I have a line service that shows up to the second betting numbers, who the public is on and who they arnt. I'll cap a game, and if I see the public is on it, I will forget about it. I just hate betting with the public. Example is the Hurricanes game tonight. I handicapped the Over, but at this moment 70 percent are on the over. I just forget about it and move on.

Thankfully I have a bet that has only 39 percent of the public on it with the line rising that I love later on.

Just hate betting with the public though.

public is almost always on the over, so don't worry about that as much, if the public is on the under or the underdog especially is when you might be in trouble

Last night was on the wrong side of Utah and Minnesota. Used to get worried if I get on the wrong side of a line but not anymore. I almost prefer it. People pounded Dallas last night just because of a couple injuries and everyone watching them beat Portland the night before.

The players and coaches of the teams playing do not know what the public or sharps are on. This arguement is obsurd. The best team on the field usually wins 99% of the time.

not sure what that has to do with not being on the side the majority is on. the majority is wrong more then right. and I prefer to know I'm on the minority of a side when I bet it.
