    The only way I could see someone subscribing to either a standard version of Don Best or Sports Options is if sports betting was there primary source of income.

    I used a month free of SO. I enjoyed it tremendously. If you're a rec bettor though, I see no need. Unless you're profiting over 200 a month, it isn't worth it of course.

      if 5% of sports bettors are winners, then about 3% should use a line service.

      its like a guy who spends $5,000 on all the top of the line equipment but doesnt even now the basics of that particular sport.

      When someone tells me they are using a line service, i laugh in their face.

          I assume the 3% get the professional subscription @ 500 month

            Only necessary if you have multiple outs. I can do without it.

              How is SO better than the SBR odds site? Are the line movements quicker and more accurate?

                Zeta uses it for scores

                $300 or more per game and have accounts at 5 books or more

                  no, bobby uses it for real time score updates.

                  i have 15 outs so i always want to get the best number. u can not rely on sbr odds for that. sportsoptions allows me to beat the pinnacle line for baseball ml's 80% of the time.

                  i beat the pinnacle line by an average of 3 cents (estimate).

                  those extra 3 cents add up after a while depending on how much you are betting

                    with 15 outs you should clearly be using a line service

                      Sports options is bomb. the 2500 a year is well worth the information provided.

                      sports betting does make up a good part of my income but its not my primary source.

                        always getting the best number is very important. why pay +120 when u can get +127?

                                      Pinnacle isnt a good shop to go by in terms of speed to move a line or even a 'sharp' opening line. They never were. When they used ot have overnight limits that were quite juicy we killed them for almost 3 years in baseball. Then they lowered the ovenight limit to something like 500 bucks and implemented their new automated software that allowed to make multiple bets if the line moved so it unlocked your account on that rotation number.

                                      Now that they arent taking much US money on American sports then I would expect them to be even worse of a barometer.

                                                    donker i have no idea what their lines are like as i do not have an account there.

                                                    many books are slow to move on steam so it is easy to beat the pinny line.

                                                        you cannot get apt when you do not work

                                                        the money would be gone in 6 months

                                                          All PAY line svcs overrated, imho. I'll stick w/ that opinion (for now).
                                                          Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?
