SF is playing a double header today and the tracking software mixed the games up. The +120 listed for game 1 is meant to be for game 2. I am watching the 1:00 games right now.

But matchbook was -119 and ehorsex was -117, so this game goes both ways doesn't it? Unless your looking for the 3 cent difference and that's only 2.
I don't use eHorsex in my analysis. There's simply not enough volume there.

He's saying the same thing here. Matchbook doesn't have the best odds for the Pirates so you take the Pirates at +123 elsewhere. I'm still not seeing the confusion. Compare the numbers between Matchbook and the other books. If another book has a better line, you take that bet at the other book. So in this case since +123 > +116, you bet +123 at the other book.

Again, maybe I'm just missing something but I understand it just fine.

That makes sense. Do you just look at the ones in post #1? Also is there a way to set up which books you look at on the site? It's a pain having to cycle through the 3 pages, I was trying to figure out how you got it to look like that in the first post.

It meant pound the Yankees (see rule #2), although it was almost a situation like we had yesterday in the OAK-CWS game as the line moved both ways.
