Middling/scalping PROPS is relatively an easy way to profit,.......

Fishhead · Jan 21, 2009

.....especially so in the few days leading up to and the day of the SUPERBOWL.

There is no way shops can keep up with the moves, and some don't even bother to try.

I know for a fact some of you had some nice WIN-WIN wagers in the recent NFL CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS.

As an example, a VERY close friend of mine had a 65 cent scalp on a RAY LEWIS tackle prop this past weekend.

Yes these props aren't hard to find. It seems like you start this kind of thread every few months or so.

Before a newbie thinks it's easy money, you should include what the limits are on these props, how much it cost to withdraw and how long it takes.

You can train a monkey to find these bets, but it's not like the neteller days where you have instant access to your money.

I used to do a ton of this fish... Helps if you still have high prop permission $$$ (like $250 a prop or more) so you can make something decent on the scalps/middles...it takes lots of time and you have to have the ability in short term memory to memorize the offerings and lines at different shops as you scan them.. they are hardly ever in the same order unless its a clone from the greek which helps the most)... you need some good judgement if for example a WR REC yards over 69 -125 at one shop and under 79 -105 at another is an actual positive ROI middle, you have to make some judgements...and you have to look look look everywhere. I still do it at a few combinations of books that I know their offerings and order and usually find a few. but its lots of work...

This is why baseball season can be profitable....

i can count on one hand over the years the number of baseball props (usually props like who has more total bases player A vs Player B) that have been off at sportsbooks to scalp...they just dont move that muvh.

Only thing almost as easy to scalp is NHL totals

trytrytry · Jan 21, 2009

hines..wow I dont hardly ever see a scalp NHL total situation. Would you PM me what sportsbooks you like to use? totals just dont move that much and most shops have 20 cent lines making the line move extreme to even get to scalp position... Give a few more details... I am a bit out of practice with daily scalping..

Jambruins · Jan 21, 2009

Hines, nhl total scalping seems pretty difficult as the lines don't seem to move much. How do you pull this off?

True. Gotta have pen and paper though. Don't take much money to move the lines, and watch for the "bad line excuse" when the book gets exposed.

HinesWard86 · Jan 21, 2009

try x3 and jam,

Go across the street and look at the WVU thread on bonus whoring and scalping. I posted a lot of nuggets in there.

Since I posted that the scalps have not been as plentiful and they are very small but they help big-time with rollovers and the like

I wouldn't even try anymore, can't move money easily into minor books to do it.

This prop scalping can't really be done anymore, IMO.

Doug, I respect your opinion, but this is absolutely untrue.

Prop scalping can be very very profitable. Hell, if safety is your concern take a look at scalps available between Greek and 5 Dimes. They are there.

whormoan · Jan 21, 2009

Easy $$$. For example, why is Ariz favored to get the 1st sack of the game (on Greek). Pitt will be throwing less, likely get the ball 2nd, and Pitt D blitzes like crazy.

I thought you don't bet sports anymore ?

I can't scalp Matchbook against 5D, can't move money, don't trust but a few other books.... it's not 2001.

I need Neteller to even think about looking at doing this.

chacun ses gouts !

You really need credit accounts to do this properly...with big limits....

HinesWard86 · Jan 21, 2009

$500 max is the most I have seen on any prop at any book

If any books have more than a $500 max I am all ears

Also be very careful on the wording of props. Sometimes they may seem like the same wager, but slightly different wording can change everything and be very costly. Read carefully!

Very good advice. From my experience the main culprit of this is MLB props. One book will say the player has to start for action while the other says he just needs to play for action.
