Objectively handicapping will eliminate this "question" and keep things much more grounded, whether you've seen the line or not.

Don't use emotions to handicap, especially if you are trying to visualize something...and being influenced by the line while handicapping is emotional. Allowing the line to influence the decision to bet is not the same thing.

It's a game of numbers and numbers is the game.

Everything else is just gambling.

KVB, it's no secret that most cappers simply work off the line, trust the line,
think in terms of the line, base their money management against repetitive ATS
betting, and stare at the line movement as a predictive indicator.
These are long-term losing methods, we agree.
