Damn Stag -
I might be able to try it if i ever get more than one book.
Would you mind posting more of these so i can learn how to do this ?

One thing to look for, Scott, is when one book has a team +105 and another book has the other team +105. You can put 100 on each and no matter who wins, you win 5. Sometimes you'll see a +110 on one side and a +100 on the other, so you can try to win the $10 risk free. I've hit a couple of these this year with hockey totals (o5 EV, u5 +105, for example).
If ever you see a + on one team that is higher than a - on another team, you have this kind of opportunity. It's much harder to do with books that have 20 cent lines. Say the yanks were -190 at book A and the O's were +200 at book B. If you lay 100 on the O's at book B, and 190 on the Yanks at book A, you're able to win $10 if the O's win but you break even if the Yanks win.
The only caveat is that you want to do this with two browsers open so that a line doesn't change between bets because you could end up with all your money on one side that you don't really want. If your normal wager is $100, then you need to bet $2000 to win $100 under these conditions.
And, of course this kind of play is impossible if you only have one book.
