What to take from Immediate NCAA Tourney Line Movement?

[Actionbrett]

I'll list some examples below courtesy of Bookmaker/Cris

Duke/Belmont Total opened at 8:40:17 at 135 and at 8:46:14 it was 137.5.

Kent State/UNLV Side opened at PK at 8:43:06 and at 8:43:48 it was at -1 and -2 at 9:57:39.

Is this a sign of higher rollers taking advantage of bad lines or bettors looking for a middle opportunity?

Duke-Belmont: don't know.

Kent St.-UNLV: The game is still damn near pick'em. That movement is close to meaningless. You want to see movement that matters look to the Wisconsin-CSF game.

In my estimation and numbers the Duke/Belmont Total was very low from the start and by the movement from the total other seemed to agree.

In Regards to Kent State, Id love to have them as a pick and those two points will be crucial.

Brett: I'd love to have CSF +13, I'd love to have Kent St. -110, and I'd love to have free money. In the cast of the Duke OU the game was reposted at 154.5 at CRIS. I'd say someone must have been capping the ou for a Duke-Belmont women's game. Mistakes happen.

I agree Wheell and i kinda thought the total was wrong in the Duke/Belmont game
