EMT,
Just chiming in. I was down about 4-5 units doing the no vig method of capping but changed that to following a certain capper and playing his plays and opting out when needed and now made back those units. I have had the best of luck over the years when following a capper who posts early (usually when openers come out) and this system that you have shared is perfect for that. Following someone who can usually beat the closing line and OPTING OUT when they don't ,this method, should win in the long run. Thanks again to EMT.

that is the key Dogman. finding a capper that releases plays as early as possible and beats the closing line more often than not. that sounds like even less work than this one.
wishing you long term success and if the opting out piece helps get you there, i will be pleased. good luck sir.

EMT,
I know of 3 cappers personally who bet openers, one in the bases and one in CFB and one in CFB and NFL that are long term winners. This doesn't mean you can't win if you don't bet openers but the ones that I know and win consistently are the ones that hit the openers and beat the closers much more often than not.
Two of them hit the BOL openers and since I don't have an account there I usually will grab the best number that's out there when my books open and then hope I beat the closer. I have done this for years but since your thread I love the opting out when their on the other side.
Good Luck to you the rest of the way.

server was down couple days back and i wasn't able to post the plays
this morning i was just lazy about it
pretty certain i've proven the point though that i am indeed the smartest man alive
updated spreadsheet, would've been up a ridiculous amount had i continue playing on. amazingly profitable season. done tracking for now. i mean i'll keep tracking myself, just not posting here and updating daily.
maybe i'll just pop in with a weekly update, maybe not
most certainly will revive this thread or start a new one next year
looking for some refinements Oil, Combato and anyone else that sees room for improvement. be interesting if had our own threads with different approaches, live data tracking and whatnot.
might need to consider going max bet on reduced line and matching bet on non-reduced line and just use the blended price.
although might finish down 20 units next year....who knows
GL all!!

EMT, thank you again for starting this thread. Opting out is still working for me and something I never considered since I started betting 45 years ago.
The only improvement one could make is who to bet and why. I have been using a capper and opting out if neccessary and keeping the play if the play moved in my direction. Not sure if that's the best way but working for me so far.

dogman,
i think anytime you find a way to maximize your CLV it is going to lead to long term success. and i trust the opinions of hundreds of thousands of bettors that build that CLV far more than my own insight.
another observation made is seems like money dropped way off once football kicked back in. be interesting to watch if sharps or squares are making up the majority of the movement. my guess is the former.
thrilled that i helped in any small way to improve your results!
