Default Scalping between B&M and online?

I'm wondering if this is a better combination than scalping between online books. I only imagine that this would work with the likes of Pinnacle or Sportsbook because they have the highest bet limits.

I tried google but didn't have much luck in finding a website that has live updates of lines straight from the Vegas casinos. Something like SBR Lines would be nice, but I'm doubtful that it exists. I just want something like that so that I can compare lines and see how feasible my idea is.

Now, because you actually have to be physically present to place the bet would it be possible to bring a laptop with wireless into the sportsbook and compare lines until you find one that you can scalp? (Hahaha, I doubt it.)

This still leaves 2 viable alternatives in my mind. The first is to get the wireless broadband for a laptop and leave it in your car so you can go into the book and check lines and make bets that way. I'm doubtful this is much better than actually being in the sportsbook with a laptop.

The last option is to have someone either at home or in a car with a laptop, not parked on casino property, or in range of the surveillance and a partner going into the sportsbooks looking for lines to scalp and talking back and forth on a cell phone.

One of the problems I can see is the lack of liquidity with the online books. If your bet wins online it is going to take a long time to get your money back out in cash to bet again, so this would require a very large bank roll to be able to make lots of bets in a timely fashion. The other problem is finding someone you can trust not to screw you out of lots of money. I'd want to be able to bet at least several thousand on each scalp and losing that would make for a bad day. The upside would be that I'd imagine you'd get some pretty sweet comps unless they banned you from the sportsbook.

How feasible are my ideas?
