FourLengths: I've definitely been exploiting some of the books when they release soft lines or when I have even the slightest mathematical edge (+ROI) on a bet, but I make sure to bet only a little at a time across different books to avoid getting banned or worse yet, jacked. They've definitely been adapting though. I remember last year when one of the books had all NHL unders at 1.85 - 1.90, but after getting pounded on the Unders, they now have dropped the Unders Odds to 1.7 to 1.85.
Johon8: I've tried that live betting strategy before, even parlayed multiple bets, like -3600 Under 4.5 (Score 1-0) with -8000 (3-0) and other 99% bets, and it's amazing to see how one of these teams always manages to score like 3 goals in the last 20 minutes to screw you. Good luck with your bets and let me know if you have any success.
