Which Sportsbook moves the line first?

Mon Aug 22, 2016 10:13 pm

Which Sportsbook moves the line first? Not who opens first, but who is first to move a line in reaction to whatever. I suppose many will move it just based on their own action.

I thought maybe Pinnacle. Some say BetCris?

Looking at the European Books, I see Marathon, 1xBet, TitanBet, 10Bet, 18Bet, BetVictor, 5Dimes, BetRally, RealDealBet, LeonBets and OddsRing being very active and aggressive.

Pinnacle are clever, they open lines with just 5-10% limits of max bets, and let the lines move with action.  Even when they got their max limits on offer, if a line moves its because someone bet big on it, not because they moved it.    I still get a kick out of moving a Pinny line, especially on Tennis when they got their max limits on it, cause it takes a big ass bet to move it!

I have seen ever cases when asian and pinnacle has his own opinion. For example asian(S) has 2.1 and WONT MOVE and pinnacle has smth like 2.1 too opposite side. And pinnacle line wont change. There are volume-i can see it, but pinn line wont change.It stays 4 hours! until game started. I guess asian lines were clever one this times and there was some highroller in pinn

VERY occasionally when Pinny puts up an incorrect line,inverted odds etc on a more obscure market, some clown on Betfair offers the odds less 10%. Thats always a good day.

I heard lines move first with illegal / underground bookies in Asia (or should I say China) followed by the sharpbooks such as Pin. SBO etc. Then the exchanges and then the soft.

So, which are the best Asian Books to watch for first line movements?

Thanks!
