Here is a great idea on how to beat bookies

[romanwarrior]

Yesterday I bet seattle -3 3.5 units winner
also bet philly +24.5 1 unit winner

so far 2-0 + 4.5 units, tonights games are:

nhl
buffalo vs washington over 5.5 -125 on bodog -116 on pinny
columbus vs edmonton under 5.5 -135 on bodog -136 on pinny
1 unit a piece ONLY IF YOU CAN GET THEM AT -110 with your bookie

I'm gonna be nice and sum up what people are trying to tell you Roman (albeit rudely in some cases)
You seem like a guy interested in sports and betting that haven't spent much time reading on forums like this, you've hit bullseye when it comes to a fundamental part of winning at sports, namely finding lines better than general consensus and thus having value.

This is common knowledge though and every day there are tons and tons of situations where you could find such opportunities, so do yourself a favor and save the energy it takes to post the games you find.
If every bettor in here would do this the forum would be filled with 200page threads where people share their 100 daily bets where they found these spots.
Grats on your wins and good luck in the future.

There is another forum that I read frequently and it is all about sportbetting, it is www.covers.com, surprisingly I searched on there and couldn't find anything similar to what I proposed. And on there thousands of people post their picks and records, so I will try that on here for alittle bit and if mods think it doesn't belong here please lock or let me know thanks,
Also adding

pitt vs miami over 38 1/2 putting this one in for 2 units.

Just as Limp put it, line shopping is common sense. Put it this way though, even if you get lines 10c or better than the norm, if you are still shiatty at picking plays, like are always on favs and overs, even getting slightly better lines doesn't mean much. Just stops the bleeding if you are a dumba$$.

Also that over is at 37.5 -104 on MB now. Way better than your bookies line at -110.

[romanwarrior]

I know that play doesnt fall under that category, after doing some research I picked it on my own.

Well brendan lets follow this for a few weeks and see how I do, If I loose than please feel free to flame away, I have won over 8k now, I know its hard just to takes someones word for it, therefore I will post my plays prior the game so you can check them out and see how I do for myself.

[brendanb438]

I believe you are up 8K based more on being a solid capper than just because you got a line at -110 vs Bodog. That is all I am saying. This isn't a great idea to beat a bookie. That is why you don't read anything about this on Covers. If your bookie is 20c or more off what Vegas is dealing than you have a dumb bookie who is gonna get what he deserves. Most bookies are not this way.

[romanwarrior]

Well I have to disagree with you on that, most local bookies who don't take any interstate bets will be that way

And what you are saying is false brendan. He's hitting rogue lines from a square book, not picking winnnahs.

Everyone has heard of covers. We refer to it frequently.
If you knew what you were looking at you would understand that a lot of what is being discussed is no different than what you are proposing.

I'm sorry I'm getting rude here but it's already been explained to you several times in this thread and you seem no closer to understanding than at the beginning. This is not a 'system'. It's you finding favorable lines.
People do this all the time. Like non-stop. Like people keep saying over and over again that "line-shopping is critically important."

They consult Pinny for the 'true' line and then know that when they find a line that is significantly different than that then there is likely value.
