My local only charges -110 on baseball totals, I see -130 at some places do u think it would be smart to bet in favor of the high chalk at -110? I'm new to bases so any insight would be appreciated.
?Question?

just my opinion:
1) his totals might be different than the majority of the totals you see. obviously i have no clue how he adjusts numbers, but for example- you could see a total at an online book of 8.5 over (-130) where as he might use a total of 9 at (-110). the half run obviously makes a difference
2) sure there might be "value" in betting the heavier-chalked side at -110, but (and im not trying to sound like a jerk at all), you cant just blindly play something you dont like just because "you get a good price on it".
by that i mean say his total is 9.5 under (-110) whereas the other lines you see on the internet are 9.5 under (-125) or (-135).
yes, some might say theres "value" there, but if you just blindly play it without liking it (which some people have a tendency to do), then it just becomes "a pile of sh1t wrapped up with a bowtie around it"- meaning its a loser, no matter how you slice it- even if you saved a couple of bucks.
my suggestion is to keep an eye out for totals you like and the (-110) juice will help you over time.
but dont fall into the habit of "playing something just because you get a good price on it"
you have to like a play- not a price, per se

If you where to get the best of a number vast majority of the time you will be a long term winner. Regardless if you like the game or not.
gold cup- the best NUMBER, yes, i agree.
but the best PRICE? i cant agree there.
if you can get 9's instead of 8.5's, absolutely.
but i dont think you can blindly play totals at (-110) just because you see the same number with heavier juice elsewhere.

thanks gm2
as far as compensating, he doesn't, I know where he gets his lines and I usually know what the line will be before he gives it to me he's from the old school and it is how he has always operated.
I may be wrong but it seems vegas tries to push you the other way w/ the high chalk. I'll track it for a few weeks and see what happens.

When the total reads: 8u -130
Does this mean you pay -130 on the under only?
Sorry if this is common knowledge, but I see 8o -130 as well.

if your local is running dime lines on totals it would read
Oakland OVER 8 -130
Anaheim UNDER+120
If the OVER is the favorite you would see o-120
If the UNDER Is the Favorite you would see u-120
Oakland OVER 8 -130
Anaheim UNDER+120
If the OVER is the favorite you would see o-120
If the UNDER Is the Favorite you would see u-120
Thats how it works offshore and everywhere else what I'm saying is that my local does it like this:
Oakland over 8 -110
Anaheim under 8 -110
I think I can make some $$$ off of this.

Your talking about scalping....... For instance. You can gurantee yourself money everyday either offshore or threw your local... Case in Point.
Tonight @ Pinnacle you can get Detroit OVER 9? +114
You local you can get it for Detroit UNDER 9?-110
$4 profit every $100 you lay.. Don't sound like much does it... Do it over a course of a year and you can make some decent coin and risk nothing.
