Bobby, Honest question - not flaming. You said there were 100 better ways to follow the sharp money. I realize that's an exaggeration (the 100 number), but obviously you believe there are better ways. Can you tell me one or two of what you believe to be the best ways to follow the sharps? I'd love to learn.

The best way is to get to know a couple who live in Vegas via email/Twitter etc.

If you don't want to go to that trouble you can follow prominent sharps on Twitter (very useful resource), read their articles/websites, listen to them on radio/podcasts. Start the season by finding out what teams the sharps are backing and which teams they are fading (season win totals is the obvious tip off for this). Once the season starts watch the early line moves and the late line moves. Learn how to read what the market is doing and more importantly why. If it isn't obvious why a line moved dig for more information.

Check out prominent sharp plays in the Hilton contest...at least early in the year. The Hilton picks can be misleading for obvious reasons, but you'll get a general consensus what teams/games certain people like.

There's a TON of free resources available to get more than enough info. But keep in mind that sharps disagree a lot among themselves and not all sharps are created equal. Not many can hit 55% on widely available lines long-term so you need to figure out who's opinion you respect and who's you don't. Often times you'll see a line move but it's not because "thats what the sharps are doing" but because the size of the action laid down--in reality the game could be seeing 2way action in terms of volume of bets among sharps.

It also helps to know general tendencies of sharps and how they like to bet. But even that will vary because you have system guys vs fundamentalists, etc.

I don't know how much that helps, but the info is out there...you just gotta find it.

I agree bobbyk. In fact, I think this is the biggest problem with using RLM and I've been trying it for 3 or 4 years. The amount of money going on one team is not widely published and for good reason. The number of bets we see at the public consensus sites show the number of bets, not the money. This represents a lot of squares but not all square money moves lines. The lines move based upon money, not based upon how many squares bet on one side.

Great point. Those sites don't differentiate between a 1$ bet and a 1000$ bet. Both are created equal in terms of tracking volume which can make it misleading. It doesn't mean they are useless, but take specific percentages with a grain of salt. The true volume of money just isn't available and probably never will be.

Utah fukkin rolling... this is one of the all-time RLM days! I'm already worried about it coming back to roost in NFL tomorrow...

[Aussiecapper101]

Skip tomorrow bro...we have a chance for 8-0 today.

[matelionis]

John Smith himself couldn't save this one for BYU boys!

RLM was good to me Saturday

[BeBrave]

Yeah I was thinking ML as I had them in a Parlay when I posted they covered ATS with ease sorry for the confusion!

[Totolover1409]

Hope Jags and Bears hit!

[8ArIvd5]

the bears were an rlm play? i'm seeing 45% on them.

[Totolover1409]

Both are a bust.

0-2.

[Totolover1409]

I got kinda greedy and since it was on a key point (7 or 3) i gave it a shot. Didnt have any plays last week so I thought i'd try it.

no worries.

is twominutewarning not working for anyone else?

[8ArIvd5]

[dodger33]

yea images are messed up

[matelionis]

Central Michigan +21.5 (2pt move)
Bowling Green +3.5 (2.5pt move)
Arkansas +11 (1.5pt move)
California +1 (2pt move)
Buffalo +9 (1pt move)
Idaho +3 (3pt move)
Nevada +16 (4pt move)
Wyoming +21 (1.5pt move)
Missouri +19.5 (1.5pt move)
Tulsa +28 (4.5pt move)
North Texas +6 (1.5pt move)

[matelionis]

2011 NCAA RLM Record - 10-5-0

[8ArIvd5]

i have a&m and clemson as rlm, also.

what site are you using, mate?

[matelionis]

Sportsinsights. Also, I don't consider a .5 movement enough for RLM. But that's just me.

[dodger33]

yessir

[Full Time Hobo]

Thanks dodger.
And good stuff matelionis

8ArIvd5 is right about Clemson and Texas A&M. Also not enough of a majority for Bowling Green, Arkansas or Buffalo.

[jolmscheid]

None of those games have 10,000+ bets on them....what is your guys' filter for the minimum number of bets placed?

[jolmscheid]

BTW...the Buffalo Bills are an RLM play as of right now...

Keep an eye on Vikings, Raiders and Bucs, all are close. And Bills are a scary choice because with the game opening at 9, sharps may have pounded Bills early to set up basic strategy teasers on Pats in 7.5-8.5 range, and you don't see teasers in percentages.

Very true LT...that is a good point...

[Capybara]

As noted above, several attractive options today!

Just nervous because last Saturday everything went exactly as anticipated... So today don't want to unload on RLM because I'm all confident, and end up going like 3-8 or something!

I only see 2 RLM plays...but I don't play unless there is at least 10,000 bets for football and 5,000 bets for other sports...

[stickbit]

great point Capy...there will be losing weeks playing like this....but have to stay the course and we should have a good season!

[Totolover1409]

Bills +7.5
Vikings +3
Tampa Bay -1

Good luck everyone.

[Totolover1409]

Edited it cuz I got Tampa at -1

[jolmscheid]

Bills +7.5
Vikings +3
Tampa Bay -1

Good luck everyone.

I would look at the Raiders too...not a full point move but moved onto a key number..

[Capybara]

Looks like NCAA got buried this week. Anyone care to post their record with today's games?

[sneakerhead]

Like all three, BOL!
