I have been looking at most of their lines . 90% of lines are high Vig....5% lines are put right in between the highest line and the lowest line on the don best screen. Now for the good part which is about less than 5% of their lines:

some ML in football ( NFL & NCAA ) are lower than anyone on Don best including pinny, matchbook , cris, 5dimes. beating them by 30-35 cents.

they throw specials out there also at -108 both sides. It is like they are begging you to take it for NFL & NCAA then they are gone.

they put up the lines quite quick and are open overnight.



the games are put in time order ( I was never a fan of this )


today is the first day their blew a fuse on android - down at the moment ( best to have an apple tablet as a backup )


more updates when they get back on for android.

I've probably wagered about $25,000 with them thus far.

Early on there were occasional decent lines.

Now they seem to be cloning and adding vig.

they are blowing smoke up the collective asses of NJ bettors.

Look at this statement from their rep:

"The books that use the Vegas lines frequently use a fixed margin. As the local action becomes lopsided, Vegas has two options to support their defensive book balancing business model:
1) Vegas adjusts the spread to balance the books while keeping the sides equidistant
2) Vegas adjusts the price

Generally speaking, Vegas style bookmakers want to have an equal amount of liability on both teams, so in the lead-up to the event, they often move the line to ensure they can cover either result. The line frequently bounces, especially where there is excessive local action on one side. This is a defensive method of bookmaking, and it is what most Americans are used to. Ask yourself, when was the last time Vegas had a losing month? Perhaps the way that Vegas trades is not the best way for the end consumer after all?

DraftKings manages our Sportsbook in a very different way. The DraftKings number is based on actual probability of an outcome occurring. This means we do not move the line to balance the books like then do in Vegas. If there is lopsided action on one side, our number is unlikely to change based on local action, our number is determined by the open market. Our method is a better solution that will be more efficient, and will return more to players over the long run due to our pricing model."

I was able to begin using it on August 3.

For the race on 8/5 I found some good NASCAR lines and bet pretty heavy.

Then after that I bet over their limit (their limits are secret. They won't say what they are) a few times.

All were approved except an NFL preseason over last week.
