How to compare odds in a live for both online and retail betting state
Line shopping works the same in West Virginia as anywhere: pull up the same player prop on each licensed book and take the best number. West Virginia's setup (West Virginia Lottery Commission) determines which books are even in play, so start with the licensed roster: DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, Fanatics and ESPN BET.
The catch is speed. Lines move fast, and by the time you have tabbed through four apps the number you wanted is gone. A live comparison board that shows every book's current price in one view closes that gap.
