Scalping

[empty]

I have been betting with a local for a couple of years now and I'm going to deposit money into a offshore book sometime soon. I have never been able to try to scalp games because he takes bets at certain times, usually 30 minutes before game time. So I have some questions about scalping.

How do you know when a line is going to move?
Is mlb the easiest to scalp?
Totals or moneylines?
Start looking at lines after the last game the previous night then check them in the morning and follow up around noon?
Any reds flags to not scalp certain games?

There are some scalping opportunities 30 minutes before the game. A late lineup change would do it. Take Angels game last Sunday, Vlad was taken out of the lineup shortly before the game. The key is how stale are your local's lines 30 minutes before a game.

Morrison has created more scalping ops than normal lately.

That is good to know, LT. What time of the day does Morrison release his plays? In terms of betting volume, what is the total volume generated by his followers per play? It must be substantial to move baseball lines. I am assuming it is for baseball. If it is WNBA, then it is entirely a different story.

I may agree with LT most of the time, but he can be a Little Tardy.
