Reverse Line Movement

[TPowell]

Would Indiana/Purdue be RLM? I see 68% of the money on Purdue, but the line has dropped from -13 to -11.5. Another game is Virginia Tech dropped from -17.5 to -17 and 62% of the money is on them. The biggest of them all seems to be Tennessee/Vandy. Tennessee was a 3.5 point underdog and are now down to 3. Tennessee only has 23% of the money on them. I see a few more but I just wondered if I was right so far

Others:
UNLV (71%) line dropped from UNLV -13 to UNLV -10
East Carolina (78%) line dropped from ECU -7 to ECU -6.5
Michigan State (64%) line rose from MSU +14.5 to MSU +15.5
Texas Tech (70%) lines rose from Okla. -6 to Okla. -7
Washington (62%) line dropped from UW -8.5 to UW -6.5
Colorado State (72%) line dropped from CSU -2.5 to CSU -2

Yes you are thinking correctly, The Va Tech move is not considered enough of a move for a play at this time.

[TPowell]

so it needs to be at least a full point?

[smitch124]

well from 3.5 to 3 is a half point that is acceptable. Out there around 17 you really like to see a point and a half.

But overall, yes you want to see a point move in the reverse direction.

[TPowell]

so would you bet the team that the line is moving with or against? Like the Tennessee game, would I bet Tennessee?

Well I don't like seeing Vandy on that list, though I suspected it might be. But, honestly how can anyone put their money on Tenn.???

[xyzky]

T- Yes, you are understanding this correctly...Doesnt mean it will be the correct pick, but, it generally is correct more than it is wrong...

[TPowell]

yeah people should remember to only look at RLM on football though.

[smitch124]

so would you bet the team that the line is moving with or against? Like the Tennessee game, would I bet Tennessee?

Yes I would say Tennessee is a play at -3. Just be mindful of the price when going to and coming from 3. -3.5 at -110 is the same as -3 -127.

only football? LT said it works in every sports i thought

[madworld]

I agree

When I looked at the #'s early in the week, I thought this would be a good game to bet on. Now that I see the RLM, it is a no bet for me, because I couldn't put any $ on Tenn!

Mad,
Glad to see you are in agreement. The problem for me, I bet it early for 10 units expecting it to shoot to Vandy -6 or more. I still do not buy into the Tenn angle that they want to finish the season winning and etc. Vandy has a lot more to play for, including the respect of beating their in-state rival that has consitently beat up on them...GL with your weekend.

did LT say that? I know a lot of people have told me they lost betting the RLM on college b-ball lately. The reason is because the lines aren't out long enough IMO

I have made three NCAABB RLM bets this week and went 3-0. I know it's not a lot of games, but that's how it has worked out for me.
