Sports betting lines almost always have a total attached to them in addition to a regular pointspread? Sportsbetting odds are so popular that in the past decade there have been companies that now provide line services. Exactly what is a line service? Do you need one when you get involved in online sports betting?
Sportsbetting line services are in business to track the sportsbetting line and also provide information to gamblers regarding injuries, weather, statistics, matchups etc. Some online sportsbetting services are expensive while others are fairly reasonable. Some players believe the line service is invaluable and pays for itself while other people believe the line services are overpriced.
The most well known sports betting line service today is the Don Best Sports line service. Their premium service goes for $500 or $600 a month and gives sportsbetting gamblers access to line information from a multitude of online sportsbooks. In addition to the line monitoring aspect, the service also gives gamblers injuries, late breaking news, etc. Other smaller line services have been in business a while as well and for much lower costs. It used to be Don Best and then everyone else but in the past few years the service at Don Best went downhill and now others are in the mix.
The line service industry grew basically at the same time the Internet came along. Until that time line services were more of a backroom operation where people called to get lines. Now it is a high tech operation where people login to the computer and see instant changes in online sports betting lines from sportsbooks all over the world.
There are many advantages and a few disadvantages to having a sportsbetting line service. Let’s start with the plusses. It is great to have access to instant line moves at sportsbooks all around the world. That is the bottom line for an online sports betting line service. The sportsbooks on the screen and their lines are the backbone of any line service. If you don’t have places that update instantly then the service is virtually useless. The bottom line in advantages is the multitude and speed of the line changes and the quality of the sportsbooks. Everything else is secondary. The obvious disadvantage is price. Is it worth $100 or up to $500 a month to see the instant online sports betting line changes? It is only worth it if you are a big gambler. Too many places have free lines that change every minute or so and unless you are taking huge action it is just not critical enough to spend $500 a month on a sports betting line service.
