overnight

In Response To: GOATS (michael)

Some posters, including hosts, do post using early lines.

StevieY's NHL/hoops picks are usually overnights, and Colin Caster posts college picks Sunday nights when the lines come out. And their lines do frequently move rapidly, so they are sometimes not available by morning.

Obviously, not all books have lines posted overnight, so the WA criterion used here has generally been interpreted as meaning 20% of books which have lines posted at the time of the post.

In such thinly dealt markets with only a handful of books posting, "20%" of 5 books might put you back to using just Pinnacle. If you are posting at times when just a handful of books have posted lines, I think the spirit of the rule would suggest that you at least pick the second-best available line. If Pinnacle is 10 cents better than every other book out there, it is likely that the line you are betting into and posting will last minutes rather than hours. At least give any potential followers a shot at playing along with you. If you personally are doing better than your "official record", good for you.

You can continue do as you please, but attempting to follow the spirit of the established rules might make your stay here more harmonious.

Good luck.
