Question for NHL gamblers about how to exploit local odds?

[billbeater]

I have a local who has all NHL totals, over and under at (-110) odds ALWAYS.
The total numbers, 5 5.5 or 6 are the same as posted online.

Now, what do you think is the best way to take advantage of this??
Bet the over or under Always when the online odds are above -110 ?
ie. Tonight Washington online Under 5.5 is -135. Local the same Under 5.5 is -110.

Any ideas on how to play this?

Take every total that is above -110 online, thus i get a vig advantage,
Or perhaps just play the ones where i get a 10, 15, or 20 cent advantage???

Over the long NHL season, what is the best approach to make the most?

Thanks for your responses!

If he keeps it like this, then yes I would almost always hit anything that was -130 or more. But you still have to cap the game first, you can't just do this blind.

I have a similar situation to this with mine. It was always annoying during baseball season to see a line posted at Under 6.5 +120 everywhere and have him wanting me to pay it at -110. I tracked it and it wasn't profitable to just bet blindly, but makes it nice when you can get reduced on a play you already like.

I would bet unders on the 5.5 line.

RedWings O5 is -145 right now. Play over with the -110 guy and find another guy who will give you under (+125), which would be standard for this type of wager. Play both wagers for exactly the same amount ($110 to win $100 on the over and $100 to win $125 on the under). If the over hits, you break completely even. If the under hits, you win free money. Might not sound like much, but if you exploit this all season, the zero-risk earnings will add up. Do this for every game where you can get higher than a (+110) return on the opposite bet you took with your local. Multiple books and shopping around are the keys. Just a thought.

I do like that idea also, thanks Randy!

ALL 4 Games Tonight currently have over +110 one the over or Under!!!!!!
FREE $$$
Just bet the highest return games, or bet all 4 ?

 

[billbeater]

Only the Det. game could use a 5 or 5.5 line. I will know when the lines arrive by 5pm

 

[RenoChazz]

This is like going to Vegas and they let you be the dealer. Take what can that's 15 cents off, lot of unders will be -125 or higher. Same with overs. No capping needed, it's like you're the bookie.

 

[billbeater]

Ok, I will play all the totals that way Reno! Let's hope it works.
Wed:
Buf Under 5.5 -110
Bos Over 5 -110
Det Under 5.5 -110
Col. Under 5.5 -110

First: forward me the contact info for your local
Second: do what Dirty Randy said!

Went 4-0 +800 just playing blindly with the higher vig O/U option today.
But to make this easier and certain, I will just use online books and play both sides.
Let's hope the local doesn't change the vig on totals...

Playing both sides will actually cut into you ROI, you'll be giving some of your edge back. The only way playing both sides works to your advantage is if you bet your entire bank bankroll daily, because there's no risk you can get crazy like that.

Thanks Chaz, great insight.
