the book is going to adjust the line. you're not going to keep the same line if there is a pitching change. it's best to never play action because you might not like the new line or the pitching change.
if you play a game at "action"

Great advice. I can't remember the last action game I played. I think some people get confused and think they can get one in on a book like that. Nope.
Jack, I always play listed pitchers when I play offshore, but my local outs doesn't change the line with action. He doesn't more than a nickel on a game, but he keeps the line whether it moves against you or for you. I didn't realize they adjusted the lines offshore. Do all the books do that?
john, YOU are the man that taught me that a LONG time ago.
imagine playing ARI today (action) at -120 and they bring in Randy. would be a nice deal, huh? or, a bad deal if you if you had MON +110 vs. Randy

Thanks guys- just to clarify.
If I play the cubs action with Williams as the starter @-113 and their is a pitching change to Herndon and the line goes to Cubs -130 I will still have my play @ -113 because I played it action. correct???
I agree listed is the way to go, I think this is the first time I have ever played action and I always thought it worked this way.......

Back in the old days I don't remember doing that, but it really makes sence that with dime lines the books would protect themsleves.
I haven't been on the other side on the phone in eight years, but we used to keep the line . . . but it was a twenty cent line with 6 to 5 pick. We could afford to make mistakes.

then why do they have action if they are going to adjust the line anyway? Does not make sense- GO CUBS!!!!!!!!!!! 2001 World Champions
Imagine the guessing games that would go on if they didn't adjust lines when they changed the pitchers. For the action bets.
Yes, Jack, Johnson would be a pleasant suprise at -120 with some book that didn't adjust. You don't know any, do you? hehe.

Jack-
I know the guy had health problems later and I am sorry for that. But when it came to this stuff, he led a charmed life. If I ran a shop like he did, I wouldn't have two pencils to rub together. I am thankful that I have the four pencils that I do have.
LMAO again.
