General,
If you want the honest truth..You don't really need more than 8-12 books at one time. Anything more than that is overkill. I laugh when I hear that some guy has 32 books that he has posted with. This is ridiculous and there's no way you can follow 32 books at the same time. They will all time out. Plus, they will all be within a penny if you have 32 books. Just keep your best 10, and you will be ok. Even JJ is right on this one, 5 books can be enough, but they got to be 5 good books with very opinionated lines. That's what you need. I'd rather have 5 great books that move on action, rather than air, than have 18 books who go right off the Donald Best screen..
No need for more than 10 books kid..

i use a spreadsheet and it helps
5 books is more than enough if you pick them right...1 or 2 low juice books, 1 square book, 1 sharp book, etc. If ic ould pick 5 now, it would be:
Pinnacle for juice
5 dimes for props and sometimes opinionated lines
SIA for square lines
Carib for opinionated lines
and one other of your choice.
Gettin\g the best available line can add 1% to your handicapping. When you only need to hit 52.4%, that helps. Add in reduced juice and you can see the benefitd.
