This is more of an "issue" report. Can we get an update on Bookie 3.0 or at least possibly considering freezing horse racing bets and removing the 10m limit on the other sports? The "abuse" that was used for the Horse bets can't be used as much (if at all) in American Football and the other sports. Last American Football season was screwed up and now this season is trashed too. It's really getting old fast.
If you know anything about RL sports betting, you know that not all bookies move their lines at the same time or even to the same odds. So it's very normal to see Bookie A move their odds lower and Bookie B and Bookie C keep their odds the same. Why does this matter? Well it's ok for Torn to have a 10 minute delay on odds in NON Horse Racing bets. It won't make that much of a difference in the other sports. Mainly because the other sports don't have huge payouts like Horse Racing does. Even if a team's quarterback doesn't start, player's won't be able to take huge advantage of the delay like they did the Horses. Sure, you'll have a few players that might make big bets on that team, but there is still a risk involved and the payout won't be that huge because there will not be a huge drop or rise in odds. You just don't large line/odd movement in American Football/Soccer/etc.
Just please consider removing the 10m limit, or at least remove horse racing bets (for now) and raise the betting limit to 100m or 200m. 10m is a joke.
