Get that shit setup bro, that's double income you are looking to make.

Yes you do. Look hard because there is money waiting to be picked up as soon as you find one.

When my local let me bet openers I found a few games where I would bet the other side at game time. Buying points on one or both sides made both sides +EV and I even hit a couple of sweet middles earlier this year in NFL.

10 units, for me it's a dime because my units are $100 each, if you units are $50 then you bet a nickel.

My local sends the lines about an hour or 2 before gametime and I can use the lines he gives me. Bodog had them at picke'm at the time he sent the lines, then moved to -1 at 5:01 and currently has -2 like you said. Over 6% of the time they will win by 1 or 2 so I got those pushes out the way for free

so does the data in the calculator get updated as time goes on? i mean it's using data for like 20 years bakc, right? i'm thinking like, will it be good 5 years from now as rule changes and so on are incorporated

Rules that affect scoring will obviously affect how the lines are made, but as long as you use a book with sharp lines to get the starting lines the value on the point buying is valid. Pinnacle does the job for you by posting sharp lines. I met with incomeraise earlier today at school and I was telling him about the fact that I don't care about injuries, weather (for football), motivation, etc. because that is already reflected on the line.

yeah cheme, that is really the beauty of this system. why do the research yourself if the experts at pinnacle or the market at matchbook is doing it for you? i think it's worth doing anyway, but knowing the "true" lines has also given me tremendous insight into the way i've done my handicapping. i can't thank you enough for this thread!

Nothing to thank me for bro, i just use it to track my results in different sports and don't mind sharing whatever little I have learned from other posters here.

Thanks bro, sure enough the Magic is becoming the most annoying team this season. When I buy them down to a reasonable spread, they lose su, when I bet the other team plus the points, they destroy them.
I really don't believe in not playing a team because they have burned you before, but I can certainly identify with people that feel that way after getting burned over and over again.
On a side note, my home-team the Rockets have actually sucked when I wanted them to suck and showed up when I'm on them.

Thanks for the points bro. It's basically like if you were to find someone that sells you $1 bills for 99 cents, or 98 cents, or even 95 cents, You would buy a shitload of those bills wouldn't you?

For sure bro, I should post my stuff around 3 p.m. central because I have to go to school and then I have a tennis match so I won't be home until late at night.

I how don't understand how you get these impressive records, and on so many sports.
It's like you were a whiz.
Hope for all of us that it's going to continue this way

Right now no value either way for me so unless the spread changes in the next 3 hours or so I will pass on the game.

If you read the threads everything you need to know is all there. If you can buy points for the same (or close) price as we do then you can make your own plays. A few people here are already doing just that.

What you need my friend is a local even if he gives you -110 as long as you can buy hooks for 10 cents it will be more valuable than a reduced juice book that doesn't let you buy the way we do. Both would be ideal of course.

I'm still tracking, just not time to post every day.
It'll be updated later today, and most likely every two-three days in the future. You do enough for us, don't worry about this

Hey Best...do you know if BetMania is legit? They offer free half points from 5-6PM on NBA and NCAAB and they have -107 lines where I can buy points for 10 cents per half point...
