    If you want to make MONEY look at this thread
    I recently posted a thread titled "I think im on to something" ... basically it addresses the value in using line movement to pick winning sides. It wasnt until i posted this thread and received feedback that i even considered looking at TOTALS (over/unders) to see how this theory can be translated... well, the results are shocking, but true as you can verify yourself using SBRodds.com --> click SCOREBOARD and review the past weeks of college football totals.

    I researched the last 3 weeks of all college football games and looked at the O/U for every game (NO FILTERS). If the O/U shifted 2 (TWO) points or MORE in either direction from OPEN to CLOSE then the game qualifies... The results posted below are legit... do not waste anyone's time bashing b/c you can easily gotto SBRODDS.com yourself and look at the data... it takes 10 minutes to check all the games this season.


    TOTAL RECORD FROM WEEKS 4, 5, and 6:

              ur right... these are the ones that have already moved. i think the best way to play this is to bet them right before kickoff to ensure a 2pt minimum shift has occurred from OPEN to CLOSE

                Let me see if I got it correctly. So, if the line move down by 2+ pts from opening to closing before kick off then Under is the play, and vice versa for Over. Thanks for clarification.

                  no, to clarify... you bet whichever way it has moved 2 pts... so for example, TEAMx/TEAMy
                  OPEN: O/U 56
                  CLOSE: O/U 59.5
                  Bet OVER 59.5

                  OR

                  TEAMa/TEAMb
                  OPEN: O/U 42
                  CLOSE: O/U 39
                  Bet UNDER 39

                    I sometimes use something like this for the NFL. IF a team moves 2 points within 2 hours before game time, i actually go the other way. Lots of times bookies like to let the public load up on the favorite, and it's better to just take the bookies side on it.

                      i understand ur logic there, but i think this differs b/c it deals with the total and not the side

                        It appears that, from looking at sbr odds, going the opposite of the O/U movement is they way to go with the NFL O/U also...

                          Another example was the Falcons/49ers game last Sunday. On Sunday morning the line was 49ers -3. Within 30 min before gametime the line dropped to 49ers -1. The 9ers lost by 30

                            what if line goes from 56 over to let say 61? you still play over ? is there a limit ?

                              id still take the over yes... if you look at the historical data... the games more often then not cover the O/U by a significant amount if it has shifted by THAT much (5pts)

                                  one of the main poitns behind this is that you must play ALL of the games... or at least a large majority... if you do, it seems as though the odds are in your favor to hit at least 60% over all

                                              yes, it works and it will work. pull the trigger. just make sure if you're going to do it that you bet AT least 75% of the games... i suggest betting ALL of them, EQUALLY. good luck

                                                    cakas, absolutely love your stuff. thank you, and my own experience is that NCAAF O/U is outrageously soft (like basically no one cares if it's wrong, or fairly close to that)...... can you though differentiate opening line, 2 point move line and closing line? or at very least , whether that great record you mentioned is based on the opening line?

                                                    a little torn on the 5 point O/U moves, like some others......... generally though have no problems going with the flow.

                                                      Great thread! You're absolutely right, you have to play every game, if you try to pick and choose then your own bias comes into play.

                                                      Trust the system.

                                                        which book are you using for the line movements? say bodog shows a 2 point movement but bookmaker shows 1.5... what to you do?

                                                        you should test this system on last years games during this time (week 7 or so)

                                                            I will say that i used to use a similar system as this when i played with my local. he would use the line from the newspaper and i would play every o/u that moved more than 3 points. I went back and looked at my spreadsheets and i hit around 65% every year doing this. I always tried to middle each of these as well and the funny thing is that I only hit a few of them each year meaning that they usually didn't come close to the opening or closing line.
