    Book that doesnt move lines

    Say, hypothetically, you found a book that doesn't move their lines very much. Or maybe they focus on sports that are different from the sports that you focus on. If you just sat and watched which line moved the most every day and played that at close to the opening number- how would you do?

    the most important thing is to find an HONEST book that honors payout requests. sharp books these days adjust the juice to as much as -130 before moving the number to help balance action and avoid middleing. a book that does not move juice or numbers and offers high bonuses is a book that will never pay you. it doesnt matter what technique or system you have success with if the book doesnt pay you.

    Ignore the moron. You will win large amounts of money. Even if there was a decent chance of getting stiffed you should still do it.

    I guess im learning that theres a strong possibility that they dont move lines after 10am the day of the game...meaning they probably pay attention to overnight moves and money placed earlier in the week.

    Is there still enough sharp money line movement on the day during the game to make a difference or is it all square money line moves to balance out their books the day of?

    So what, you just follow the line moves and wager on the line that had the most dramatic move?

    How do you know its not public money moving the line?

    Public money doesn't move lines any more unless it is a heavily bet high profile game.

    I have pondered this same question in regards to our "government run" sports betting service "sports select" here in Manitoba Canada. Lines come out on the Wednesday for weekend games and lines don't move. I would like to do the research of what those games ended up that have changed 1 or more point from that time. Problem is that I cannot get the archived information of what the line was for this book at that time for previous years.

    I guess a guy would be able to use opening lines v.s. closing lines as this book uses opening lines. Anyone done a research like this recently?

    Youwager doesn't move on the market as muchas normal books...more on their own money. As their new internet business increase it would stand to reason they will have to change their bookmaking style.
