    Rarely, don't like being locked in for days. Too much can happen

    I make bets 5 min before kickoff......I try to get the best number on a side I like, and if I don't get it or the line moves the wrong way, I pass......

    Much better to lay off a bet than be locked in to a bad number from earlier in the week

    Fun to check the lines throughout the week though, and maybe place small bets if you like something a lot early

    MLD, the value of a bet can change at anytime, even after the game starts. Assume team A starting QB,lets call him Tom Brady, gets hurt on the first play of any given game, your bet on Team has lost a lot of its value.

    A lot of value found on openers, especially this early in the season.

    Betting openers is highly overrated unless you are an expert modeler and sharper than the books which is less than 1% of gamblers. It's better to wait and read the lines and what the books are thinking by certain moves. It's important to know the difference between books taking a stand on a certain side and a gambler/whale betting big moving the line.

    I bet the piss out of openers.

    If you don't, you're a dipsh*t.

    I realize this is harsh, but I feel its necessary to be honest on here.

    I bet openers in all sports. My models are based on openers, and they've been rather successful for me.

    Thats true, but I like reading the lines in the hours leading to kickoff.....Injuries also start to become a lot more clear as to who will play and how much

    Like I said before, Betting 5 min before kickoff I will never get a "terrible" line and much easier to simply pass on games that I don't find value in

    90% of my plays happen on Monday/Tuesday. By then you usually have a decent idea of the Injury report. Of course scalping occurs if it moves through a key number. If there is a question mark as far as a injury on a key player you need to wait.
