USA books have no bearing on sharp
Money

We still need a sharp book or exchange, Gold.

I think there's room to make sharp book onshore yet.

But just to be safe, that book is likely to offer a higher favorite and still be shorting on the dog. A book doing that regularly against the market, basically reveals their cards.

When it comes to something like football, not just moneylines, one thing to do is to look at alternate lines at a sharp book, like Pinny, and see if one of those off books can beat it in their alt lines.

The straight up obvious markets, in big sports, can be harder to identify but if you walk down the alt lines and props, you can find books that are off of what most would consider an efficient or mathematically "correct" sharp book.

But even the sharp book wants action, so it has to price where people will buy, or sell.

which book would that be ?
revealing their cards could also just mean balancing action... or r they taking a side?

what would u consider a popular "rec" only book.?
as we know BM/ Pinny are "sharp" ones/ rather welcome all action.

Thats an interesting strategy to look at alt. lines and compare.

I'm still a little confused @KVB
specifically the part of WHICH* books to compare.
&
say Pinny is not budging from -120 /+100 .
but another "rec" book is going to -135/+100, say regularly .

what does this actually mean ? how would we determine. if the +100 is the right play
or just the rec book mitigating +EV .

KVB exchanges do not work unless 30+ states involved
Betfair only works because caters to entire Countries 57 of them

NJ has them no volume need tons of players and that is not happening individual states

Correct Gold, there must be a way, though.

Pete, great discussion there, I want to me a bit thoughtful on the answers and need some time as i have other shit to take care of right now, I see you though. I'll be back to this thread.
