When is the Best Time to Place a Bet

Good Afternoon,
I just returned e-mailed to a sharp client who knows that an extra 5 or 10 points on a line can make the difference in profitability over the long run.

The line changes on 1st half and 1st five innings can move rapidly since there is not as much liquidity as there is it betting the full game.

I placed my two bets shortly after sending them out this morning. I used 5Dimes for both bets.

I got Atlanta Hawks at +115 and Minnesota at +125.

I just re-checked the lines and now they have the Atlanta Hawks at +105 (good for us) and Minnesota at +145 (bad for us).

The key question is "When is the best time to place a bet" Technically if you hover over the line changes you will find lines that are better or worse than the ones I send out.

Personally, I have no interest in doing that. Once I decide on a play, I set it and forget it. It really does come out in the wash because half the time I end up getting a better line by waiting, and half the time waiting can end up giving me a worse line.

That is a small price to pay when you are also concerned about your quality of life.

In my e-book I encourage shopping different books to get the best possible line. This can be very time consuming, especially if you are working full time. Reality, is if you set it and forget it, you will save yourself a lot of stress hovering over a computer.

There are a lot of professional bettors that will disagree with me and I understand that. But over time, you are probably better off just making the plays when you get them.
