    Can anyone explain this week's line movement?

    Reverse line movement on STL both days, Milwaukee, Boston, Florida, Houston, Toronto..

    What is going on here? Is Lakerboy in the building? It just doesn't make sense how the public has won pretty much every play in the past 2 days with the lines moving in the other direction. To me, at least.

    only the right public squares, you know yanks, Cards, Braves (after they got killed in sd, i was against them in sd and early in sea series till i noticed the sweep comin but that was a huge public loser on sea and under against Felix, i couldnt even talk my boy off them) Chisox mainly cause Col is not that good of a team. Good teams that "value" bettors bet against driving line down to sweet prices on better teams. Being sharp is great but if you only making "sharp" rlm ect plays you gonna be up and down and 50/50.

    Mentioned yesterday wait for stl to get bet down by ppl liking balty as a home dog, dont ask me what they liked but i was happy to get good prices.

    LOts of bad public bets lost. Tor a few times, Oak (WHo the **** pays -150 for oak) tex and bos have hurt ppl some days the last week or so. Bunch of day public gms got killed yesterday, It a mix. ppl had to get killed 2 days on Det before finally winning today at crazy ass juice. Sea gm 3 wa prob a slaugher i was at work all day with braves only because of that.

    I mean you gotta understand just cause a line goes against some bs percentage doesnt mean it is a automatic play, it is a tool and nothing more, it takes a lot of tools to get the job done. imho

    reverse line movement is 50-50 in the long run and shouldn't be the whole basis of picking up games. It will bury you more than win you.

    I beg to differ if you read it right.

    So will the public reverse line movement plays hit again? (Yanks, Phillies, Boston)

    Looks like the books are moving the lines right now to get the money on both sides of games.

    I tried to ignore the reverse line movement in the Astros game last night and that f**ked me.



    I like the Mets here. Yankees have a tendency to not get up and play. We'll see

    Chaz, Niese has been great and Mets have been hitting well. Nova gets a lot of run support but on the road today I'm not quite sure that will be the case.

    There was no RLM in the Phillies/Blue Jays game. Opened +136/-145 and closed +136/-144. Most of the action after limits were raised came in on the Phillies.

    Placing bets on RLM after the price settles is about as -EV as it gets. You'd be better off having your dog pick the game.
