Stayed home from work today..Wasnt feeling well...decided to do some back testing on the system..At the risk of bad mouthing someone that may or may not be a sponser here, i think some may find what i noticed interesting...
Im not sure how many of you use Vegas insider for info on lines and such but i must warn you to tread very lightly with that site...
The system i use has many variables...for a play to actually become a play for me it must pass at least 6 of 11 criteria points to become a play. One very important criteria...( certainly not a deal breaker but I prefer it) is that there is line movement, no matter how slight, in favor of the play in question...Up until a week or so ago I've been using sportsinsights exclusively.....for lazy reasons i switched to vegas insider. on occasion..( a few crucial variables are all found on one page)... To get straight to the point ... They post FALSE info...Specifically opening lines that are nothing but false
For instance:
Wright ST. opened up at +21.5 last night....The line moved on average to 23.5....suggesting the public, who were on Xaiver, were putting their money in the right place...
Vegas insider posted 23.5 as an opener and that the current line was 21.5...suggesting fairly signifigant RLM
Today I looked at VI's site and all pages with such information show the correct postings, however, I print out Specific pages on their site so i can do other things and still have the info handy...all of the pages i have show their incorrect opening lines...Its not just the opening lines either...as i look back at the nights that i used VI to insert my variables i see that , with noticeable regularity, betting trends on that site DO NOT correlate with others in kind...
As this is just a few examples of many from just yesterday ....it would seem that they have a vested interest in someone capping incorrectly using their site...
Over the last few days i re-ran my system and many of my posted plays would not of even made it passed step 3,4,5 ect.
Wondering if anyone else has noticed that this site is bogus??
I usually have quite a few plays on Sat. as can be expected...even on Thur... but I noticed that many of the plays that hit the paper after the first 2 steps were not being eliminated...I'm an idiot for not investigating my number of plays on a Tue. but certainly having the wrong info doomed me. I'm not suggesting that I'm not to blame for poor capping...( Using many reference points is not only reccomended...IMHO its mandatory...I'm getting a little lazy in my old age..
I only post this to warn others about this site....its OK to check scores or times but i will never again use them for pertinent information
OK....im done boring you all... will have a few plays tonight....hopefully they will come from a more "well-informed" place
