If this system starts to work in gonna start looking at the refs who were reffing those games

I feel ya man. But the thing is the patterns are constantly changing. You can spot trends at times that will last for a bit that you can ride, but they always break at some point. Usually on Saturdays I'll write down a bunch of picks I like quickly just looking at the spread and go back and look over them all and reverse pick them. Meaning I would go the opposite of what I wrote down. Yesterday was a good day to take Seton Hall coming off 2 losses and becoming un-ranked. They have a really good squad that's been playing poorly.

I don't care to. I have a way I like to bet and it works for me. You're so smart but yet, you've been losing your behind here lately. Friday you were what like 2-5 compared to my 5-1-1. If you don't like or agree with what we're talking about I don't know why you stay stuck in this thread. With NBA totals, Friday and Saturday several totals went under so I had a feeling Sunday a lot of overs would hit and I was right.

If you're lookin for RLM, look at  E TENN VS CITADEL.  71 percent on E Tenn at -19. Line is -16 now

Yes, I like Citadel to cover as well. My plays for right now are Citadel to cover, Northwestern to cover and Wofford to cover. Might add over on Duke and Fairfield to cover.

Yeah. East ten, wofford, and northwestern all look weird. I have to stick with 80% system tho so raking west Carolina off my pick list because its down to 76%. Still gonna watch out for that game and not bet wofford even tho I want to lol

Ya the fishy line trick works more times than not. ETSU opened at 19 and now down to 15.5 on my book with most money on ETS. Michigan opened at 9 and now down to 7.5 even though people were hammering Michigan early on. I might take off Northwestern now as people seem to be playing them. I really like Citadel and Wofford alot.

I'm thinking about fading UNCG and taking Chatanooga too. That line looks fishy and Chatanooga is pretty bad.

Didn't that open at 5? 7.5 is a leap throughout the day.

I'm showing it opened at 6, but UNCG is being heavily bet. I like the value for the dog at 7.5.

Just a tip..The line movement will have more to do with the amount of money bet on a side rather than the percentage of bets on a side. They are two very different ideas. 80% of bets could be on a team but 60% of the money on the other side. I think that is the part of the equation you are missing.

THATS NOT POSSIBLE, and it's never happened in the history of Earth

No book on in this world would ever lower the number on the favorite that's getting more than 50% of the action ... don't you know how they make money?

Cmon man...ru kidding? 

 You're working off of fraudulent numbers

He doesn't get it... he thinks water flows uphill... he said most of the money was on ETSU yet the book still lowerd the numbere by four points... that would be an instant firing if a manager at a book accidentally did that...

Seriously... you two need to take about 15 minutes and learn the ABCs and one two threes of bookmaking. You shouldn't be making a bet if you don't have a basic level of knowledge of how this all works... you're saying the absolute dumbest things ever , and you're embarrassing yourselves..
 
Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to educate yourselves

You're so educated and you've hit about what 25% of your bets over the last few days? I'm not going to read a book to place a wager, sorry. Citadel was an official play for me as stated. If they hold up, every other Joe on covers was liking ETSU. So ya.

My theory is that vegas bets big numbers to keep spreads down to where the public will keep betting on them. Thats why when it says 80% of public is betting on wofford small groups of people are placing a lot mlre money on West carolina making me think something is wrong with it. Same with etsu uofm tonigbt. Less with the uofm game as that's closer to 60% on Michigan. Which I don't think is as fishy, but still something to look at

Ok..thats enough.. I tried... you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink..
