the situation.

If it's a 1pm NFL game, and it ends at 4:08pm, they better grade that sucker FAST.

On a normal CBB game at a random time, 15 mins is ok, over 30 and people get a bit upset.

Ive don't think I've ever had a book that took 5 minutes to grade wagers.

I have. 5Dimes can sometimes lag a bit, I've called them to request a grade before, but usually on odd stuff. Handwritten tickets can take hours, but that's OK. Matchbook can be very slow, esp. on late games.

Speed of grading is not indicative of the quality of a book. SHIT books almost always grade fast, some good books lag, a bit. It means little overall.

Sometimes, not very often, some games can take over 2 minutes to grade once the grade button is hit...

It benefits the book more than anyone to grade them fast. Get that money back out there in action.

yep, that's why I'd grade futures as soon as they win, maybe even before they win.

An H1 bet should be graded in time to bet H2 with that money.

Only reason they don't grade futures right away is that there is a minimum games the teams have to play before being official....
