I need your help again

[richard]

I bet football through my local bookie (people I know at live).
Advantage: Depend on bookies, they only charge me up to 5 % for each game I lose (usually is 3%).
Disadvantage: They let me know the lines just about 30 minutes before kick off. So I rarely get good points, especially for games that I tailed with some of you. I must say that most of the time the line changed did not affect the results (I either win or lose anyway). However, there were some games you guys won but I lost. Take West Virginia and NC for an example, it was 'pick' for Cooper and he won, but giving (-1.5 point) for me and I lost. (hopefully, you get my point)

So, my question is that is it worth to create online account? Long time ago, Cooper mentioned about 'loose line', what does it mean? Did you have to open many accounts from different sites in order to shop points?

Thanks.

ps: the only sport bets I play are football and world cup soccer.

you definitely need to open up an online account.

I guarantee you that if you have two or three online accounts and a local bookie, it will make a huge difference in the lines you get.

I won several games I could have lost due to getting a better line. The four that I pushed could have been won or lost with a half point either way. And I lost several games because I didn't get the best line.

If you only have one bookie and can't get the line until right before kick you are really hurting yourself.

Yesterday for instance I had one book with ou plus 5 -110 and another book with ou plus 6 -105. Obviously, if you wanted to bet ou the second book is by far a better option and if you wanted to bet florida the first book was the better option.

It didn't matter yesterday because Florida won by 10 but a lot of people bet ou plus 3 or plus 3.5 early on. When I bet Florida it was -3.

But it very easily could have ended in a 4 point game. In that scenario if you had 3 and ou you would have lost. If you had 6 and ou you would have won and vice versa for Florida.

And also, had it landed on four, you could have won two bets middling with Florida -3 and OU +6. It's a no brainer.
