Can someone please tell me, why, if the websites that attempt to tell us which team has which percentage of money or bets on them, why is it that the spread is going in their favor? It's happening on almost 75% of the NBA games tonight. Makes no sense. My theory is that these websites are bullshit and they have no idea where the true money is. The only true way to know where the money is is by taking the bets yourself (or your friend, buddy, etc).

actually, JBL, its pretty simple...i've mentioned it before but if you see an overwhelming fav (as in 80% or higher) getting that much $$$$ and the line goes down on them (say the fav getting 80% or higher of the $$$ openend at -3 and is now at -2) then 9 out of 10 times its a safe bet to go the other way...usually the books are tempting more money and the sharps (usually a deadly combo) have come in and laid a hefty amount to bring that total down.....its called a buy-order which leads to some serious steam.....now lets say that fav getting all that public love opens at 3 and goes up to 4 or 5, the books know they're gonna get hammered and want action on the dog to try and put some mascara on the beating the are gonna be getting...hope that helps a lil...

along with the bracket buster games, you have a lot of revenge games and teams positioning for the tournaments (conf and big dance)...its always interesting for the last 2 weeks of the regular season.....like i said earlier their are a lot of good games that i've been following the $$$ (and line movements) that are looking nice....stars aligning almost the way u would want them to.....


Who are you looking at tomorrow crimpride? I'm just now starting to look at lines.

go back and look at the numbers my friend, teams that get bet by 80% + are basically 50/50. best winning % in these games are home faves. factoring the line changes has yielded a short term trend that has started to come back within the norm the past few days. you say 9 of 10. i say maybe 5.5 of 10 at best.

good point...but as u say "in the short term".....over the long run its not even 50-50...i agree with u as far as the home faves.....but ir-regardless of that, when the line goes down on the team getting that $$$$ its waaaaaaay better than 50-50...

playing trends just as good as any other strategy. wasn't trying to knock yours, just a reflex from seeing 9 out of 10 winners. got my own system that's very similar to what you mentioned but it gives me more outs with only about a 58-60% success rate so far. basically an attempt to measure when one trend goes to shit, where's the one that's coming as a result? best of luck, most likely we will be looking at some of the same games tomorrow.

its good to talk with someone who uses the analytical approach like i do.....an example has unfolded tonite already...Cornell for example was getting nearly 80% of $$$ (78% according to sportsbookspy.com) and line opened at 6 and went to 4.5 at tip off (5 at some places)..result? they lose outright.....another scenario that could also unfold like that is Denver getting 78% of money and line opened at 2.5 and was bet to 1.5 at tip-off...on top of that the whole world was on them......

an example where they fit into yours and not mine. my book showed 76% just before tip which would have left it a no-play for me but i followed kelso because i had no plays in my bag. RF's in my system either = a play or no play. no good fade spot has emerged. i am still shocked at how little the public backs home dawgs at 60% +.
