I hate it when (for HT lines) books go to something like

State Univ +6 @ -175

instead of

State Univ +4 @ -110 or something similar

Customer service reps that are rude, clueless, and/or difficult to understand.

What I find even worse about SIA than the line move crap is that they make it very difficult for you to track your pending and graded bets. If you look in your pending are and see "Houston +7.5," is that Houston NBA, NCAA BB, NFL, or NCAA FB? "Over 125.5" Which teams are involved there?

Beet,

Your tagline reminded me of some cool Beastie Boys lyrics...

Yeh, that's right, I'm the Egg Man
Driving Around, King of the town
Always got my windows rolled down
You know, I'm the Egg Man

Up on the roof, in my car
Up all night, I'm pulling through signs like Dolomite
The mack, I'm the Egg Man
Taxi Driver, I'm the Egg Man

AGREED. That's why multiple outs are needed.

My whine: Pinnacle's limited parlay options-not allowing the player to parlay CBB totals (1st half or game). I don't think you can even parlay a side and total from the same game at Pinny. This is a minor gripe I have though, I absolutely love Pinn.

Books that put a delay on the acceptance (or not) of your bets....Skybook makes me wait almost 10 seconds and hollywood is not much better.

Well, Pinny is still great but was so much better. They used to allow hand written if bets on up to three team parlays for up to three team parlays. Gee if I win 5 dimes, 1 dime on this too!! loved it. And then they came up with the no parlays of same game and total! Goodbye to the corolated parlay. Also thier phone people can be very rude when its thier fault that they can undertand English. They also stopped puting up moneylines on high pt favorites some time ago. Still the best overall book. I was also part of the Fiasco when they changed banks but at least they cleared it up. For a small book, I do love Bet Jamaica. nothing special just good average 5th book.

Is a 30 minute timeout too much to ask for? All I want is THIRTY FREAKIN MINUTES.

Bad CS is the obvious one, but they are usually overworked, undertrained, and entirely to used to dealing with ranting\raving\irrational ******** trying to screw them over or get an answer something that the CS rep can't provide an answer for.

What bothers me are books that lie about their years in business. You shouldn't get to count your years on the streets of Brooklyn, or the years the office you are subletting space from has been open.

What also bothers me are books that offer bonuses that are not fiscally responsible.

Just as bad are books that make ridiculous offers, have not thought through all of the possibilities and then get upset when players try to exploit these weaknesses.

Good call. Same is true for these locals that open up shop expecting that they have no chance to lose. No clue how to run a shop, and then are baked beyond belief when you clean them out.

When investing time and money in a venture, one should really thing things out.

Got ya, but when I use the refresh button on my browser it kicks me out and makes me relog in at Olympic. Wish it worked that way.

When any book (bowmans) takes down a boxing match at 10pm even though the fight does not start till 11:30.
