Hoosier, Thanks for sharing your knowledge in this subject. Always wondered how to interpret line moves and it's comparison from book to book. I've read this entire thread and have to admit that it was a bit confusing at first, but I do believe I understand now. I'll be taking a closer look at the lines using the rules that you've given. I won't be wagering on these principles until I feel like I've got the hang of it though.
One question for you, and hopefully I haven't overlooked a previous post where you might have already answered.... As you look at an upcoming card, do you cap the games first and then wait to see line movement or do you let the line movement dictate if you're going to get involved with a game or not?
Thanks Again

I get the feeling that hoosier's original intent was to merely educate the masses on how "HE" interprets line differences and how to capitalize on arbitrage opportunities. Not sure he was trying to turn this into another "SYSTEM" thread. So in essence this should only supplement what you already do when capping out a game but not be the sole basis of making a selection. I could be wrong, but that's my take on it. I will continue to cap the games as I normally do and if I like a particular side, then I'll check to see what the lines are doing with that particular game. I'm intrigued nevertheless and will be lurking for further analysis.
i guess thats where the confusion is.... all depends if his intent was to base it off the opening line to when it changed over or the previous line.... if its opening line to dime line the Redsox would be the play... if its the previous to dime line, then ur right the rangers would be a play.... thats prolly something that needs to be cleared up.... is it opening line to dime, or previous nickel to dime??
Good point Tunit
I am pretty sure cuz if you look at his example it starts at a 5 dime line where by the way you look at it on 5dimes it starts at a 10 dime line changed to 5 then back to 10. No problem man, this is how we help each other out. But I am not playing any right now just looking to track them.
I read through this again and think i got it figured out and can fix funny and tunits confusion. I messed up earlier this morning, tunit made me look at it again.
Rule #3 is to watch the 5dimes line and how it changes from when it opens as a nickel line, to how it opens as a dime line.
So if you look at the opening 5 dime line for Tex/Bos
06/04 10:06PM: +129 / -134
Now look at the line when it goes back to reopen at a dime line.
06/05 07:18AM: +126 / -136
Tex moved 3 and Bos moved 2. Tex is the side according to this method.
There were better moves last night than this one, I wouldn't probably use this towards making a play on that game. waidosas pointed out one of the best ones Tor. I see the best ones as
Tor +136 to +129
Nym +117 to +112
Phil +129 to +124
Laa +110 to +105
Bal +110 to +105
And tunit I see the move towards Min 4 and Sea 2
Hope I got it right and that helps you guys

You know what you are right. It is right when it changes from a 10 to a 5 dime line, so the opening of the 5 dime line rather then the way I was looking at it as the line right before it goes back to a 10 line. Great work. And our times are off 2 hours since I am on the Pacific time zone.
