    Local VS Online

    hello , since i don't follow too much basketball i would need some advice .
    I checked the lines at my local and online bookies and i saw some big differences.

    NY @ Minny
    Local : over 190.5
    Online : over 196.5

    Portland @ Houson
    Local : over 205.5
    online over 211.5

    Orlando @ Cleveland
    Local : Cleveland ML @ 1.60
    Online : Cleveland ML @ 1.39

    I was thinking about making a parlay NY over , Houston over and Cleveland ML ... is it OK ?

    If you are able to get 6 points for free on those totals you should take advantage. Most online books follow the lines set by a few Vegas books and if Pinny posted those lines people on this board would be losing their minds.

    If I could get 205.5 on that Rockets total I would go to town on the over.

    thanks for your reply.Of course i will take advantage of these bad lines , i know i will be in profits in long run.I just placed the parlay and each of them on single :

    NY over 190.5
    Houston over 204.5
    Atlanta over 188.5

    I think at least 2 out of 3 should hit

    Is your local sharp with his numbers? If so, take the unders online. If not, take the overs with him.

    I personally think, looking at these games, that he's suckering his clients to take overs that are dead tickets.

    Just be aware a guy like this can run the risk of getting buried. A bookie who is not aware that his lines are 6 points off the market is a knuckle dragging idiot.

    If the guy has info about a number, he'll definitely shade to one side and collect on all of the lemmings who think they're getting a "steal." Bookies can be much more liberal with their numbers than pro shops like Pinny.

    what's he paying on the parlays though?

    can't he be giving a non-competitive parlay payout? i.e. giving you great lines but terrible juice/payout. i know that's how ontario suckered guys in my old office. they had no idea what the parlay payout should have been. but "their lines are off" they'd tell me.

    EDIT: didn't see you don't have to parlay. that bookie is way way off.

    Bad news , i am located in western balkan .

    Juice is OK .

    O/U is always 1.85 - 1.85 decimal odds / -120 american odds

    so the payout was 1.85 * 1.85 * 1.60 = 5.40 (+440)
