Has anyone bothered to track their lines? I means one of you guys has to be spreadsheet genises, it can be all that hard to track their numbers.
I do it on a day by day basis when I look through tip-ex after the fact and compare and contrats. It isn't a long term thing, but a dayby day check.
I basically see they get some right, they get some wwrong. Are the ones they get right the "big action" games? No one knows for sure except them.
Anyone can do it. Anyone that has an odds tracker site can go back and see when and where the lines moved during the day.
I don't keep track, because I really don't care. But obviously some people do. So if you have the ambition and the knowledge, I suggest Tip-ex. com and start a running record of when and how much lines move, and if the moves at Pin were before or after, another book, and if the move was "correct" or "incorrect" and if the move was made by steam or a steady stream of action. The last one is a little more subjecttive. But if a number jumps 10 cents that is more than likely steam, but if it moves 10 cents over a period of an hour or two that usually means stady action.
You also might find it interesting that in about 65% of the "steam" case the number actually fall BELOW the original number. For example say the number was -125 at 10 AM, at 10:20 it is -134, usually by game time it would get back to -122. Not always, but about 65% of the time in my estimation. Again I don't keep records, I just know it is more than half the time.
