Re: How does a book determine if you\'re a sharp?
Ok, just since this thread has fogged the view, can I get a clarification on whether Pinny double-deals lines? I always thought they didn't.

Pinnacle has never dealt double lines to my knowledge.
They have served different limits. -P |

Bodog (and most other sites) deal sharp lines by account, regardless of IP. Your behavior there gets flagged as sharp ( primarily betting primarily the underdogs which are shaded towards ) and that account is flagged as sharp. [/ QUOTE ] I bet on Bodog almost exclusively for this reason.(and their props obv) So what sort of betting amounts are we talking about here to get flagged as a sharp? $50/game 2-3 times a week? $100/game 8-10 times/week? Way more than I'll ever have to worry about? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Re: How does a book determine if you\'re a sharp?
Bodog's sharp lines are usually shaded towards the underdogs, just not so much.
If you exclusively bet underdogs at Bodog, even at $10 a bet, I imagine you'll be on the sharp lines after a couple weeks. Check from two different browsers as suggested above (one logged in, one which has never logged in / has cookies cleared) and I wouldn't be surprised to see if you're already getting the sharp lines. -P |

The square lines aren't that much different and not on any bettors top 25 list of things they care about. People make such a production over this and it's a complete waste. [/ QUOTE ] |

it's no problem to have a db automatically generate reports containing any information needed. who is winning would be one such.

I really know nothing about this, I originally thought a book would only adjust someone's lines if they were a big winner, betting a large amount per game etc, but a friend of mine has different lines than I do, and he bets very small, so do they just change them whenever you go a winning streak? [/ QUOTE ] Most of the books just contact Thremp and ask if the bettor in question is a "sharp" or a "square". |

Re: How does a book determine if you\'re a sharp?
Do you guys know if Greek does this? I only have an account with them, and bet 300-500 a game on selected games--usually 8 games or so a week. I had absolutely no idea that books would mess with lines per player so all of this is rather disturbing.
Someone mentioned steam chasing. I steam-chased once(bad I know) but did end up winning the bet. Are you saying steam-chasing causes them to mess with your future lines? Thanks for the cookie clear heads up Performify, I've been running really hot betting dogs(1u=$300) so I bet I'm already flagged. |
