Whats the best way to compare lines?

Fighting_Irishman · Jul 14, 2006

I have several accounts and I have been trying to find a way to quickly compare lines between sportsbooks without using a line service. I know there are several full time bettors here and I thought maybe they could chime in with some methods they use.

How accurate are the lines services as far as logging in and getting the number you need etc....?

Thanks in advance,

spend 120 a month and get donbest express odds.

little delay buy not enough to matter to most casual players

Save your 120 per month on the Don best Island Express and just you the FREE live lines feature here at the Rx.

Or spend 550 per month and get the Real time Don Best.

maybe 1 in 1000 here can afford db rt.

the delay is almost insignificant unless you are dealing with sharps.

line service is a good tool here but nowhere near the features of express or premiuim.

Insiders,

Premium service with DB? Do you normally get the number you see on the line screen by the time you log in? Whats premium going for right now? I am looking into middles / scalpes etc.......

premium is 600 a month.

If you have multiple accounts u can get it cheaper.

Odds are instant.

You can also line up casinos exactly as you want them.

If you play high, premium is the way to go.

Depends on how much instant odds are worth to you.

The line moves are instant with the book.

Next question.......What are the best sites to go THROUGH to get the best bonuses? Will some books be coming on this site to offer pre-season bonuses? I am trying to line up several outs for all sports. I got some bank roll saved up and I want to try some of the stuff I have learned over the past few years working in the industry and surfing the forums. Got about 20K for the whole year and when its gone its gone. :103631605

invest in the US stock market instead. Better return of your bankroll.

WW,

$600 a month is definately worth the the investment for anyone betting more than $100 a day. The money a player would save by playing the best number possible would be worth the monthly payment alone. Would you go as far as saying every book on the Don Best screen is reliable(Won't run off with your money)?

I know nothing about stocks...........I am in this for the action and grind. Right now I could care less about a profit. I want to see how well I do at the end of the year and if i bust, well at least I had a lot of fun trying.

I personally would not send my money offshore currently. This is just my opinion but I would wait this legislation out.

To subscribe to DB Premium and make it worth your money I believe you would have to be a nickel to a dime player minimum.

There are plenty of offshore books that are very reliable I am sure.

Pinny, wwts, etc etc.

I just think there is to great a risk right now of sending money offshore.

But thats just me. Who am I right?

If you just like to gamble, play some middles.

Stay away from parlays and teasers. Bet with your brain and not your gut.

Dont be afraid to bet a dog.

Money management is key. Dont chase losses. Good luck this year in football.

If someone could provide me with a list of reputable sportsbooks that are not located in Costa Rica it would be appreciated. I have seen quite few complete lists, but I need outs that are not in the country.

Thanks in advance,

WW,

Thanks for the heads up. I have played at Pinny and Bet Jamaica and I usually play 90% dog moneylines and + spreads because I do believe in value and thats what I am looking for. I play favorites only when I feel my handicapping tells me its the better logic and I feel the bet offers value. The NBA finals was very kind to me this year and I started to slip and took a break. Now I want to take this to the next level and see what I can do with it this NFL season........

You'll need a Don Best equivalent there too...

I don't know if anyone has tried this, but Jim Feist has a thing called offshore connection which gives you a whole bunch of books that updates around every 30 seconds. You just have to join up and believe me they don't start calling you which is what I was afraid of.

In answer to your question, "sometimes".
Depends on if its a steam game and the numbers are flying.
The big shops move first as they are getting hit first.
You can usually get the number at smaller places that dont take very much in the first place, or sleepy locals.
550-600 is the going rate for the DB at this time, depends on how many accounts you have.
Well worth it, if you are playing high enough to justify the cost.
