Would you guys agree/disagree on the following observation: the opening prices on these leagues all over the world are very much influenced by the prices released early by some Scandinavian books (e.g. Nordicbet, Veikkaus).

Honestly I never looked at these Scandinavian books simply assuming that they are the typical high vig and low limit books, but I may be completely wrong on that. In fact I will have a look straight after this.

In general it goes without saying that the only serious market these days is the Asian one. The real high class gamblers that I know simply do not pay any attention to what even English books put up and in return Indosoccer has assured me that they also do not care at all what English books may have put up already. Personally I do not think that this is really that smart of them. This way they simply give money away to all the middlers, scalpers, etc. Guys they do not like. In return English books are not that stupid to get on with the Asian market. They blindly follow them.

what you say is ryght acw

The only and great market is in this moment the asian mercat

Some book like scandinavian book as unibe or oddsalive od scandic or nordic could have more news on scandinavian soccer but at the end are only book that work in asian that do yhe prices.
but not only in scandinavian soccer on all soccer....

I guess it's clear for everyone that on the big leagues the asians are the kings; willhill, ladbrokes, etc just follow them. However I would love to see one convincing proof that asian books are the originators on Scandinavian leagues.

matahari,

You are making it far too complicated!
Believe it or not but I bet that some of these Asian books will put up prices simply depending on their mood, as much as I simply only bet when I am in the mood!

Yesterday I was in a good mood, but there was nothing to bet on. Just no football. Does not happen too often.

Fine with me then. The reason I started the thread it's because the lines on these leagues do tend to move into where the fair odds lay, meaning that these leagues are probably less than popular with asian squares if sharp money can overwheight them. So for instance why a book of Macauslot's calibre spread their asscheeks wide ? Do they hope these leagues will become more popular ?

Now you got me totally confused.
Initially you claim that lines originate from Scandinavia(n books) itself. Are those the fair odds? Now you say the lines move into a fair position. Do the Scandinavian books put up unfair odds to begin with too?
Or do you have no clue (like me) at all and you are just wondering?
Anyhow after the Euro finals I will have closer look at these Mickey Mouse leagues.

Yes, that is what I'm seeing. A book with low limits and trebles minimum can afford this with minimal damage. Why would an asian book replicate them is what puzzles me.

Ok, so you are simply of the opinion that Asian books copy the lines (which you consider weak) of Scandinavian books.

I am willing to believe that you are right that they may copy them, but then still I will never look at those Scandinavian sh*t books, so the only thing that counts is what the Asians put up, however what if we ask one of those Scandinavian books to put up some completely off prices to just see what the Asians do?
Remember what once happened to all the Caribbean books, when The Greek put up a bad line:
