What books do you recommend for page 1

 

[1968]

well i set mine up similiar to hoosiers. Matchbook first, then betjam, ive got cris, olympic, pinnacle, then some of the more square books like betus and bodog

What books do you recommend for page 1

I have Matchbook, BetJam, Wager street, 5 Dimes furthest over to the rightside so I can still see them after the games start. Pinnacle, Bookmaker, Greek on the left.

And if anyone cares i have found a great method by usiing rule 4 to pick totals... i experimented with it today and went 3-0-1, and the 1 push was the marlins under with 2 runs coming in the 9th inning.... shoulda been 4-0, but ill take 3-0.. its very similar to sides.... i experimented and it hit 3-0, so if anyone wants that info you can PM me....

Padres was the play under rule #1.

wasn't the dbacks the play under rule #3?

which rule is the strongest to follow

 

[Funnyb25]

Rule 3 is solid... only one that lost on rule 3 was the indians..

 

[ZJP6050]

correct me if i'm wrong please...weren't the dbacks the play under rule #3? i was following rule 3 today and played what you pm'ed me earlier but tried double checking for myself.

yup... d backs were the play under rule 3..... when i pm'ed you i told you the 3 picks that havent started yet were the rockies, a's, and dbacks... well rockies won 10-1, A's are up 9-4, and the d'backs are up 2-0

 

[Hip2Bsq]

Rule 3 seems to be the easiest to locate... for me anyway. If it stays solid I may just focus on it. Just look at the lines in the a.m. then make your plays and wait till 1st pitch. I am going cross eyed reading the movements all day.

i played all that you pm'ed me aside from the rockies, not sure why i didn't play them lol. took the nationals instead of rockies

 

[Hip2Bsq]

D'backs just got out of a bases loaded jam with no damage....

 

[1968]

yes, dbacks fit #3, padres #1, in the future ill just lay off ones that contradict

 

[Funnyb25]

i believe rules 3 and 4 are the most solid....

the Nats were a play according to rule 4, and i think they won like 40-1 or something.... cash money

Focus on these 3 times:

1) Sharp movement from when the lines open (4:00) (rule #4)
2) Overnight movement at 5Dimes (rule #3)
3) Arbitrage opportunities at game time (rule #1)

Then again, if you do watch during the day, look for lines that are simply "out there", such as the Washington +130 line at Wager Street. This is a line that is at least .10 worse than every other line on the board.

4:00... is that PST or EST? im guessing eastern...

 

[Hip2Bsq]

Its eastern I think so 1p.m for us. BetJam has lines up around 1p.m. I noticed today. PST

 

[Hip2Bsq]

I did not get that sweet # on WAS but I got it at +110.
