Depends who has lines out when making events

No. Once lines are set on here, they aren't changed. We don't have time to adjust lines as they change

I wasn't asking to change any lines.

http://www.sportshoopla.com/forums/[email protected]

only has the against-the-spread bet available. By contrast, for example,

http://www.sportshoopla.com/forums/[email protected]

has both the against-the-spread AND the pick-the-winner / no-spread / fixed-odds / moneyline bet available. I'm asking you to make the latter bet also available for Eagles @ Giants. Thanks.

I added a moneyline to the bet, though we generally don't offer them when the spread is less than 3.

No, we don't do money line when spread is as high as it is. You realize that with spread where it is now, you would have to bet 100 to win only 5 so is not really a practical bet to make either.

Or, one could bet the opposite position, to have the potential of making a lot from a small bet, hence why the moneyline is useful.

Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate you guys putting out the bets, but I wish you could more consistently offer the moneyline. A few posts above, GoldenSpur was saying you guys won't offer the moneyline when the spread is low, and now you're saying that you won't offer the moneyline when the spread is high. Restricting the moneyline to such a very narrow range of spreads makes it almost useless since it is going to be available for so few games. Why can't you just always offer the moneyline?

First of all, when the line is extremely close, there is VERY little difference between payouts when like is less than 3 and the moneyline. When the spread is extremely high, people rarely bet on it so was a waste of time to bet.

We already spend a LOT of time trying to make a LOT of events for people to bet on. If we put money lines on everything, then we are going to have less games to bet on because we don't have the time to put moneyline on all the events, especially when making 30 events tonight for the weekend.

BusSport, adding options takes time - not just typing the stuff in, but looking up the moneyline, which is usually located on a different page. HooplaBookie not only adds games for the weekend, he closes virtually all bets, which can actually take as long as adding them, since he has to look up scores for different events and sports. In other words, he consistently puts time and effort into this, and streamlines the process by not adding moneylines where they're not going to get much action*. That's the policy, and we're sticking with it, so you have the answer to your question.


*And, btw, bovada (I have an account) doesn't usually have moneylines for games with big spreads, at least for NFL.
