The successful book makes his money on the vig. Not on winners vs. losers. The ones that rely on that are in for some rude awakenings. Sometimes players win. I have a local aquaintance, a local book for 20+ years. He finally tapped out this year during NFL. Right after Thanksgiving. In fact, he became a deadbeat book. If you want to see what happens to a fading book look no furthur than the Dunes saga. It all gets real hazy when you start jumping sports, some may excel at football, and stink at hoops. Then they might just be bad in spots. By the time you figure all of that out you are still at the mercy of their choice. I prefer having control of my own destiny, and deciding where to bet with my judgements applied. At best you could take another posters play, break it down and see where they are in regards to your thinking. To me the most important angle is not what another poster likes but why. Or if everyone likes the same side. Some people like you and sb have nice writeups to explain why. Sometimes additional info can be gleaned here. Again, I think time by a novice would be better spent learning how to cap, becoming self sufficient, and watching line movement and results, vs. studying another posters plays and results. The more time you look at other people the less benefit for improving your game. Just my 2 cents.
