Anyone Online or Brick/Mortar Books keep a W-L record?

Looking at our fellow resident local bookie’s record below got me thinking about this.

I know they just care about handle. But this would seem to be valuable info to them as well to know how well your line info your are getting and using is.

YTD-CBB

GOY 0-1
SUPER MONSTERS 6-7
MONSTERS 46-33

Regular
270-300

Anyone know here?? One of the biggest, if not the biggest, local books in the world (our very own mr big bookie report is 34-46 since March 7 (including 0-10 on Monster mashes over the past 7 days with today looking very suspect at the time).
He's getting smoked today as well...are the light bulbs dimming in Vegas?

I don't think bookies care about this at all. They only care about total action.

Truthfully, it much much more rare to be lopsided on a game than one would think. With teasers, parlays, props, 1st half, live, 2nd half get way more action on these the standard spread on a game. There's just too many options to be so lopsided that you actually care about the outcome of an individual game.

Plus betting isn't about just picking winners. it's a psychological battle as well. when your down you bet differently. when youre up you bet differently. Record tracking would do books no good IMO.

Newsflash- books lose more decisions than they win. This is why you can't just bet on the book's side blindly and win. +110 is extremely strong. It outruns all the decisions that don't go the book's way.
