However, i saw someone mention that if you see these lines on bodog or SIA offers .... you should just bet the max on it and forget about scalping. Someone told me that these are off numbers and if you bet every single "off" number, it would be profitable in the long term. Other examples are say if you can get an NBA team +7.5 in all books for -110 but you can get them at +8 (-110) at Bodog or SIA...you should just bet them automatically because it is profitable long term. My question is, is it always true that if you bet off numbers whether its only 0.5 points better, then you will win long term? Someone tells me that if you do this 100 times, there will be a couple of times that the 0.5, 1 , etc points WILL MATTER which is true though its a very small percentage but every single percent counts. The same with betting on dogs such as +8 (-110) whereas you can get -8 (+115) on matchbook. Should you always pound the + 8 (-110) automatically when you see a scalp opportunity such as this? Would this be considered an off number as well even though the line is the same but of course the line is different?
