Does anybody know any other good sites for prop bets and/or fantasy pt based bets? I use the most known ones to shop lines like 5dimes, bovada, mybookie, betdsi, bookmaker, betonline, heritage and sportsbook.

Anybody know any other good ones for that? Thanks!

    I think you've named all the ones that have the largest selection of props. BetDSI and BOL usually have pretty extensive prop menus.

    Thegreek is a great out for props, the originator of many props that are out there. They move hard on props so pound them super early when props go up, about 6 or 7am PST and enjoy 10 to 20 cents extra on the right side of every other clone book all day long. You're welcome.

    No, Greek left the US a long time ago. I miss their props; they helped build my BR and start my career in the early 2000's.

    Do you still do a lot of them? Any different sites than I mentioned above? I pretty much do 90% props right now.

    Yeah there's a few pph networks out there that copy the greeks prop lines. Tough to find, easy to beat. As Cools said, BOL has a pretty extensive prop selection. The build your own prop feature is a joke. Most of them you can only go one way, pretty much always a 'yes' bet. I set one up just to see how bad they are and took 2 nba players who had the exact same Total Points line. I matched them up versus each other to score more and both came back like -130. I'd stay away from mybookie and sportsbook/carbon (jazette group) for props. They have cut a few guys I had betting my props to $5 in less than 10 wagers.

    No, for various reasons I don't do a ton with props anymore. Sorry.

    The BetBuilder feature also sneakily puts that H2H pushes are losses. Total BS when you consider the prices they give with push percentages removed

    Wow, that's terrible. Didn't look at it close enough. No wonder they've been pushing that.

    Opportunities shrinking over the years, low limits, laziness, etc. I really only follow the NFL and soccer (mostly MLS and the US national teams) closely nowadays. I still bet NFL player props but that's about it.

    I got my start betting NBA player props when I was heavily involved in fantasy hoops (it was actually the old Sporting News Rotisserie NBA contest from around the beginning of the internet... damn I feel old now). The props were so soft back then that they required zero research or a quick glance a player's game log. I then expanded to NFL player props and they were just as off. TheGreek would open props at -115 and the good ones would be in the range of -180 to -240 in under 60 seconds. :)

    Nice! I guess that's where I am at now too. I have so many fantasy and dfs top notch proj sources that I branched it out to prop bets, but it is definitely some effort and time as you stated above! I only do 20% edges too, so sometimes 1 a night, sometimes 0, sometimes 3-4.

    I have no doubt props are still quite beatable. Just as a comparison, on a busy NBA card back in the day, I would probably have 20 props... and NFL Sundays were nuts. Even nowadays I'll have a long NFL list in certain weeks but my personal edge (which I have never bothered calculating) is nowhere near what it used to be. Limits are low and I still win so I just fire away but the bigger markets I bet are of course what will make or break my year.

    Continued success.
