should be 'are' - forum malfunction

Handicaps again. FFS how hard is it??? 3 handicaps right next to each other for the NBA. What is going on in your heads?
This not only dilutes liquidity, it is completely and utterly pointless.
If you want 3 handicaps spread them out.

Please, please, please get someoone that has some sort of clue to sort these American Sports out. They are a shambles.

Spot on curlywurly   Happy


Nothing essentially wrong with providing 3 handicaps but as curly says spread them out , the criteria should initially be to accommodate punters looking for a particular price range to suit their own style , so provide for example 3 handicaps with a perceived SP of 2.0,1.4 & 1.12 , that way it should have a minimal effect on liquidity as punters wanting a particular price range have an initial option for variety & also there's a far better chance at least one of the markets will last longer into the game increasing overall volume with the handicaps so far apart , under the current structure when one market is unplayable then unfortunately they all are.


Here's hoping    Happy

Laugh should never drink and post

Seriously though, what is going on lately?
It's like they've put a 10 year old in charge. Useless market upon useless market...then the ones that actually count they mess up.
Throw into the mix the absolutely useless new site. It's just a complete disaster.

The whole company is going towards a sportsbook IMO. I reckon because they cant get licences in certain countries with the exchange therefore have to have a sportsbook.

So what does that mean in laymans terms? Are they turning into a traditional bookmaker?
