how does someone succesfully use a line service?

[1968]

Reading the thread above i got a trial at a line service, but just wondering what benefits something like this gives us as cappers? How does it benefit you? (vs a free one like SBRlines)

I like the halftime stat features here. The running clock is great too.

Sports options I find really helpful. Has all the important factors. Lines from Multiple books,public betting %,injuries,weather,line ups etc....

I could see how that would be great knowing how long you have before you have to get that halftime bet in

I always set timers for every game when they go to the break. 12M for NFL. CFB. 20 Minutes 15M for CFB.

I take 2 minutes off the real time so, I know I have a slight cushion.

First off, SBRlines are not Live Odds...I believe that they are about 5 mins behind..

SportsOptions is Live, or as some will say, only a delay of about 1min.
This is Key, when trying to get the Best Line...That is, If you have more than 1 Out. ( which you should have )

*Also, Watching the Line move...as it is being Bet

Up to the Min Injuries ( sometimes before the Line Moves ) So Very Important............

Steam Alerts, Injury Alerts, Notices when a Player gets hurt During the game. Ump info, Weather report, a Ton of Books listed, Stats, etc...etc...
ALL on SportsOptions.

Just my 2 1/2 cents (<)<

When you say public betting %, is it like sportsinsights, because I think they fib with there %'s

Not nearly as valuable as it might have been with Neteller, IMO.

However, I never have used one.

The screen watching days(steam chasing) are about over. If you have outs that are on the screen(real-time), then it is a useful tool. If you hammer openers(CRIS & GREEK), it is a MUST!

 

[Betsmart]

I find it valuable. It has made me money already. I have been trying a system with pubic % and it has been good to me. I need to tweak it some

Public % teams >80% were 4-1 yesterday

 

[CarolinaKid]

i have been doing this for 20 yrs plus.A real line service and im not talking about a freebie is a must in betting.If you are serious about gambling a line service is a must,a freebie is for a guy who only doing this for small betting...........ck

The only debate is whether to use an off the shelf service or pay a programmer to build your own truly live one. There are different degrees of programmers and servers and I am convinced (though I dont know) you can get more live than the commercial services if you serve only yourself..

Anyways, not having a line service is insane.

In the old days a delay of several minutes was OK for the most part. Obviously those days are long since over.

I long ago wrote my own program to scrape the sites, and found I never had a problem with the books for the most part. Pinnacle and MB provide xml feeds, and ask you keep your hits down to once/minute. Also helps to randomize things to make it look like a real person is talking to their website.

Public % teams >80% were 4-1 yesterday

so you are saying follow or fade teams where the public is 80% or higher on them?

 

[1968]

at Sports Options- is there a way to see yesterday's screen with the closing numbers today? or is it gone?

 

[1968]

Public % teams >80% were 4-1 yesterday

today- so far-

82% colorado
87% Pitt
94% STL
80% DET
86% TAM
88% BOS
89% TEX

The issue I always encounter with following the pack (>80%), is that this always leans to the heavy favorite.
