Book A:
Heads -105
Tails -105
Book B:
Heads +110
Tails -120
What do you do here? Book A has the strong lines, Book B has beatable lines. In terms of expected return per dollar wagered, Heads +110 is the way to go.
But if you are trying to build up a bankroll, scalping is going to get you where you want a lot more quickly than simply taking the good side. Going back to something buckeye said a few posts ago, you can put a much higher percentage of your bankroll into play if it's a scalp. You can't bet a huge percentage of your bankroll on Heads +110; you can on Heads +110/Tails -105. |
