sorry to change the subject here, but any bms out there that have ever moved to fade the dummies. In theory and correlation, it should work, though I suspect that most super-dummies dont have enough bankroll to prove how dumb they are. Just wondering, anyone, even small shops or locals... ever reverse move to fade your super dummy that cannot win to save his life?
...reason I ask is just because Im wondering. Not sure if they still do, but SOS used to return 15% on losses a couple times per year. Some wiseguys that may have been movers may have used a shop like this to to hedge (because they might also have been scalping). I dont know if this would have been worth while to put in their dummy sides at SOS, but just wondering if this type of environment might be one for dummy fades by the bm.
Books that toss you are stupid and short sighted.
What it tells me is that they either have a small bankroll or don't know how to hang and move numbers properly.
There is a book I got up over 50 dimes with and they never tossed me or touched my limits.
Good thing for them that they didn't. I acutally gave it all back and more, but have since gotten up with them about 10 dimes overall.

The General,
Not at all. If you were a bookie and took $2500 wagers and you had a balls on consistent winner in MLB totals why would you boot him? Eat the $2500 and bet 10x that at other shops. Granted I am no SUPER DUPER INSIDER like some cats on these board, but I know for a fact this happens.

oilman - This is second hand, but I trust the source. Player was the kind that would keep a 6 figure balance. He was kicked out abruptly and told he was too tough for them to keep taking his action. (Don't know the sport but it was August/Sept of last year. Think it was preseason NFL, but don't know for sure). Haven't heard of anyone kicked out since.
General:
The first guys to play are allowed to play into weak lines for certain limits.
Projected lines can move as much as 6 to 8 points, and after bets are taken, the first lines go up on Don Best for the rest of the world to see.
These select bettors are the "originators" and allowed to bet lower limits to get the lines sharper.

I talked to someone yesterday that claimed he got booted from Pinnacle, no doubt in my mind he was telling the truth. I wouldn't say they are known to boot winners but it is not an extremely rare thing either. Normally they start with cutting you to a nickel which all but ends it for some. Anyway I think Joey's list is pretty consistant with what I see and hear.
Thanks for the clarification laker.
Pinny boots people, but not many-and if you can beat them, let me fukking know how.
...reduced juice my dick-they sucker me in every time & reduced juice doesn't mean SHIT when you do nothing but lose there.
(I still love them for smacking me around....I'll be riding their "opinions" this foots season).
