E-mails should go to WSEX, Bookmaker, Greek, Bodog, and Intrade.

We should ask for odds to win and odds to get eliminated each week. Props like last longers would be icing on the cake.

WSEX has it each year almost solely due to e-mails from those on this site. Intrade (formerly TradeSports) has carried it the past couple years, but has said they may not carry it this year. The other books have offered lines in the past, but are dependent on interest.

High volume of e-mails from many people is very important for the availability/existence of lines. Post-Pinny, almost all books have cut entertainment lines except where there is regular interest and requests for odds (Bodog being one notable exception with their steady supply of $50 wagers).

I'm sure the books will be very interested in offering these props, after receiving a ton of e-mails asking for them within a very short time period AND 2 months before the show airs.

How could they not think that a bunch of AI sharps are looking to tear them apart, especially considering that these props are farily small markets?

If you're going to send e-mails asking for these lines, you should be smart about it. No need to send the e-mail today. No need to appear too eager about them.

Best way is to e-mail as if you are a possible new (and square) customer. Ask them if they offer AI lines, but also ask if they offer line on other "odd" "fin" things like: 1) will OJ be found guilty; 2) Will Britney Spears go to rehab - again; 3)presidential election; etc etc.

Oh it wouldn't hurt to ask about NBA and NCAA teasers too.

Point is, if you're going to send an e-mails to books be sure to look like a square. Of course, the exchanges care less about shapr action then the books, and, in fact they'd welcome it as sharps will make markets for them

. Keep in mind the WSEX is really a book that can act/look like an exchange - they don't want sharps.
