    Speedy -- do you think there's any reason to take the Pistons -5.5 now as opposed to waiting until tomorrow? My thinking is, if this is truly a trap bet for the public to take the Warriors then I might get stuck with it at -6 or -6.5 tomorrow.. lemme know what you think, thanks bro.

    For me, I always wait till last minute possible. Not literally, but figuratively. Meaning, I'll probably take the bet an hour or so before the game just in case there is more "telling" line movement.

    My guess is that it won't go up anymore. It already went up from -4.5 to -5.5. Anything more than a full point would be a bit "obvious." For most of these games that have had RLM this year, the most line movement i've seen has been 1 point. So I don't think you need to worry about it moving up to 6. But even if it does, I'd feel safe with it. Why would Vegas set up a line that will likely fail for them? If the line randomly went up to 7, I'd put my faith in the bookies, and still take Detroit.

    But Detroit looks like a great play tomorrow, especially with the small card. Just a couple of days ago I made a thread stating Det +3.5 @ CHA was a great play for the same reason, fishy line with weird line movement.

    ^Yeah, I actually tailed you on that Pistons +3.5 play and cashed in nicely. I've wagered sporadically in small amounts for a few years and have done modestly well just based off of bball knowledge and stuff.. but I'm inexperienced when it comes to reading Vegas (stuff like RLM and timing my bets) so the intel I pick up from guys like you, PR9, LTA, BettingWizard, etc. etc. is much appreciated

    Isn't it funny that detroit had 2 fishy lines for their 2 consecutive wins vs Indy and Orlando.

    And now after the fishy line win over charlotte, they are receiving a consecutive fishy line yet again for the next game ? hmm.

    I guess the NBA and vegas likes to feed Detroit in two's.. ripping off the public in the process.

    Shit bro, it's easy greasy on how to read lines. Especially RLM. I can send you a PM on how to read it. Just let me know. I'm all about beating the books and helpin out other cappers on here as well.

    And PR, yeah I think the books are just going to keep trickin the dummies with Detroit because most people think they are such a crap team. I mean don't get me wrong, the Pistons are a BAD team, but the bad teams have to get their wins somehow. Who better than GS at home coming off a b2b.

    Let's not forget that there was a big news story out of detroit that circulated on every major news outlet how they're receiving their lowest attendance of the past 15+ years. It broke just a few days ago.

    This is their first home game since that breaking story.. and after a win

    All In know is the NBA absolutely despises such stories about negative attendance in their league. In the past I've seen the home team win, and convincingly, after such events

    (just to add another element to this)

    I've noticed attendance is down a lot of places. Its too bad because those Detroit fans were spoiled for so long when Billups/Rip/Ben Wallace/Rasheed Wallace were all in their prime. Man I loved how they kicked the Lakers @ss that one year in the finals when they had old man Malone and Gary Payton.

    ^Yeah bro that would be cool. I'm willing to share scouting-related insight on teams/players as well FWIW.. although you seem to have a pretty good handle on that already

    Yeah i have no opinion on totals because I suck at those. Go to LTA or someone else for advice on that. But if I had a lean, I'd probably say under just because I doubt Utah can mustard up more than 90 points after playing today. And yes I can read RLM (not sure if your asking me if I can read RLM, or if I can tell YOU how to read RLM)

    RLM:

    Example: Lakers @ Warriors
    Opening line: Lakers -5

    Majority of public on Lakers and it goes to -4 (reverse) instead of going to -6; which it should since they're taking a ton of Laker bets.

    i am for detroit as well and agree to the comments above but only thing i fear is that it might be a deeper trap for bettors like us. Sometimes public gets very easy games like we do time to time. I didn't bet on gsw@cha because of that feeling although it went wrong.

    This is what America needs to written on the dollar

    I really do not understand why you think the line is weird.with how they look, obviously they would not be favorites in the road,also they in B2B so what line you expect..

    But one thing I really do not understand,why the line jumped up when 75% of bets on Golden..

    ******* David Stern..why only 3 games and tomorrow 11

    I got Detroit at -4.5.

    Detroit absolutely own Warriors, and especially with Warriors on a B2B on the road.

    Warriors are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 on the road to Detroit, and Detroit are 15-1 SU at home to them.

    RLM is a great tool, but it cannot be followed blindly to success. Much like any other angle, you have to use in conjunction with other factors. There was "RLM" on New Jersey yesterday, but they got smoked.

    Blindly following RLM has proven to be no better than a 50/50 proposition. For every Detroit v. Charlotte winner with RLM on Detroit, you will have a NJ v Utah loser like last night where there was RLM on NJ.

    In addition, one of the biggest problems with RLM is that you are invariably betting into stale lines and getting bad numbers at bad prices (especially in baseball where ML plays are so important). For example, let's look at this hypo relating to today's Detroit/GS game. If you bet into Detroit at -6 because of the steam on Detroit from -4.5 and the game ends with a Detroit win by 5 points, then all the sharps that caused the steam cash at -4.5, but the RLM followers who jumped on -6, will lose.

    I always say it's better to be ahead of the RLM steam by trying to predict and calculate the factors that cause RLM. What are the sharps and syndicates seeing that causes RLM. Once you know when and where the RLM will hit, you will be ahead of the steam and will be killing the books. If you just blindly follow RLM and continually bet into bad numbers, you will lose money over a large sample size (e.g. 500-1,000).

    We should start tracking what the common denominator is between winning RLM plays and losing RLM plays. That would be an awesome project.
