Why do books always clone Oly?

lander · May 29, 2003

I'm not naming names, but what are the odds of 2 books having the exact same NASCAR matchups & the exact same prices????

I never understood this. What is the incentitive for players to come try them out?

A lot of shops take oly lines on props, they don't have the time or the research facilities to put out the props, hence its smart to take from someone who does.

Yeah but the Same exact price on every matchup?? Come on man switch it up a little at least a nickel here and there... If you dont wanna get popped then just lower your limits.. and pay attention to your action

Obviously they should only use it as a starting point and change at their discretion according to the action.

DSI copies a lot of olympic's lines. Just like sirbet copies pinnacle line for line. If pinnacle moves a penny they move on air with them. Olympic's nascar is homemade lines and they do not offer the ones on don best so if you see someone using the same lines it is definitely a copy job and shows they respect olympic's lines more then the ones on don best that move 50 cents on one way action every weekend.

It is rather obvious, LANDER is a 20-cent, wide-straddle, price-gouging OLYMPIC SPORTS SUCKER-SHOP SHILL.

Spive, are you an idiot?

I hardly EVER play there. Approx 1% of my plays are at Oly. I think they are VERY VERY overrated ... but I think stealing their lines is pretty sad too.

If you have a thought (for once) run it past me and I'll unconfirm it for you next time.

I call it as I see it ...
ask anyone with reputation around here.

their casino blows

No, NO, they are awesome, how bout -115 on a coin toss! You think they might be over-rated?

But who am I to judge, math is insignificant when you gamble! Oh boy!

It makes sense if they are one of the first ones to put lines up on certain sports that others are going to copy there odds. If you know they are making $$ with those numbers, it sure seems like a good place to start...
