I didn't notice this video until now... very informative. Makes me a little more nervous about funds in my most sketchy book. Keep up the good work, Loshak.Comment -

Yeah, the books zigged when they shoulda zagged. I think the early "sharp" money went on the under, which quickly adjusted the lines down a bit. But apparently they didn't bump back up so much as the squares took the over. I guess the books were banking on late sharp money that never came to balance the action. Sharps are getting sharper?

So let me get this straight... sharps are only sharps if they are on the losing side that seemed so obvious at the beginning, but not so obvious at the end? I find it funny how people toss around the word sharp after they lose a bet. If being a square means you're winning then why the hell would u want to be associated with being sharp? Just because you bet a lot of money on something does not make you any more likely to win, nor does it mean you know any more than someone only betting 10 dollars.Comment
