what are the best US based books (even if operating outside the US) for live in play NBA betting? and i suppose NFL/COLLEGE but primarily NBA betting.

Things have been changing a bit over the last few months.
It's a bit of guess as the landscape seems to be changing fast, but I think I'd go with 1) SBO (Assuming you're not looking to get 1000s on). Make sure you observe one or two matches first because the way they do their handicap varies from sport to sport (For instance on baseball, it's applied from the current score!) 2) 5D or Pinny They never seem to offer much choice to me, and only trade during commercials/timeouts/etc, which should be fine of course. Finally WSEX. If you're thinking of betting big money I cant recommend them though. I'm comfortable keeping small sums of my own money there, but rumours abound that they're going to go busto. |

completely off topic - morrissey, you mentioned on the tennis phorum that you used to work for one of the big books fraud dept, and you guys ALWAYS knew when a tennis match was fixed.
i'm really curious about the alleged vinci vs garbin bogota final in march 2007. many allege it was a fix, though iirc garbin had sever food poisoning and really shouldn't've played, but it was the final. and who would fix a final anyway? if you were working at the time and feel you can say i'd be grateful for any comment you can make. |

i hadnt started in the job at thattime then mate but yes we always know. quick tip (although it does speak for itself) when the books take a tennis match down.. follow the money as soon as you can. for the most part it will win. i know its simple but its true.
and you always know because a tennis trader will suddenly get a new punter wanting 1k+ on some mug match or player to win at about 3/1 :) oh and i know the not so straight snooker players as well.. well i know of three of them. |

lori why do you think the landscape is changing? i know pinny do a lot of their in running stuff for nhl and baseball in between periods/innings but i wasnt sure about NBA.... obv for nba i could do with some book who does it in running like a few euro books do.. and by SBO do you mean sbobet? |

yes, that's who i mean by sbo sorry, have a habit of trying not to name books in their entirity on Betfair's home forum
 By changing landscape I think more of the US facing books are offering bits and pieces so I don't want to claim an exhaustive or even correct list. I've found SBO to be pretty good for in running, their layout helps too as you can see so much information while you ponder what to do (Several markets on several games all easily viewable at once.) |

i like sbo as well lori and recently re opened an account there as it goes..
ill be looking around i think for the next week or so when i have time.. i want some decent in running books.. aussie books are shyte as it goes.. harry i dont actually.. we didnt have any issues with our book when i was in betting fraud mate.. just tennis and snooker. and no john higgins was never suspected by us for any reason and thats the truth. now as for that fat fking cheat..... |

By:
you would never suspect higgins...you would think he would be minted and it wouldnt be worth the risk
Yes a darts player, surname starts with the letter M |

any of you use thegreek.com
heard some real good things about them |

They're okay, although not used for about a year. Not sure if they do in-running though (I suspect not)
Trouble is they have pretty strict cashout rules. You have to have placed a bet once a week for a month leading up to the cashout is one I seem to remember as an example, so check they're all okay before you deposit. Some pretty soft props and they pay and have been around a while though |
