why do you have yanks -170? The highest I see anywhere is -164 Bodog and most are -155 or below. Likewise most places have stars at -155 to -160.

Line shopping means everything. If you got Yanks -157 and Stars -157 (conservative middle of the range), your parlay would pay you an extra $30, even more if you got the best available lines. That's an extra 10% win (on your $300 winnings on this bet). Keep giving that free $30 to the book and you will end up broken quick.

good luck in any case

I've been betting with sportsbetting.com and I keep hearing that my lines are off.. But they do have free unlimited withdraws which was one of the factors I was looking at.

Good luck to you too.. Especially if you're leaning on the same games, same players.
