I'm looking to setup a new offshore book that lists future lines on games and was recommended thegreek.com which is Olympic Sports. Are there or have there been any problems with this book?

Thanks

Pinnaclesports.com is much better, you can find a better line there 97% of the time, no matter which side you like, no matter what sport you bet.

When I won my genocide straight putt on the Twins two Sunday's ago at Olympic, I had more trouble collecting the Western Union money at my local grocery store than I did requesting the payout.

Took 45 minutes. They didn't know what the hell they were doing, and I was being gawked at by the nerdy bagger and ugly cashier bitch.

I told them to just give me a check but they insisted on cash. They had to go into the "vault" just to pay me off and even then they could only muster $20 bills.

It was such a bad experience it felt like I just robbed 'em.

Good pick as long as you don't bet bases. If you do then look elsewhere because they use 20 cent lines and with that you can almost always get better numbers elsewhere.

My fav sportsbook by far. Some complaints of bad CS, but having dealt with them for years, I have had no problems and as for bases, if you do not like .20 then go elsewhere. I do not think Oly cares one bit. They do what they want, when they want and with an outstanding reputation, that is the way it should be.

Greek is #1 offshore.

With all due respect and no enmity, I don't agree with your assessment, General. I think they are a top book, no doubt, but Pinnacle matches them as far as paying and beats them up on more than just baseball - Oly deals -110 lines on football spreads for the most part, Pinnacle halves that generally. When Pinnacle offers lines in the same sports as Olympic does, you'll usually find a better deal there - not always, just usually.

I recommend Olympic, I just don't think they're the top book, and if Oly doesn't wish to compete in baseball, that's their right - I don't think they could match Pinnacle anyway even if they wanted to.

Np Jazz. I have been disagreed with many times and respect all opinions.

Pinnacle is right there at wire with Oly. It would be a photo finish.

The greek posts virgin numbers.
The greek pays like a bank.

If I want to bet on tread upon ironed out stale numbers, I'd bet somehwere else.

Two types of people in the world, those that think for themselves(typically referred to as handicappers/sharps/originators) and those that allow others to think for them.(typically called chasers/scalpers or others that rely upon the market to tell them what to do) The greek is extremely appealing to those in the former catagory.

SPV: you're absolutely right about that, I should have thought to mention that about Olympic.

greek doesnt have virgin golf or tennis #'s, more like the last to go up. Any boxing # that is put up by Joey, 95% of the time you can find a better price at Pinnacle or 5 dimes. Customer service is horrendous.

Pinnacle barely even covers boxing. They have 3-4 lines at the most. They are about useless for someone like me. 5dimes has better odds sometimes but they are just copying Joey and slightly altering the number. Thegreek is the best boxing book..... BY FAR!! Nobody else would even hardly post numbers if they weren't around. Tennis and golf are pussy sports anyways, who gives a shit about them?

..... Any boxing # that is put up by Joey, 95% of the time you can find a better price at Pinnacle or 5 dimes. Customer service is horrendous. - RailTurd

Rail-Turd , you don't know your dickhole from a donut hole , .......Joey puts up the 1st # ... every one clones him , he puts Olympic in a posistion to take the bets first , by putting up his # 1st , I gurantee Olympic takes more action on Boxing than Pinnacle and 5 dimes COMBINED .... Loyal Fans , Big Decisions , and most Important for me .......1 stop shopping. They put the # up first , and any idiot can tell the other mentioned books clone theGreeks line like bad nightclub act , its pathetic. You would think , someone at these other joints would have the balls to be Original and get their line up first , but No , thats what Joeys for I guess ....

Customer Service is Horrendous , Thats a laugh coming form of all people ... you. Your such a tight ass , George Washington squints from the sun when you open your wallet - Rail turd , stick to the Little League betting , you actually might have an edge on that , you damn pederaass !!!.........But "Customer Service is Horrendous ???" , What is that? , a last ditch effort to degrade theGreek ? ... If that don't sound like a statement from a "Schill" , then I don't what is ? , Whats a matter , did the clerk on do tell you couldn't make "15 dollar parlays anymore , they had to be a minimum of 25$" .... Whats the gig Bird ? , 5times whispered in your ear , or how about Pinnacle ...? , I heard plenty about your Kind , you'd sell your own Mother down the river just to make a wooden nickel. Well my fine feathered friend .... Olypic is Pure GOld .... and you have some balls even attempting to defame them .. I'm curious what your inner motive is ... why not enlighten us ?

Greek has had some great boxing lines recently.. on the dog side... They do have good #s but they are definitely afraid to take action on futures on nascar, and just about any sport because i think they dont want to get beat. I mean even bet365 will sometimes have better TO WIN or TOP 3 nascar #s thatn the greek which is sorta pathetic. But with that said the greek is a great book. Its sorta sad that they only take a 500.00 bet on anything thats not mainstream. I'd like to see them up tennis/nascar/golf to 1000. Some of there golf matchups they do take up to 2000 on which is nice.

An excellent book. One of my three favorites (along with Pinnacle and Canbet). Your money is safe there.

WuShock, Olympic gets my highest recommedation. They are extremely safe to play at and they put up lines before Las Vegas does! Good luck.

They are the market maker. They are so quick with the numbers that if you play your opinion, you must have OLY. as an out.
