USC/Colorado - A Good Test of RLM

[Love The Action]

RLM is generally defined as 60%+ of all bets on one side and the line moving one point or more in the other direction.

Some people swear by RLM and use it as their sole method of capping.

Others say it can be used profitably, but only in selective situations where other factors are present (my position as well).

I have read articles that say blindly tailing RLM will not get you the magic 52.5% to be profitable and other articles saying RLM hits at a whopping 59% (I still don't believe this as the article's source was sketchy).

Tonight we had USC move from -21.5 at the Pinny open to 20 right at close despite 80% on USC. I would say this poses a nice test of RLM.

Actually dropped all the way to +19.5 at The Greek right before kickoff

Colorado not looking good early on. That TD was pure luck. Have nothing at stake, however USC scores at will.

Another strong trend this season that keeps on cashing so far, I don't really play these but I do track them...Road favorites of 21 or more are 13-2 ATS this year. Although USC moved out of this territory by game time and so they don't technically qualify...they were close. I liked COL to cover though because this is the only game they care about and USC is in a perfect let down spot after last week and the next two weeks.

I don't see anyway Colorado stays in this one..SC -7.5 2H almost seems too easy

[southpaw74]

I have USC -10 2H?!?

I think RLM is great for underdogs from +3 to +7. Been betting this situation all year and been hitting big. I don't think it works as well for the bigger underdogs or favorites.

I have noticed this as well, still lose some, but in general very positive
