it always better to look at more than 1 book IMO...

ESPC if you look at the moneyline... like 1 book could be NYR -1.5 (+200) vs FLA and another book could be NYR -1.5 (+225) vs FLA.

Both lines are -1.5 goals but book A offers +200 so if your unit is 100, you would win 200 but book B offers +225 so if your unit is 100, you would win 225.

Most of the lines themselves are about the same like NW vs Mich St today was between +12.5 and +13 so there is no pt in jumping all over and depositing into another book to get +13 when you can get +12.5 at your 'home site'. That half pt just isnt that meaningful to me.

On the other hand if I would of place a bet on the moneyline today on NW and got it at book A for +315 then find out later I could of got it for +375 at another book, You would of cost yourself some money, protential alot of money if your unit of betting is bigger.

I dont understand the decimal system at all so I wont touch that.
