    Here's how someone by the name of squeekycleen more eloquently put it on another site though:

    Square plays are obvious plays that "can't lose". They are the plays that your butt buddy at the watercooler is touting. They are the plays stupid drunk guys fawn over at the bars. They are the plays you come up with after watching ESPN and GameDay for your inside info. When someone says "Dude, the Lakers are only laying 2 to the Pistons, holy shit dude, they have Kobe, this is a ****ing LOCKKKKKKK", you can rest assured they are a Joe Public square hunting down square plays. Square plays, in the long run, are hazardous to your health. When the majority of action heads to one side (in terms of number of wagers, not total dollar value wagered), you have the makings of a square play. If gambling was so easy that when everybody who picked something won, we would all be millionaires. I try to search out square plays and fade them. This takes some practice, and you have to know how to look for them, but it is not very hard.

    I usually spend a little time every day at thespread.com (the betting charts).

    Please note though, that it's been a pretty bad hoops season for me, so please take this all with a grain of salt.

    And, illusion, sorry to muck up your thread with all this chatter.


    ok so i went to that site to look at the betting trends.

    one game for example that everyone seems to be on is southern alabama. it shows 82% of the public on s bama, yet the line is moving the other way. s bama opened at -3.5 and is now -2.5.

    are you saying to bet north texas because s bama is the "square bet"?
