p6,
Obviously it only works if your normal bet is something less than the max at either book. But this will work for any $line sport and not just props. I find LARGER scalps on golf, and others do on Neckcar, but a 5 cent bases scalp isn't that uncommon if you shop and Pinn is often involved to boot.
I don't think that many players bet max bets as their normal unit such that there is no room for using this technique. If so, then it is not applicable. But TA is inferring that the -105 can never be a smart bet. I disagree as you must think of it in terms of leveraging it for your benefit and as a combination and not look at each side separately. I am proposing that you could look at the same example with -110/+100 and +105/-115 and it may be easier to "see it". But any scalp and ANY under max bet will be helped by this technique.
Now I'll go a little off and say that I have never read this technique detailed ANYWHERE ELSE other than posts I've made over the years. Philo actually paraphrased my explanation of it for our piece as I droned on about it and parlays and other things and he had to do me the favor of editing down my drivel. I may not be the only one that's done it over the years, but no one else has ever said so or published on it, to my knowledge, before our piece. So my coining it "partial scalping" is my own creation/term. So remember that if you do use it we are owed a royalty, LOL!
Other factors like balancing accounts is why I said free w/ds is important and having the bankroll to do this in say Neteller is another. Before Neteller I was much more constrained and less able to do this to the degree I can now.
