@BillKrackman LMAO! Use that $35 wisely my friend!

@jkarpsportsfan1 Def bias. How can you not love a scrappy ball player that can hit, run, throw and also play GG defense? All the kid wants to do is win and you can see it.

@BillKrackman Alan I always wondered when doing your ratings…example you rate Michigan at 104 and then maybe Uconn was say 99. How do those ratings correlate to the spread exactly? 104-99 means they are 5 points per game better on average? Curious to how # is created? Thanks! -Chicago Dave

@WatchMarquee First time I’ve seen a pitcher wear the Pitchcom on his glove, is that normal? Keep it up SHOTA!!!!! Go Cubs…..Let’s get some runs!

I strongly disagree. I've been requesting deci-cents on golf for a long time.

Deci-cents hurts top-down market makers and rewards better pricing. The game is no longer about queue position on something a square 6th grader could price because it's trading at 1c/2c.

On live, yeah, it probably hurts margins for MMs pulling odds from sportsbooks. Aside from the courtsiding issue, it's very easy to price something at -9900/+4900. It's just speed and queue management. Short term maybe liquidity dips, but long run you get more competitive prices. You say recs don't care about price but a rec does care about 499/1 instead of 99/1.

And your argument about taking being harder is easily solved via a configurable "slippage" feature that many orderbooks already have. If done right, it should feel no different to recs.

I'll be more active in live MM now that more than 5% of the field is tradeable and the competition is about having better prices, not being first in queue at 98c laying a golfer DraftKings has at 80/1.

Also, 40 million contracts sounds like a lot, but when most of that volume is taking at 1c, actual bet volume from takers is much smaller than other markets trading 40 mill.
