I agree and disagree. There are an abundance of "clone" shops, and many wait forever to open up. However, if you play at the right spots, and work hard, you can still get an assortment of good #s(timing is everthing). There are more reduced vig shops than at any time I can remember, and this is where a professional can gain the single biggest advantage in sports wagering.
No offense intended, but you either haven't been around long or don't have a good memory.
