What % of post up would you advise a new book to keep on hand for a year's worth of action to avoid ever going under in that yr

hockeyguru (Nov 18, 2003 10:08:18 PM)

Hello Spiros,

Thanks for taking the time with us.

My first question relates to the kind of character that many of the offshore book owners possess. We hear stories all the time about illicit monies being used to fund sportbooks, stories about owners with shady histories (aside from the whole gambling/USA issue), massive monies being spent on other activities- drugs, booze, women (not that there's anything wrong with that- as long as it not post up money- which it seems to be far too often).

What I want to know from you is simple. I want the name of 2-3 books that you know have owners who are solid as can be, who made their money through legal ventures, who are businessmen and not party animals, who run a tight ship and who know how to take care of the bottom line.

In short, I'm saying that from a business plan� perspective I can almost always tell how a book is doing but I know very little about the men behind the books. So, if you could help us out and give us the 2-3 names that you respect in this industr

Dell_Dude (Nov 18, 2003 10:16:49 PM)

Hi Spiro. My question is what is the amount of the biggest single parlay won at Olympic? And how much was bet and how many teams? I want to know the number I have to beat. :-) Also, as a bonus. What is the biggest single parlay won at ANY online sportsbook EVER?

CHATMASTER (Nov 18, 2003 10:16:54 PM)

walk up after dell

cerberus (Nov 18, 2003 10:17:00 PM)

Spiros, I love all the props that you offer. Some books hate it when you bet their props. Do you still make enough money, or at least break even with your prop offerings to never consider not offering them anymore? The props make your book unique, and hopefully they will always be a staple at your sportsbook.

thegreek (Nov 18, 2003 10:18:02 PM)

Dell_Dude: biggest parlay to beat was a 7 teamer that won 2.2M and risked 20K.� I am not sure of other places.

cerberus (Nov 18, 2003 10:18:15 PM)

Walk_of_Life (Nov 18, 2003 10:18:33 PM)

thanks. What truth is there in the rumors that you purposedly post a *wrong number* on the Don Best screen, so you can then bet on that *wrong number* at one of the shops cloning? No pun intended Greek, I just want to learn what the future of the cloning shops will be after this season.

CHATMASTER (Nov 18, 2003 10:18:36 PM)

lurkerforages (Nov 18, 2003 10:18:57 PM)

mine was the same question

thegreek (Nov 18, 2003 10:19:02 PM)

Cerberus - The props are a tough thing to make money at for a book - but it is a part of Olympic and is a way to give back to our customers.

Walk_of_Life (Nov 18, 2003 10:19:05 PM)

thanks for your time Greek

lurkerforages (Nov 18, 2003 10:19:29 PM)

This is a question you may not want to answer but with so many books cloning olympics lines are you tempted to put out weak lines and play back at these shops who copy yourlines? :)

CHATMASTER (Nov 18, 2003 10:19:31 PM)

maybe spiro can put up a line on dell ever having a $20k BR to make that type of play

cerberus (Nov 18, 2003 10:19:50 PM)

Thanks Spiros. Thanks for giving us a chance to win some money back.

Walk_of_Life (Nov 18, 2003 10:19:51 PM)

pokerjoe (Nov 18, 2003 10:22:13 PM)

Wagerstreet Bob, first let me say that I admire some things about your shop. But I disagree with limit cuts.� Sharp bettors are not your enemy.� If I ran a book, I'd have a program which tracked my player's EV, and then figured that into the calculation for balancing my action.� Sharp players could be your goldmine.� But also, I think too many books assume that just because someone's been winning that they're sharp, and not merely a fish on a heater.� However, inasmuch as I'd want to control some player's actions, it would be the steamchasers.� But I wouldn't boot them.� Simply keep smaller limits, but allow re-hits.� I just find booting or cripple-limiting to be in poor form.� If bookies want their players to have some gambler's honor, they should have some themselves.

PANCHO_SANZA (Nov 18, 2003 10:22:35 PM)

my question wasnt answered...

Mr_Negative (Nov 18, 2003 10:22:38 PM)

looking back on the deal with camelot.� are you glad u did it. any advice for other books looking at the blue marlin situation

thegreek (Nov 18, 2003 10:22:40 PM)

Pancho - no it does not bother me, rather it is flattering.� It has become part of this business.

sledge (Nov 18, 2003 10:22:53 PM)

Wagerstreet_Bob (Nov 18, 2003 10:23:34 PM)

ah - makes sense

thegreek (Nov 18, 2003 10:25:39 PM)

Parlay - because for me it is sign they know what they are doing and they have already overcome the critical mass needed to sustain business.

If everyone is done with questions for spiro, why not just let it become a stage for Wagercut Bob to answer questions?

buckeye (Nov 18, 2003 10:26:46 PM)

Spiros, can u fix the parlay calculator not to round to "cheat odds" for the -110 lines in it for large cross sport parlays - on behalf of Dell Dude?

smoothie (Nov 18, 2003 10:27:52 PM)

will there be a transcrip of this chat?

hockeyguru (Nov 18, 2003 10:27:55 PM)

Spiros,

�How many players have you cut limits to at your book? Also, when you limit them, is it across the board or� on selected sports?

kosar (Nov 18, 2003 10:28:43 PM)

smoothie- no shit...I've been distracted with 'the real world' and now 'rich girls'

smoothie (Nov 18, 2003 10:28:54 PM)

chatmaster, will there be a transcript of this chat session?

TTinCO (Nov 18, 2003 10:28:57 PM)

Bob, I never got stiffed by GA either......sometimes I learn from the negative experiences of others without having to deal with it myself.

hockeyguru (Nov 18, 2003 10:29:06 PM)

have you ever had to cut limits of someone who wasn't strictly chasing steam?

CHATMASTER (Nov 18, 2003 10:29:13 PM)

you will have to ask russ� i cant answer that question smoothie

thegreek (Nov 18, 2003 10:29:15 PM)

buckeye - we do follow standard parlay odds, and parlays are calculated at true odds when moneylines are other than -110.

Wagerstreet_Bob (Nov 18, 2003 10:29:29 PM)

ttinco - thats why you're a champ i guess congrats

kosar (Nov 18, 2003 10:29:41 PM)

hey chatmaster, can you save the chat and email it to me? I would really appreciate it ... anyone for that matter

cant save it here sir

buckeye (Nov 18, 2003 10:29:58 PM)

Actually you don't, check it out sometime your s/w rounds the -110 lines for big parlays to be FB odds

smoothie (Nov 18, 2003 10:29:59 PM)

aight sir

Thanks again for the CAM buyout Spiros!

thegreek (Nov 18, 2003 10:31:15 PM)

HG - I will only cut limits on events that I feel lines are weak (props, quarters, etc.)� On the games themselves, indivduals do not get cut - and especially the day of the game limits can be very high.

buckeye (Nov 18, 2003 10:31:22 PM)

bailout I meant. it was appreciated

miaplus3 (Nov 18, 2003 10:31:28 PM)

buckey - it puts whatever it can in a "football bracket odds" then does the non 110 as money multipliers

Walk_of_Life (Nov 18, 2003 10:31:30 PM)
