    Most of the information you need is already contained in the line. A lot of the time if a line looks easy and you see everyone on this board on the "easy" side, typically just play the other side, if you like it.

    This board always uses the term "public" like it doesn't include them. LOL. This board is as public as it gets.

    People that can actually do this for a living don't post here.

    Vegas wants split action but there are also times when Vegas is decidedly on one side. More time than not, Vegas wins.

    He probably read conquer risk and thinks he's now a bonafide modeler. Let me know how great props are when you actually get limited until then, enjoy cloud 9.

    The guy understands the markets and the industry better than just about anyone.

    Learn from him, and don't try to go toe-to-toe. You will lose.
