    Baseball Moneyline "Market Price"

    What is considered the "market price" for the baseball moneyline. Is it simply the no vig Pinnacle line? Or does it include multiple no vig lines (E.g. 80% Pinnacle, and 10% from two other sportsbooks). The reason I ask is because I heard how difficult it is to beat the market price by betting at Matchbook due to bots, but my experience at Matchbook has been much different. There are plenty of lines, including commission, better than the Pinny no vig line available for at least five minutes as opposed to being bet almost instantaneously by bots. Basically, I want to know if I should look at other books besides Pinnacle to determine the baseball moneyline market price. Thanks in advance.

    I would go with Pinnacle only, if they are widely accepted as the best, why dilute the # by including other books opinions.

    Pinny is the most efficient market due to their .07 cent linsets and high limits they are forced to move their numbers frequently. It is most important that you are beating the closing no-vig number and make sure you keep in mind that commission at match book is taken win or lose.

    I would use the average of Pinny and MB; maybe also use BM and Gr in averaging.

    This is a more difficult question than it seems. It is a question both of liquidity and how much the book responds to market action. A book that gets a ton of action but never moves its line will not give you the market price. Going with pinn/matchbook therefore is the best route, and why I would avoid diluting your sample with CRIS/Greek.
