Not sure, good question.

I NEVER use ANY free half promo, although do use the reduced vig from time to time that some books offer as promos.

More times than not though do not...........

Today perfectly example, as I just layed -8 -105 on Northern IOWA at 724sportstbook but listed it at -8 -110.

Perhaps ROB FUNK can get us a ruling on this if there isnt one allready.

Only if you post it before the game starts.

going to start posting picks without really handicapping, all my picks will trying to beat the closing line by 1 point. Also wondering if I can bet the other side of a game if i get a favorable line in the middle of the day or want out of a bet. I promise to keep very accurate and fair numbers.Basically trying an expierment to see/prove if I can beat hoops by extensive line shopping at legitimate books. Kind of excitied to do this, just want to make sure it is on the up and up...

Unofficially I don't think that using free half points is in the true spirt of the Tracker Forum. Mainly becasue unless any followers have access to that same free half point, using your play is impossible.

I am just adding my 2 cents here and will let RobFunk make an official ruling.


Thanks, wil..

you can do all that as long as you do it before the games start and list the sportsbook.

The only thing you cant post in the tracker room is 2nd half lines and Props.

I totally understand but i am not trying to falsify any records, what I am trying to prove is something I posted yesterday and that I have been doing on my own for the past few weeks and that is finding the best lines and proving you can beat hoops by just line shopping, it is an expierment.
(though it is too late to post this now(line change) I got Houston +4.5 and it would be something to that effect). if this can't be done than where should I post it or should I at all.

If you guys feel it is an integerity issue than i won't do it or i could post it as and expierment in the hoops section. The second I pull the trigger at a legit sportsbook I will post for all to see. just hopefully trying to prove a point (no steam plays versus slow moving books just line shopping)

Ice man-- The tracker forum is more for ACTUAL plays.......not for middles/scalping games.

After thinking it over I am going to post it in the hoops (ncaa and nba) forum and title it "The line shopping expierment" and I will explain it to all on the first thread.
