The line for Miami +1.5 was at -125. Now its at -140. Did anyone notice this huge movement as well? Are people betting miami?

I noticed this as well. I'll be the first to say that line movements are not the be-all and end-all to making a play. However, this type of movement, with 80 percent or so of the public on Atl, makes you wonder.
It's still a game I'm just going to watch from the sidelines.
BOL to the fish backers. I suspect their bp will give it away and Atl squeaks out a win.Last edited by EVPlus; 08-01-12 at 06:05 PM. Reason: typo

One more thing: it could be the scalpers selling their position.

what do you mean scalpers? but its quite odd with the public 80-90% atlanta. and then line moves this much before game time? Like i been watching this line all day just as i WATCHED the Milawakee runline cash today...maybe this is a set up too good to be tru...
look at the runline its +120...
the day the runline was -125 wtf?

They bought Atl last night at the opener of -178. When the line moved to -200 or so at most offshores, they went the other way.

No - just to guarantee a small profit at zero risk. Originally Posted by justwin52

of course. same thing in san diego dude look at that game 2 0? top of first inning? and how many people had atlanta under today?

Maybe. Or they knew the public would pound Atl as the market matures and they can buy low/sell high. Originally Posted by justwin52

Gotta run and cap tonight's card. If you do a search engine query for scalping in sports betting, you should find some informative stuff. Just know most books frown on that behaviour. Originally Posted by justwin52
