Why you need more than 1 book

Especially in baseball there are huge differences in lines. I've noticed that books like BOS, V-Wager, and i'm sure others have extremely high lines on favorites. Searching for value in your lines can greatly increase your profits over the course of a year

go checkout the line at bodog on this cubs/sox game

cris -165
bodog -190

these are precisely why you need more than one out in.

Only thing with Bodog and Cris are the line breaks and CRIS uses 20 cent lines to begin with.

So the value is only there on dogs from time to time.

But if your looking to take the chalk, there would be a reason there.

So its always good to have more then one out to line shop.

I agree with your premise about the advantages of using multiple books, but just wanted to mention that V-Wager (and all the former VO group) deal dual lines. If you get their square lines, they are indeed way out there, but as soon as you hit those dog lines just a small number of times, they will adjust.

Yea, very nice. Now take an educated guess which bookie will be the one that cancels your bet (before of after the game - doesn't actually matter).







This one is simple - correct answer is "BetOnSports will cancel your bet".

You are all right about certain books dealing multiple sets, but if you have multiple books and spread your action around, you can definetly help your profits over the long haul. Personally I don't like BOS, but have some funds there, so i'll pick my spots and hopefully hammer them when i can.

I believe one needs a minimum of three, preferrably 5 or 6 books at their disposal...

I signed up with them and after my first bet on the first day I was with them they put me to sharp lines. It was only a $300 bet too. I heard from other people they just show weak lines until you deposit some money in there account then they give you the real lines.
