Just read the thread on Vanzack's way to playing lower vig -- very interesting! Living in Vegas I am subject to 20 cent lines only
(-110/-110) (except baseball -105/-105).
For those who have followed "Bet the Best" the following are the differences between playing -104/-104 compared to -110/-110 (which I have been tracking the latter). Adjusting NCAAB, NFL, NBA, NCAAF the results are as follows:
W-L -104/-104 -110/-110
NCAAF 54-33 +1968 +1770
NFL 23-20 +220 +100
NBA 110-105 +80 -550
NCAAB 167-162 -148 -1120
------------- ------------ ------------
354-320 +2120 +200
ROI = 3.1% 0.03%
So I've made 10x my money by playing lower vig over 674 games. No need to adjust NHL and MLB as the odds that Covers.com are 10 cents in NHL and 8 cents in MLB (same as Pinnacles).
I am not familiar with off-shore betting and money exchanges so I will be doing extensive research on these subjects.
We are getting ready to challenge this industry so I need to know the pros and cons of lower vig and money exchange markets. All help is appreciated!
Thanks to Vansack -- very nice thread.
