were the upper echelon of gambling. I thought everybody wondered who the "sharps" were going with??? Supposedly they brought the line down two points??? This just shows, the sharps don't know any more than you or I do! They just bet more money than we do! They don't win anymore than we do, they don't lose anymore than we do. We're all in this the same. The "sharps" doesn't know any more than we do.

You got lucky Haliburton went down Pacers were gonna be up 10 pts+ at halftime and wouldn’t have crumbled in the 3rd Pacers would have won with Haliburton healthy
We’ll never know if that’s true or not.

OR....pretty sure okc slowed down first half so you would think pacers have a good chance since they were up at halftime. Then comes in more money on pacers 2nd half

No, they actually don't! People think they do, but they don't. They don't know anymore than you or I? They lose just as often as we do. The only difference is? They have more money.

"Foolish theory"? I don't believe it! Because I know for a fact sharps don't know any more than you or I do. Because no one does! Not one person who has ever gambled since the beginning of gambling around 1700 does anyone know more than anyone else does. Well, besides the person who's getting paid to throw a game, points or whatever. They know, but no one else does, including "sharps". I laugh every time someone mentions a "sharp move" in gambling. Because it doesn't mean a damn thing! So yes, it is foolish theory and I laugh every time when I hear "sharp move". It's hilarious

Problem is that the term is thrown around too much. If I heard it from you I’d laugh in your face. Different story if the information came from a large scale sportsbook.

Why your ignorant comment towards me??? All I'm doing is stating the fact that "sharps" don't know anymore about gambling than you or I do? Watch this! Google, "What changed the NBA line in game 7". It says, and I quote. "Multiple sports books reported they were taking bets from "sharps" on Indiana + 8 so they adjusted the line brought it down to + 7. I laugh every time I hear someone talk about "sharps". They lose just as often as you and I do. Don't get mad at me, I didn't post it.

Hey dumbass, it WAS reported by multiple sports books. Laugh all you want to. I don't care. I laugh at all these idiots on covers who actually think "sharps" know more than we do??? Every time I hear someone mention a sharp has money a certain way, I go the opposite way.

The only "sharps" in sports betting are the books. Sad fact, but true. Books will always have the better statistical info and the better means by which to process it. You are deceiving yourself if you believe otherwise. Not only do the books have the best info, they also have the power to adjust the spread to their advantage. Every sports bettor needs to understand this; however, most ignore it. The urge for action is too addictive for most.
Think about this---what sensible poker player would play a hand knowing he/she is a 10% dog every time? Not many, certainly not many winners. That's what sports bettors do every time they place a bet. Here's another sad truth--the books could pay the bettor 10% for a winner and most would still be losers. That's how hard it is to beat sports betting.
John Sterling, the long time Yankees announcer said it best--"And people bet on this stuff...anybody who tries to predict a baseball game has to be crazy." He should know;he's seen enough of them.

No I'm not a Sharp. And it's very clear that there aren't any "sharps" in the world of gambling. And that's proven just about every day. Hell, it was proven last night

I'll be honest, not like most people on here. I will tell you the ONLY bet I had during the NBA finals. When the series was tied 2-2. I put 1k ( -220), to win 454 on OKC series. That's it, that's all I had. I'm not a degenerate. I don't need action everyday. And that was pretty sharp to me!

How is that pretty sharp of you? At -220 you almost got mauled if it wasn't for a lucky injury against the opposing teams best player. You paid -220 and should have lost lol
