CBB Books

goodcall · Jun 3, 2006

Sorry I have another question, but I guess this is the place.

I'm trying to set up a good arsenal of books to bet on CBB with. I figure I could put about 50% of my BR in Pinny, since half their lines should be at -105 or better. Cascade also looks good at -105, for when Pinny's vig is worse than -105, so about 25% there? And I figured I'd split the rest of the BR between 2 or 3 other reputable books with -110 lines for when lines differ. Any thoughts?

Other questions:
-Do I have to worry about being paid with Cascade (will they be mad if I win a lot)?
-Is Skybook worth putting BR in with their free half-point?

Thanks again.

First, top tier books to consider laying -110. Important to have because often times they are still holding at -110 while Pinnacle will have moved the juice to -111 and higher.

The Greek
CRIS
WSEX

Cascade is pretty solid. You shouldn't have any problem with a payout even if you win. Skybook has a limit on how much you can bet and still get the free half point. Last time I tried, I was limited to $300. So if you are planning to wager more, you may want to ask for their half point limit before making a deposit.

Not many replies here...would this have been a better post for the main forum?

You won't have any problems with Cascade as they are a top tier book. In fact, if you haven't already posted up with them, they are running a special right now. On top of the -105 style pricing they are offering a 10% cash bonus ($500max/5x rollover).

Stick with Pinnacle, Cascade, WSEX, Skybook, BetCris and you will be fine.

Thanks for the advice

I posted up with Cascade two days before this promotion...bad timing on my part

If you're playing sides and not totals, you might want to consider Matchbook and/or Mansion. You can get better prices there by several cents at times with the wide open CBB cards. Totals weren't offered on every game. Hopefully that is something that will change with next season.
