    Would you still bet on sports if...

    You didn’t have access to line moves? I’m talking SBR Odds type of line movement info, not just what you can gather on your own.

    Personally it would greatly reduce the amount of action I have if i didn’t have this info at my disposal.

    I bet for fun and out of boredom. If anyone thinks they can do this as a life line they are sadly mistaken. 25 years ago it was a sustainable income avenue.

    Yes. I think I'd be better if I didn't have that damn info. Makes me overthink damn near every bet. My guts generally correct.

    Saturday/Sunday newspaper had the odds in the sports section.
    That's what bookies used for years before the internet.
    Sometimes they would adjust but you never knew if it was just a local too exposed to a side.
    Locals most often took too many homer bets because that's where their customers were from.
