Take the following situation....The bookie offers you 1 free point off a sharp line (either direction) in the NBA on the following conditions.....1. You must play ALL of the games and 2. You must do your plays immediately...i.e. no spending time waiting for lines to shift and getting more of an advantage. Who wins at the end of the season? I say the player as the point advantage should more than offset the vig. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Easy edge for the player. Hey, you could just have your buddy do the same thing based on the same numbers on all of the opposite sides. Split the massive winnings on your 2 point middles at the end of the year. If you each bet just $110 per side over the year you'd make around 8 dimes. If you bet each bet a dime per game you'd make around 80 dimes.

Serious players are in better position than the bookie IMO, but there are not a high percentage of serious players.
