I want to hear and learn from you all. What kind of things are you doing to gain more clarity on your plays ?
A simple thing that I do is to make my pre picks and take a screen shot of them. Closer to game time I check the lines and the public consensus and games I picked pre that have a better line I will play. After the game, I make some small notes.
value is key betting into a # just because your getting a point extra from what the line was 5 hours previous doesn't mean squat.
You must create your own spread and compare that with line to find the value, really that's the only way to go. Consesus # and $ # s don't really mean a lot either
