How to make $$$ betting on College Hoops.

I am gonna show you a concept on how to beat the books. Which I am sure everyone whats to do.

Everyone knows who Pinny is they are the ones who set the industry straight on how lines should be set. Then you have a few square books out there. SIA, BoDog, and Wagerstreet. These 3 tend to set the lines in your favor to get you to place at there shop. This is something we definately wanna do, this is how we will make money.


Example:

Michigan St -4-----Pinny

Michigan St -5 @ SIA

Play on Michigan +5

SIA is where you will wanna see the difference, but if you see a difference at the other this is fine also. Need to atleast see 1/2 difference. South Carolina was +7 @ Pinny and +8 @ SIA. So our play would be South Carolina.

Another situation we look at is where Pinny is offering as an example.

Example:

Pinny Line SIA Line
Ohio +2 -110 Ohio -2 +100

West Michigan -2 -110 West Michigan -120

Ovisiously SIA is giving usa an edge and saying come play or line on Ohio and that is exactly what we wanna do. As long as we have atleast .06 better in the money portion at any of the other 3 books.

Now alot of these games you may have to wait close to tip as lines move all the time as we know.


Please feel free to throw out any question here.

I think it's pretty much common knowledge in the sports wagering industry that Pinny has the sharpest lines out there

lines change alot throughout the day - are you going by closing line only? like 5 minutes before tip?

what if a line falls into your guidelines for 20 hours, but then changes 5 minutes before tip?

or if lines are the same for 20 hours, then changes to fall into your guideline just before tip?

don't really see how that is going to make anyone any money,it's just saying:get the best line available for your side

well there's a bit more to it than that, i think he's saying get the best line available at a square book - if a sharp book like pinny has the best line on one side, and a horrible line on the other side, there must be a reason

but in the long run, if you use this as your only factor in determining a side to play, im sure it'll be hard to be in the plus.

it can be used as one of your factors, but cant use it solely

maybe im wrong, but that very rare ...

yeah the way its worded is kinda confusing

trains, youre basically saying play the pinny lean, the side that they dont seem to want action on, the side that square books have a better line on

i think the peanut butter vs jelly debate that rages on and is responsible for millions of deaths deserves an equal amount of delving into as get the spread that benefits you. it's science.

For instance, pinny has Alabama -8, and SIA has them -8.5. Would the play be LSU tonight?

Guys we only wanna compare what Pinny has in comparsion to what the 3 books I mentioned. There are currently a few plays out there currently but I will post these with enough time for everyone to be able to place wagers in time. Most of the time the lines are gonna hold steady they mostly flucuate thorough out the day until around 6 or so.

The question so far are valid ones. So far this is hitting at a nice rate winning on a daily basis. As the plays are posted you can pick and chose which you like, but I dont recommend doing this as you know what happens when you cut out plays those are the ones that win. GL

Yes this would be a play along with a few others the bigger difference we get the better.

Here is a list so far nothing definate yet.

Illinois pk
Ohio pk
Lsu +8.5
Vcu -18.5

Thats all I see at this point alot will change by 6pm or so.


Also SIA seems to be hitting at a higher clip with these so using this book may help more in the long run.

more important to watch is pinnys juice'd side and to answer upinya question

its more important what it does through the day vs a 5 minute span just before tip
