First off, just wanted to say hello to everyone here...finally decided to sign up as I have an important question needing the expert opinions from this great site.
I've been a lurker for probably the last three years, so definitely not a newcomer here. This site has been a great capping resource to me during football, basketball, and baseball seasons. Thanks to all the great cappers here.:money8:
Now, my question: I've got five or so local outlets during football season. Two of these bookies use "dead lines" (i.e. come out with their lines on wed/thurs and usually don't move the lines at all unless there's a drastic event moving the line of a game like an injury to a key player or something like that). My other books are locals that use online sites (cris, hollywood) to take their bets, but i meet each week to settle up with my local even though all action is taken through the site directly. Anyway, my plan this football season is to finally do the smart thing and take advantage of some of these dead lines better. In the past I've simply used the best line available for a game i want to bet and only rarely attempted a "middle"-- like if I had two lines that crossed a "magic number" like 3 or 7, usually losing juice and not hitting my middle.
This year i want to find an online shop that allows "selling" of points and I want to middle all games with a large discrepency in the lines by selling points until i'm getting at least +110 for that side (while still having a chance at a middle--albeit a smaller middle). in other words, i want to do more of a "scalp" by selling points, but still having a small shot at a middle. I just figured i might as well wise up and take advantage of my locals while there still are locals that don't shift their lines.
What I needed from you guys is names of online shops that are A) reliable and B) provide an opportunity to sell points for the best value...
thanks in advance guys!! :toast:
