No job yet, but think I'm about travelled out for the year and now that I am trying to get in shape may start looking to do something in September as a part-time gig.

I know what you mean GD...I will be going home (CR) tomorrow and maybe start to work again come football season...these last 5 months have been a blast...yesterday saw the Beach Boys and Three Dog Night...the Beach Boys was a free concert and ONLY 50,000 people showed up on the Atlantic City Beach...I e-mailed Wapner and told him to lock up all the women at the Rey, I am coming home!!
Ice, how do you differentiate between steam and public moves? Is it just that steam is where every book moves at once very quickly while the late public moves move slower and books move their numbers one at a time?
I have done quite well just betting with the late moves in CBB starting at about 6pm EST until the 8pm EST games go off. Don't know if it's sharps or public moving those numbers but betting with the moves at sleepy books has been good to me.
not a complete science or even close for that matter but something I do a few times a week on sides. Basically if a favorite goes up enough less than 30 minutes before the game starts and is hitting numbers that havent been seen all day (getting higher and higher) than i will play the dog. Like I said I dont do it a lot but it is something I am adding to what I do and to be truthful I am not sure I have won becasue of it.
For example if a game opens -120 and at 6:30pm est the line is at -130 and starts to rise to -140 and higher, I will not be jumping on the favorite but waiting till just minutes before start time and hope to find a book (usually a sharper book) who has a +135 or so up. Something like that. Betting -132 or so in the above example is not good (IMO). Following late steam and missing out on good numbers is a long term losing bet so I am more or less doing the opposite of what I already do. Trying to bet numbers at their apex, like MR.J was saying earlier is what I am looking to do and like I said this isnt very mant times at all thru the week.
Yeah, I've done that a few times as well. I believe one of them was getting Buffalo +14.5 against Dallas on Monday night last year when the public kept hammering the line up on Dallas.
Like you said, I never take a bad number. It's just I normally bet with the moves at a square book (mainly now I just bet CBB totals).
It's the sharps that move the lines up and down...any book that moves numbers on squares will not last very long...sharp might make some limit bets in the morning and really pound the other side later in the day...sharps follow sharps all day long, and then the really wise guys pound the number where they want it to go....weather withstanding....
They will often overlap as a square book will often offer a number that was never available at a place like pinny. But yes, it can also often mean making opposite bets (your example was good).
Which is awesome, because even less people can do that then be bothered to bet off numbers at square books
.They may be the origin of the move, but I can't believe that they're responsible for the majority of the movement. A true sharp wouldn't be taking a sub-par price, so most of the movement would be caused by hedgers and those chasing steam. The movement would be marginal if the hedgers and steam-chasers didn't jump on. This doesn't mean that the slower bettors won't be profitable, but I certainly wouldn't consider them sharp, at least not in this situation.
