That happened with Seattle over 41 last week. The game was bet up to 43, only to have it bought back under 43 right before game time. You're correct with your selections above, but I'll bet you that you got the games after they had started. I'm not criticizing you or being a know-it-all; I am just saying to track on a daily basis your wiseguy plays and see how they turn out. Then wait for some of the reports from the websights or some other place that lets the public know (in hindsight) what the "sharps" played for the week that come out Saturday night or Sunday (for college), and Sunday night or Monday morning (for NFL). All of them, of course, after the fact. Simple logic dictates that if you were moving millions, the more people knew, the worse of a price you would get. Therefore, these selections are either manipulated or held close to the vest and not something that Joe Public is going to uncover. Try what I suggested. I hope I'm wrong, and I hope you pick nothing but winners, but proceed with caution.
