not so sure what that means. care to elaborate?

Catchy tune.

Watching Nitro Circus after the rook comes in throwing 95-96 and Ryan Howard hits one opposite field. Travis Pastrana was doing back flips off a 50-foot ramp into the waters at Rick's Cafe in Jamaica.

That song was in the background.

Thanks LGH. Here is what I played today.

Reds L
Tigers W
Toronto/Oak Parlay W
Rockies W
Braves W
Phillies P'ing


Phills WIN! Solid day, thanks again to Letsgohoosiers for the education the last few days.

Does this work for NHL just as well, with the 4 rules?

I wonder when Line Reading 203 starts?


I want to figure out how to apply it to TOTALS with the same accuracy. Funny got me started, so I am still looking at lines from todays games seeing if my early reads were correct.

Funny, this is the Pitt/ Hou game.

BetJam
06/06 02:00PM: 9½ -110 / 9½ -110 Opening line.

06/07 09:55AM: 9½ -105 / 9½ -115
06/07 09:57AM: 9½ +100 / 9½ -120
06/07 11:16AM: 9½ -105 / 9½ -115
06/07 11:33AM: 9½ +100 / 9½ -120 shortly after this it dropped to 9. This .10 move is telling me that they are taking too much money on the under. If I am fading Joe Public its time to bet the OVER.


5 dimes Pitt/ Hou
06/06 10:08PM: 9½ -105 / 9½ -115 Opened @

06/07 01:33AM: 9½ +102 / 9½ -112
06/07 07:50AM: 9½ +105 / 9½ -115
06/07 11:38AM: 9½ +110 / 9½ -120
06/07 11:41AM: 9½ +115 / 9½ -125 .10 move a few min. after BJ.

06/07 12:19PM: 9 -110 / 9 +100


This seems to be a different scenario than the ones you gave me yesterday. Maybe because I know the score fell on 10 runs. I am just wanting to start some open discussions. I will go get another game and see how we would read it.

Lets look at this one...

Giants /Marlins

BetJAM
06/06 02:01PM: 8½ -115 / 8½ -105 Opening line.

06/06 03:48PM: 8½ -105 / 8½ -115
06/06 03:51PM: 8½ -110 / 8½ -110
06/06 03:51PM: 8½ -105 / 8½ -115
06/06 08:17PM: 8½ +100 / 8½ -120
06/07 02:38AM: 8½ +105 / 8½ -125 This is sharp $$ hammering the under all night.

06/07 08:44AM: 8 -110 / 8 -110 Its been bet down by the time Joe wakes up. Play is on the under.

06/07 11:02AM: 7½ -120 / 7½ +100
06/07 11:17AM: 7½ -105 / 7½ -115
06/07 11:34AM: 7½ -110 / 7½ -110
06/07 02:28PM: 7½ -105 / 7½ -115
06/07 05:01PM: 7½ +100 / 7½ -120 Still moved .20 after being bet down a run all day. Books are begging for action on the OVER before game time with + prices. Final score = 5 Play was on the under.

Guys, does my sportsbook suck hard if I've NEVER had a better line than matchbook? Is the reason for this whole thread because Matchbook theoretically has the most liberal lines out there? BTW, let's keep this thread going through this week and see how we all pan out. Everybody have a good beginning to the week. Let's win some money tomorrow and help ease "the case of the Mondays"......

NY/Tam

JB, it does not matter if you cannot get the "sweet" line that qualifies a play when rules 1 or 2 apply. Just grab it where you can get the best number available to you. If I had a chance I was making the bets at the offline B&M casinos in order to get the cash. For ex. when Washington was a play on Friday at +130 the best I could get was +110 but I will take it.

06/07 01:02PM: 9½ -115 / 9½ +105 Final score = 7


Public $$ was coming in as game time neared on the OVER so play the under.

I was debating whether or not to add international (non-US) books, and decided to. Simply just another monitor to add to the setup. Also got to add a few US books, now I'm tracking all 30 books (excluding duplicates such as ABCIslands/Jazz, Justbet/BetGuardian, Sportbet/IslandCasino).

eHorseX 4-1 +$298
bet365 2-0 +$246

And to the guy who asked why I wasn't including eHorseX earlier who I answered "not enough volume", I'll start tracking it now. These might be good books to look at.

Yesterday: 19-3 +$1997

6-2 today (+$410) for eHorseX under rule #1. Puts them at 10-3 (+$708) the last two days.@):)

Note: Classified the PHI game as "ALL" due to the -107 number for Philadelphia on Matchbook.

where does matchbook fit in?? i believe they are the book to judge off of... say... phillies are -102 at matchbook and +110 at 5dimes... phillies would be the play and it would be categorized under 5dimes... what plays would be matchbook since they usually always have the best line... wouldnt they have more plays than 4?
