Honestly I don't scalp but I play high favorites. You can bet a public favorite with an allstar pitcher overnight at 5 dimes and get it back at 2 pm if you want. Typically they hit a high around 2-3 pm for night games and dog betters bring it back by game time.
Say -197 overnight
-232 at 2 pm
-212 at game time
And not till may when teams are good and Pitchers are 4-1 or legends anyway.
Problem with the scalp is its a lot of money scalping -200
also you need pinny or a dog book for the buyback

I did this back in the early nineties and made around 15 Dimes from May
thru August. I took alot of leads and yes, back then you could get more than
8 cent scalps. I also had up to 25 outs at my disposal and it was truley hard work and you had better pay attention on what was bet. There were times I was going so fast that I would bet the wrong side of a game and didn't know about it till I got my figures the next day. I hired a couple of guys to help me during crunch time, an hour in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Was it worth it....back then, yes. I really would have a hard time doing it nowadays because EVERYONE has a Don Best. Much mor info out there today.
Also made some good friends back then because of all the action I was giving
to the books and all the clerks I dealt with. Commissions were also the reason
I was doing it....10 per cent here, 25 per cent there. But again, scalping is hard work and you had better get paid by everyone you bet...no carryovers!!!
