"Line shopping can't make THAT much difference, right?"‍

I ran a Monte Carlo simulation of 1,000 bets to prove what happens when you take "good enough" odds instead of the best available line. The results were brutal: Best Book made +21.78 units while "Your Odds" LOST -25.93 units. Taking suboptimal odds didn't just reduce profits - it turned a winning strategy into a losing one. This guide breaks down exactly why line shopping is non-negotiable, what happens when you settle for 5-20% worse odds, and how to execute Value Finder opportunities correctly. Line shopping isn't about getting rich - it's about not going broke.
