    Interesting.

    But I prefer fading the public during the regular season.

    It was 3 1/2 and moved to 4, still 3 1/2 at some places and people are on Pats at that # I do believe. I was thinking of it myself actually as Jacksonville is leaving a lot people at home. May just play some points on it

    Where are you getting your public % from? I am showing 57% of bets on the SEA Over from one of the best paid line services. Also none of those plays are over 60%....66% are on the Over in the Ari game...62% are on the Under in the Dal game...and 60% are on Balt. Those are the only 3 games with over 60%

    My numbers went 2-1. From your numbers it went 1-3. I'm not playing this but for fun I'll keep track of fading the public. Games that qualify will be 60% or greater on one side of the spread or total.

    I would be careful what service you are using for watching % of bets placed. All the free sites use their numbers from contests etc and if you are using a sports books numbers it only includes their numbers which could be way off from the general consensus if it is a very public book vs a very sharp book. The only two line services I would trust are Don Best and Sports Options and they both include numerous books including all the big ones.

    I like to think sportsbook.com users aren't very sharp and seem to follow the crowd in certain sports and situations. I understand what your saying though , theres no way to know what the percentages there mean without number of bets placed , etc. Just curious to see how it plays out for preseason

    This method of betting should have done better in regular season, not the preseason. I prefer we looking for the team that lost the first game, play second game to kick a win, or the third game to grab it.

    This pre is all messed up due to the timeline, think you've done pretty well considering. And I think you're right on the o/u tonight.

    But I'm not touching anything until reg kicks in, maybe 2nd/3rd game.
