Should a sportsbook be considerd 10 STAR....

......if they deal nothing less than a 20 cent line in baseball?

Some books are stronger at different times of the season than others. THEGREEK is certainly 10 star, even though they do not offer 10 cent lines. I will be back with them in September. The same goes for BETCRIS.

No, they should not. One of the stars should be line value. If they are charging double, that star is removed...OF:digit:

TheGreek and Betcris have plenty of value in football during the football season. Just not in baseball.

When rating a book, one has to take EVERYTHING into consideration for the ENTIRE 365 days of the year.

Having stated that, it would be very hard for me PERSONALLY to give a sportsbook a 10 STAR rating that deals nothing less than a 20 cent line in bases, especially when I personally wager on many baseball games during the course of a year.

Now I may give that book a solid 9 or even a 9.5 STAR rating on rare occassions, but no way would they ever receive a 10 STAR rating from me.

I would give them leeway on props, 30 cent line. But when gouging on a major sport, MLB, there is no leeway. When you compare the 8 and 10 centers to a 20 center, you should subtract something, for that loss of value. How many times could you find a better price on both sides? At another store. That is also of duration, 6 months.

I don't see how they could hold a 10 star rating...OF:howdy:
