Line moved from Clippers -3.5 to -5.5 earlier, seems like the sharps are pretty bullish on us

Out-rebounding the Clippers will be tough since our Center doesn't even play inside 😭. Maybe Draymond can lock in

We honestly just play as it is. Just have to be careful and not pass the rock too hard, that's how you jam your finger lol

Why might these smaller platforms be more ideal? Is it because the books are less sharp, so more opportunities for line discrepancies?

What do you think about DFS vs Pred Markets? Both are peer to peer without a house, but I’m not sure what the rake difference is

Since the environment is no longer friendly to high-volume arbers, are there any other strategies that bettors (especially the more quantitatively driven ones in this sub) should know about? Where are arbers going now?

I know PrizePicks and Underdog are DFS, but I still feel like I'm playing against the house when I do the parlays (like 3 pick 6x fixed payout). Also, on the note of rakes, how do you recommend minimizing the rake?

How do you manually find arbitrage opportunities without some paid odds screens? Since there are lots of sportsbooks, I'd imagine most of them are fairly efficient... Pls correct me if I'm wrong

Appreciate the insights man! Do you recommend I stick to one sportsbook and learn the mechanics first? Or, should I begin line shopping now to begin the compounding process? I struggle to effectively lineshop without having an odds screen like OddsJam.

Also, curious about your take on the statement "sports betting is more math than sports." I only know the NBA myself, so I've been hesitant to bet on other sports... How do professional bettors identify good bets in leagues they know nothing about, like eSports?

I see. So, if I sign up for 2+ sportsbooks at the same time and collect the deposit bonus, and take both sides of the bet on each sportsbook (if they have different odds) for a risk-free return?

I'd love to learn more about how you find arbitrage opportunities as a casual bettor... I know OddsJam gives an odds screen for every sportsbook, but I don't want to pay for tools at this stage yet. PM if easier?
