        middling isnt a long term success. But if the hold is mathematically even then it can be used. But betting Team A at -5 -110 versus Team B +8 -110 isnt going to cut it, even with 2 points and 2 pushes and a 7 to hit. If you can get it and pay only a dime (combined by either side) it is worth taking a shot. But even then it can depend on other factors.

                            O RLY? Who are they? I mean, you don't have to name all one hundred if you don't feel like it.....but kudos for even knowing such a thing. It's like you're omnipotent.

                              You cannot bet -110 lines in Vegas when you can get them at like -103 or so at some non usa books

                              Its impossible to overcome

                                Team X +5 -110 (Vegas)
                                Team X +4 -103 (Offshore)

                                Vegas pisses away money. They give away more arbs than all the square books combined. Some day, just sit and watch Vegas Insider, and compare to Pinnacle. Especially on the smaller markets. There are betting groups that earn a bulk of their earn from this.

                                  ok you might be right but the key word is ARBS

                                  Its only way to make money and of course you need access to worlwide books to do this not just Vegas

                                      Not to start an actual discussion or anything but would you sacrifice the point for 7 cents? Or was that a typo? Or would you try and side it with +5 -110 and -4 -107/-103(depending on how they run it). Or is that an arbitrary set of numbers? I know what I would do in all those situations just wondering what yoou were getting at.

                                      Obviously there are a lot of opportunities in some markets (even today) to open up decent windows to manipulate yourself through. But Vegas versus a local is a lot better. Offshore can be done but if you are in the US or in the US and dont want to run accounts through books closed to US players it is going to close so many of these that it is scarey.

                                      The real advantage with offshore is you get the openers to bet into fresh, but the limits are generally too small to really take advantage, and you need to find a line you can whack two or three times at a book with software that lets you bet again if the line moves, and then that software has to be generous with its movements. As in a penny or 3 each time. But not many, if any fit that criteria anymore. Pertains to baseball in that regard.

                                      I dont have any open offshore accounts anymore, while it is convenient to do it with a keyboard it is just as easy to look at a screen to get comparisons then talk to someone and do it the old school way. Less fear of getting paid as well since you always know where the person is who owes you money and anytime you get stalled it is a 4 hour ride across the desert or 45 minutes into town.
