Would you accept some limitations if getting better odds?

If a book offered 1% vig on NFL,NBA,MLB and NHL sides with couple limitations(I don't want to explain those limitations here). 1% vig means -102 odds (-105 odd means 2.44% vig and -110 means 4.76%). This book will never cut your limits and never kick you out and operates only via internet.

Or do you prefer books like Pinnacle which offers -105 lines without any limitations, except cutting limits later if you happen to win too much (OK, doesn't have any influence for most of the bettors).

I am asking this, because I want to know are you interested about this before I go any further with my plans. This is not a betting exchange.

My English is lousy as always, but hopefully you understand.

I will always take 105 juice at pinnacle and IIS.

What would the limitations be?

Funk,

Getting paid comes to mind as being the main limitation.

Nothing like that

If the limitation is that there is a low maximum and only one person at the time may bet, so prices can be adjusted quickly, then I will not play with such a book!

How can you expect a definitive answer without saying what the limitation is? Someone capable of posing a question like that is less likely to run a solid shop than someone incapable of it imo.

agreed

i think ACW has given the only sensible answer here. surely that has to be the limitation faceless refers to.

i would expect any book faceless was connected to be trustworthy.

 

I'll explain a little bit. A traditional book can't go much more lower than -105, risk and expenses are too big. A betting exchanges doesn't work well on American Sports, because there are books, like Pinnacle, which offers a ten cent lines.

Maybe a question should have been:

How low vig is low enough for you before you are ready to accept any limitations to get more lower vig?

Listen, as several people have stated above, without describing the "limitations" that you refer to no one can provide an answer to you. This is a pointless and silly thread, probably should be in the rubber room with the other BS.

 

[Skyweasel]

I have never heard that posted before, where did you hear that?

 

Hanover and others,

You guys really think Betfair would be the biggest betting exchange in the world, if guys who established that company would have told what is their business idea?

 

Skyweasel,

Actually, I meant a reduced juice books, not Pinnacle. Pinnacle just offers lowest vig and it was a good example. My bad.

 

[marc]

Faceless,

Obviously the lower the juice the more attractive it is to the players. The issue of concern is
1) will we get paid. How quickly will we be paid, and what are the withdrawal fees
2) what is the maximum bet allowed
3) could we just place a single straight bet, or does the low vig only apply when you make multiple bets.

I can tell you that betpci seemed to have done pretty well when they offered 0 juice for an upfront fee

 

Thanks to

WEEKENDALKI, acw (for their answers) and marc (for your great reply).
