Wnba you beat them cause the line moves after you release the line, so of course you beat the closing line. You have to win enough games to make your 800 dollar charge worth it. You can beat EVERY closing line but if you finish with Negative units, all that beating the closing line don't mean SH*T! I wish you luck this year...
The concept of closing line value being a strong indicator of long term success is not up for debate.

Sportsbooks use it to determine sharp action. Professional bettors use it to identify winning handicappers.
