BetUSA.com (the book I work for) does live lines in all national televised NFL (not DirectTV....Fox, ESPN etc) and some college games. Also do live lines on the Majors in Golf. And we have been known to do some baseball and hoops (at ad breaks), although I am not sure that is going to be a long term plan.

There is no 'formula', although we do a sort of decay model based on total points and pointspread at the start. The two main factors are who in the office shouts loudest about it (!) and the position we have overall in the game. Quite often you'll get a value line because that results suits our position on the game.

ok now I get it....sorry to inform though that there is no "formula"....Most of the reputable books get their lines of Don Best...Line service provider. When they talk about live lines they just give you the updated lines for that specific book depending on their "handle" for that game or match. *handle meaning the amnt of action they have on the Favotrite and the dog lines will shift up and down from when they are usually posted , Mondays, depending on the amnt of money that is being taken on one side or another....

live lines = lines on a game in-progress

A book I knew who did live lines had a line manager watching the game and the bet action and moving the lines accordingly. The most annoying aspect would be action would hit before coverage would show an event because of differences in live/broadcast/satellite time delay.

You could certainly "program" this logic (position/action/scores/game events) and make it automated -- your so-called formula. The problem is that I have yet to see a live play-by-play feed timely enough and accurate enough to run such a program.

thats what i was talking about... LIVE LINES during the game... a line manager watching the game and chanching the line at the moment, in what does he based his line?

nobody knows? i really need some help here !

probably on half times you can use the score to guess the line

The book would have to have persons sitting there during the whole thing, especially if in the first half a key QB gets knocked out, so , immediately the line changes etc.

There are some books out there that have it. their names I dont know, but I'm sure the Major Books have already been approached by the guys who have it to offer, I think one or two might be experimenting with it.

there is no "formula"


try adding or subtraction = live lines

Most books put them up themselves by a bookmaker or lines maker. whatever you want to call that person, they make up the line during the game.

hope that helps,

good luck

Yep, human line manager, no forumula. The line manager might follow some rules of thumb, try to balance out some action, or just pure intuition.

Like I said, you cannot automate live lines until there is a live play-by-play data feed that is reliable enough and real-time enough to risk money upon -- and there is none as of yet.
