This is one of the postives about playing with locals.

I called my locals earlier tonight for the football game. Well, out of curiosity I asked for the baseball line tonight. One local gave me that line at the Cardinals -120, another one gave me the Cardinals at -130, and another one I always use gave me the cardinals -130.

Gee, I wonder what I should do.

[DrSlamm]

i would bet them -111 on canbet personally

You always get good line for the Cardinal games. Well for the comeback that is.

How much action did they have on the Cardinals tonight Dan?

[bigboydan]

I bet a dime on the Mets looker. I like them tonight from the start, and the value was too good to pass up.

I was referring to the bookies there, how much did they take in on the Cards?

[bigboydan]

oh, it was completely lopsided tonight looker. roughly 80% was cardinal action.

i wish i knew some good locals in southern california

[Tchocky]

You're being sarcastic...aren't you? What was the line they were offering on the Mets?-170?
It amazes me how these guys survive. They must have some real rubes for customers and/or liberal credit options.

You're being sarcastic...aren't you?

No sir I am not.

I called up my locals for pucks tonight, and again i asked for the baseball line tonight. One of my locals game me that line at a pick'um tonight. When I asked him why in the hell he made that line a pick, his reply was that he did not have one single bet on the Mets tonight.

I know locals adjust there lines accordingly on home teams, but damn! Naturally I took a shot with the Mets -110 again tonight for a dime if for nothing else the value factor.

One of my locals game me that line at a pick'um tonight...

StLou -110
NYM -110

Is not a bad line but would need adjusting as to which area of the country the book is in. Here in SoCal a pk line would do well.

most locals are just banking on you being square...
