      Fish....I asked this earlier, but never saw you respond.

      Do you give out any picks here on SBR or do you just focus on line movements?

      Outside of your Tiger Woods' prediction of "winning the master's by 3 shots"----I don't seem to recall you posting any picks.

        98% of my plays are scalps/middles................and I do many, many, many in a days time.

        For example, I have 16 games scalped/middled already today.

          can you give us an example of a few...just to get a better idea of what you are doing and how you locked in money..

          you must have line move services up on 2 monitors and your accounts open on a 3rd.

            In the past I've attacked most every sport from a pure handicapping standpoint, but in doing so I put in a ton of work to be successful and currently have no need to push myself that hard when I have a large capital to work with and grind away relatively easy money.

              Yeah, this has come up in other threads.

              Brock raises a good point.

              Yisman and I asked this in other threads but you never responded.

              Since you have "16" middies today---can you give us an example of 1 today?

              Just one.

              For us minions, ya know?

                    I have four computors but 90% I only have two running .........light up all four when things get busy.


                    One example is I laid -220 with LAD for 4400 to win 2000.........the game is up to +250 at Matchbook right now so if elected to take it now for 2000 to win 5000, I would be in a BREAKEVEN or win 600 situation.....in fact, think I may grab about 500 bucks worth right now.

                        Plus many places PAY YOU FOR making wagers, so not only do I have myself in a win-win situation a large majority of the time, but places like BETJAM(loyalty bonus) and BOOKMAKER(pts) will earn you extra money on your play............and if you lose a lot at some places, one can recieve extraordinary re-up bonuses(as they love the fact your such a loser).

                          The skill in all of this is that you had to of known that the Dodgers line would eventually move?

                            fish, is baseball the best sport to scalp? Obviously you want to find football middles, but then you are REALLY hoping for the game to fall right in the middle, with baseball, it becomes a win/win no mater what the final score by doing this right.

                              And Fish--where did you get that -220 at? I didn't see it at Match at -220.

                              I was up early today---and the lowest I saw it at was -240 at Pinny

                                My favorite plays are when I achieve a scalp AND a middle on the same game..........



                                CELTICS over 200 -105
                                CELTICS under 202 +107


                                OVER 200 1050 to win 1000
                                UNNDR 202 1000 to win 1070

                                In the above example, one would BREAKEVEN or win 20 bucks....................but if the game should land on 200,201,202, one would make a great score(2,070 on 201).

                                  I guess from a pure scalping standpoint, bases is best, just because of the sheer volume........but NBA moneylines, hockey, series prices can be profitable also.

                                  Also, when times are slow, I will check on FUTURES, and occassionaly find a few there.............in fact, took +2400 and laid -2000 a couple days ago with OKLA CITY

                                      Fish is right that is the best way to invest in MLB. There is just less opportunity in other sports, but it can definately happen. Lines move so much that if you know which way the public is going to bet, it is like taking candy from a baby. Sure you can also win by picking winners of the games, but why bother. Just take the sure money and enjoy the games.

CELTICS over 200 -105 CELTICS under 202 +107 OVER 200 1050 to win 1000 UNNDR 202 1000 to win 1070 In the above example, one would BREAKEVEN or win 20 bucks....................but if the game should land on 200,201,202, one would make a great score(2,070 on 201).
                                            outstanding...so it is a locked in profit, but you are really rooting for that game to come in right in the middle...hope the bookmakers were dead on when they put the line up. Sort of like with teasers, just want the line to be right, then it will fall in the correct range.

                                                  Keep in mind, this looks easy with the examples I'm giving..............but there are quite a few times during the day that I will LOSE on games............because the number moved before I could snare it or I take a lead on a game and I end up being wrong.......


                                                  I usually have 4-5 losing days per month.

                                                    One example is I laid -220 with LAD for 4400 to win 2000.........the game is up to +250 at Matchbook right now so if elected to take it now for 2000 to win 5000, I would be in a BREAKEVEN or win 600 situation.....in fact, think I may grab about 500 bucks worth right now.
                                                    Can someone explain this or am I understanding it wrong? How do you get LA -220 at one book and then get LA +250 the other. Or are you taking Pitt +250 there in order to get your break even, 600 situation?

                                                      FH, you must of been fairly confident in the Pirates line moving to +250 to lay the -220 earlier?

                                                      I don't think I have the balls to lay -220 in believing the line will move for the scalp.

                                                          Offshore and internet has created an industry all of its own. there should be fukking books written on this, Fish, get a user guide on how to scalp out there! Should be on the front page of www.sbrforum.com!
