Now I was unaware of any injuries if there were any and didn't look in depth, but the way I look at it is Vegas is pretty spot on w/ setting a #. The other night Chicago pushed at 4, Miami covered by 1.5 and Portland by 1 if you go by opening #'s...3 gms and off by 2.5 pts? The boys and girls (he-he, that's for you) are smart mo-fos. However, when the public (or sharps) move a line in a specific direction (7.5 pts is what I saw), I automatically go the opposite way, regardless of any previous thoughts I've had. I wish I could go back and chart my progress, but I will confidently say I hit 65-70% of my plays when this type of situation arises. Unfortunatly, lines don't move 4-5-6 pts very often....I see it as Vegas is smart enough to set it at 187 (it landed on 186, smart chicks in those rooms) and I'm getting 7 free pts to play with???.....This happens in football quite a bit as well, with most plays going to the under when making a play because of the obsession with overs in football..game opens at 44.5, public bets it to 47.5 or 48 (see sunday and monday night gms), I play the under and we have 24-21 final and I win...I was even more confident in my play when a fellow degenerate of mine text me the same under play, as he and I have had this discussion many times and agree on our philosophy...(he text me cuz he don't "know" my local, so I text in his plays)...thanks for the read it was interesting and thanks for reading my babble...Good Luck tonight

It tells me the initial action came in on the Bulls, but maybe that's too extreme thinking for you?

("Line movement doesn't tell you shit." What an ignorant comment.)
