Every regular handicapper I've used has been shitty, looking for someone who can beat props, would pay good money to finally end my losing streak. Anyone know of a prop service?

    Being able to offer a prop service. Anyone that is good enough to beat props will be moving the lines themselves (not to mention the low limits).

    Winning at props is very easy. The problem is that sportsbooks know this and keep very low default limits on props and will cut them even further if you win.

    The market for these is so small that there is no way a winning player could sell their plays and have a group of people all be able to get down on the same bet. I suppose if everyone was using locals and agreed not to bet at the post up places that everyone copies it could work, but good luck with that.

    You should be able to beat these on your own with a little effort.

    I agree with you, I was just asking for clarification on that, for the exact reasons you both mentioned.

    Last season, BM had NFL on occassion for a few games and on Monday nights. They didnt have any for Week 1, are they not offering it for the early weeks or just not at all this season? Also, use to play at Heritage but pretty sure I dont have an account there at the moment. Anybody fairly knowledgable with props, what site has the strongest/sharpest lines for props? Theres quite a big difference from site to site, just curious whos the sharpest in your opinion.

    Bookmaker moved their props. Click on the game lines and then there next to the spread/total is a button that says props. If any are available they will pop out.

    I actually subscribed to a prop service. He's no longer running the service but he ran it for 5+ years. He was the best prop bettor I've ever seen. He kept the group small and it was quite lucrative.

    Could you clarify the types of props to which you are referring?

    I don't have much to add as Tommy, Durito, and others have summed up the situation. I only ask b/c as I've mentioned many times, I built my bankroll betting player props (first NBA then NFL) back in the early 2000's when lines were an absolute joke and there were far more opportunities (I miss betting Greek's openers that would go from -115 to -200 in under a minute). I dropped the NBA years ago but still bet NFL, albeit for peanuts now. As far as the type of props I focus on, player yardage, I actually find far far fewer differences from site to site than there used to be.

    Yeah I would say the gap has certainly closed between sites. During football I do a lot of player yardage and a lot of player receptions. Ive started to do a little less as my local has some site that has some soft lines and rather than spend time doing the work for a $100 wager, just looking for a site that has sharper props, use those as a solid reference point, put my own thoughts on it and decide if I want to wager or not. Dont like putting all that time in for the money Im getting back. Would appreciate your insight and thoughts goats!

    Not sure what other insight I can share. Since my experience is that lines amongst books are virtually identical nowadays, one wouldn't be any sharper than another. Also, FWIW, in a market like NFL player props, I don't generally consider any book super "sharp." Props are still soft, it's just not the candy store it used to be back in the day.

    Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

    If I remember correctly I stopped playing props when I needed 3 yards rushing in the 2nd half & my player went
    out with a bad ankle

    That reminds me of the year I won my Fantasy league because we counted tackles for losses as a defensive stat..Vikings D last game of the year(a Monday Night Game) against the Bears gave me the title.

    Would love to find someone offering props as well. I have little time to attempt to cap these myself and I have a local who is allowing high limits on these.
