How many books to use...?

[dideh]

Does anyone have advice on how many accounts to have (how many different sportsbooks) that can maximize getting the best odds yet minimize the time searching/comparing lines? ?

Is there a "good" or "normal" amount of books that forum members have an account with?

I imagine there must be services that can automate and send comparisons (but are they costly)?

Thanks in advance for easing one man's transition from the street to the web...

Well, the answer would be to have as many outs as your bankroll can accomadate.

Between shopping numbers, reduced juice spcials on different days of the week, half point specials, and so on, one book obviously doesn't cut it.

As far as shopping for lines....

The cost can be as low as under $50 per month or better yet, free by posting up with certain books. (Currently Royal Sports)

Use as many as you can afford.
