Will books match lines from other books if asked?

[stomie]

If I get a line say "UConn to win the national championship at Olympic @ 18/1" can you call other books and see if they would match it? Has anyone ever done this or tried this? Seems like good business. I know walmart and bestbuy say if you find a lower price they will match it and give you 10% off.

some people might give u hell, but i think that is a great question...
if u continue to see lines you like better elsewhere, you may end up bringing your business elsewhere....

Seems like a book could say "We'll match futures prices from these books..."


Off Topic - I can't believe Pinnacle doesn't have NCAA Basketball futures up yet

That's a great idea, and I think some would actually agree to do it, but many are simply too cheap or too stubborn to oblige.........

i think stubborn.
