Every year bookmakers find their players getting smarter and smarter and many are overwhelmed with trying to keep track of late line moves and insider information that’s giving players the edge. The internet is swarming with sportsbetting information sites and live line services that more and more gamblers are tapping into. Many of the sites give their services away for free but even those who charge make it easy for recreational bettors to suddenly turn into the second coming of Lefty Rosenthal.
For over 100 years local bookies could get their lines from a newspaper or similar source, tweak them for their particular players and proceed with the business of taking bets without having to worry about getting picked off. If there was inside information to be had the bookie was the one who usually got it first.
In the early 80s gamblers like Billy Walters started the computer revolution. His Computer Group cronies took down millions in winning wagers before infighting and the FBI caused them to disband. In today’s hyper connected world it seems like every gambler is his own little computer group where line moves happen at light speed and inside information spread’s like wild fire. It has never been more demanding for bookmakers to make their living in the sportsbetting markets.
