Guys I don't think there is any huge differance tonight to make a play. I like the Boston example from last night. I'm only going to play them if there's a clear difference like that game.

From the first post in this thread I understand today would have been Pit, Mil, Cin, Hou. Thats watching the line move right before the game goes. Oak/Cws and KC/TB were showing both sides, so don't see how Oak or TB would be plays, I thought I remember something being mentioned about those 2.

+152 matchbook and +154 at betjamaica about 5 min. before game time. So it was a better line at betjamaica. The only thing i don't know for sure is if the +.02 is considered enough difference. It says .01 in the first post so I would say it was a play.

not a big enough difference he said.... if that would qualify there would be 15 plays per day since EVERY game will vary .01 .02 etc... he said u need more of a significant difference..

Rule #1

Matchbook always has the best line for both sides. If they don't, go to the other book and bet that line. It's a winner.

Rule #2

Matchbook needs action on both sides to function. It's an exchange. If they aren't taking action on one side of the game (throwing out a ridiculous line that's nowhere close to .01), bet on that team. It's a winner.

These two rules would have netted you a potential 6-0 day, depending on how these games finish.

Last night Col and Mil were considered plays. Comparing the highlighted plays to matchbook Col was .02 difference and Mil was .01 on this chart. I'm just following from what was going on with this when it was originally posted last night. I'm no expert on this, but according to the chart from last night, Mil and the others I listed would be plays. Also LAA was listed earlier as a play and it was .01 difference. Not all books have a better line than matchbook near or at close looking at all the games, so not every game has a play. That's all the input I have for this, maybe I'm right or maybe I'm not getting it at all, but thats what I get out of what he said and I'm just trying to help out.
