OK, reading this forum regularly has taught me that the cappers that do well are looking for an edge with lines, for instance playing at one online book or another depending on who's more favorable, watching line movement etc. It got me to thinking about the local who I use in addition to online books and what I could maybe do to get an edge with him watching how he operates.
I assume everyones locals have different rules as to how they operate, but this is what my guy does that stands out to me and where I think I can get a small edge.
A) He uses America's line for NBA and College hoops. What I mean is, whatever is published in our local paper that day is the line we get for hoops. America's line is a syndicated line in a lot of daily newspapers, but it's set the day before in order for it to get to print.
My thinking is that there's a way to take advantage of the age of that line.
B) Total plays are only good through regulation play on football. Overtime does not count for totals on football plays unlike online books. So this is a difference I get with him as well, although unrelated to the hoops thing above.
Looking for some of the smart folks here to help me see if there's a way I can use these two things in future plays with the local to my advantage.
Thanks in advance.
