If you leaned Rockets, could have had +4 live.

If you leaned Warriors, could have had +10 live.

 

If you liked OVER, could have had 214.5 live.

If you liked UNDER, could have had 222.5 live.

 

Stop betting before the game; every point counts!

9/10 times you will get a better number LIVE than what you pay pre-game.

 

Bucks were down 9, could have got +3 LIVE

There is ALWAYS more value in game, just have to be able to find it. peace_5

Ridiculous thinking. What if your desired team leads the game wire to wire? For example, what if the rockets jumped to a 10 point lead in the beginning and you wanted to bet the rockets? The adjusted line would be super inflated. Would you still bet this super inflated line, when you would have been able to bet rockets -1 pregame? I see what you are saying, but things don't always go your way.

youre banking on a game changing leads numerous times and being able to identify on which exact score in the game is the best value. easy to try and be the smartest guy in the room the next day after the game.

The biggest problem I see w this philosophy is that you will lay around 10 cents more juice live. 

However, you will always get a better line. In the rare instances when you don’t, you can always lay off

It’s hard to catch it in-game when they are still playing. Need to wait for time outs to get a solid 2-3 mins to play a standing line. When they are still playing and the line and juice still fluctuating is frustrating.

Easiest thing to do is have multiple books/internet windows open.

 

Find a 3.5-5 pt discrepancy in spread/total, and then fire.

 

At least that's what I've been having success with ^

Now you're talking about WHAT IF's?  Silly lol.  Not sure how often you bet/know the game of basketball, but it is game of runs...Rockets did go up big early, I grabbed Warriors +5 (the better team and beat the closing line by 6 SEVEN pts - cashed).

 

**You also could have gotten Rockets PK, +1, +2 throughout this game - still beat closing line**

 

Now think Celtics/Bucks....Celtics go up big early, we get the better team at +4 (beat the closing line by 5 pts).

 

**You also could have gotten Celtics +5, +7 throughout this game - still beat closing line**

 

Again, there is ALWAYS MORE VALUE live betting....just need to be able to see it.

 

BOL moving forward linewatcher peace_5

Precisely...there are ways to do that without it being hindsight.

It's not quite that simple. The games you lay off are the ones your team led the entire way, those are the best games to win at without sweating anything out, so ifr you miss all these games because you could not get a better line, what then must your W/L % be to turn a profit ?

Because your passing up your best games to win easy, so if you pass up all those games are you saying  your going to win the games that are not easy and your team trails ?

That means you'd need to win way more then 50% because you already pass up so many wins, you can not pass up the easy games and expect to win all the games your team is trailing and going back and forth.

If you could of  won 60% but passed up 10 wins or 20 easy wins that you could not get a better line what do you think that drops your W/L % down to, maybe 47% ? or 52%.

Passing up easy wins is never a good strategy.

Instead of telling people about it why don't you show us. Start a thread and list all the games you want to find a better line in game and which team you'd want to take in game.


Then we can compare how you did VS how you would of done betting before the game started .

You are not passing up wins, you are simply getting a better number, and better numbers usually win more.

This post is more-so relating to the playoffs and how sharp the lines are/the value that a few extra points add.

Probably should go back to those day 1 principles then, seems like you lost a lot of knowledge through the process.
