    Sorry question for you guys I'm new to this.

    How do you guys know who the sharps are on? I see people refer to this but have no idea how they would know.

    listen to the herd, reverse line movement, plus a lot of rhetoric.

    Can you give an example? Like if the line opens at -7 goes up to -8 during the week and then drops back down to -7 on the day of then the sharps would be on +7 right?

    No sharps would be on +7.5/8.
