Can and will anyone try to beat books with 20 cent baseball lines?

Iceman · Mar 28, 2007

Putting together my plan for baseball this season and haven't decided which books to use as I am looking for a couple different things from each book.

Not sure which books to fund but need to make sure wherever I am I stay as transferring money is alot harder than the past years, obviously.

Not sure you can get much of an edge with 20 cent lines so may not go that route.

why would you want to when you can get 7-10 cent lines?

I couldn't care less if a book has 10,20 or 30 cent lines, if it has the best number on the team I want.

agree totally but I am talking will you stay funded (esp because I have lowered my totals books by 50% from a year ago) in 20 cent books.

5dimes has .05 overnight lines and .1 regular lines, I would think you want some money there.

For me yes, most of the books I use accept Moneybookers if Neteller has problems.

I can see the problem stateside though, I'd spend the first couple of weeks seeing which 20c books can have 'useful' lines, and keep funded there. Last year's info is fairly useless in the new environment imho.

What about road Favorites?:think2:

The general answer this to this question is you absolutely need a Dime Line at least in bases....

The more complex answer, is that 20 cent shops are also valuable for several reasons, Betcris and Greek for example offer EARLY lines and offer many betting options that you cant find at many shops such as team totals and other props.

Square shops like Bet365 and SIA despite offering a 20 cent line often have the best price on certain dogs despite their 20 cent offerings. (you can have all the dime line shops you want, but you will never get juicy dog prices like you can at SIA, Bodog or Bet365 from time to time)

Diversification is the key, if you can afford to spread yourself out, you need to do it.

I fully support ICEMAN and others who claim SHOPPING is key and if you are not getting the best number MOST of the time, the vig will eat you up.

Can someone tell me if the lines at Bestline are dime or 20 cent? Have never played Baseball there and wondered if I should load that book?

A few have asked but nobody seems to know, we will find out soon enough I guess.

Since Im just a mod in training you think Wil or one of the real mods could find out. Want to make a few deposits but do it before opening day.

For the 100-200 dollar bettor go and get your 10 cent lines they are a plenty out there.

For the whale who wants to drop bombs go to the 20 cent line shops and they won;t drop you for winning.

Though the whale might want to call and verify before depositing.
