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?

Most of the books just contact Thremp and ask if the bettor in question is a "sharp" or a "square".

Default 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.
