    Does Anyone Bet Steam Moves Anymore?
    It use to be a huge word in the betting industry but seems too have died out

    Books move to fast now?

        Sammy sharp as a tack here, as always.
        The problem with steam is you don't always know what prompted said steam. There are times where you do not want to be part of that.

              Post a video of your analysis. The only thing steaming over here is the morning toilet pal.

                  Agreed-unless you have the ability to make your own line you will not be able to identify value and you follow too many false moves.

                  Let’s ask Sammy what is more predictive early steam or late steam? Not all steam is created equal! Or what about injury or weather steam???

                    Sharp money is not bet in the United States because the lines are too wide and you get banned if you spot a weakness


                    Biggest action is taken by credit books offshore

                    Has been that way forever and will always be that way

                      Steam always has been a joke in my mind. Find a line and if it has value in your eyes bet it. Simple stuff. I hate when ppl fade for the sake of fading also. Make your own plays

                                  LMAO Gold, I predict line movements, both direction and cause, as part of my daily market capping and analysis.

                                  We don't bet steam, we ARE the steam.

                                  And sometimes we fool you.

                                      Every single sports book has software profiling players and if they see you’re beating the closing line you get booted regardless of your win loss figures

                                      And I forgot more than anybody knows here

                                          This is pretty much correct. It really isn't about the money, the books often don't let it get to that point.

                                          But there are ways of dealing with this, the players are ahead of the books right now, at least some of us, because we have an ace in the hole.

                                          It's not just about outs having outs, it's about how you use them. It's a game we have been playing for two decades, before the books could really solidify that edge they were taking away in the late 90's. I was in the industry then, I remember it well and it basically led to an entire "risk management" division within our budding sports group. We knew we could maintain the edge.

                                          But in order to do so, that's all I can share publcily to anyone I don't know and trust. Because the only way to get the upperhand back from the books is to form what we did, or join what we did. What we did doesn't work without growth so the only way we maintain the edge is to add member to that "division."

                                          Make no mistake, this is not a recruiting post.

                                            I was in the industry on both sides of the counter because a I was always a player at heart.

                                            Back then the number one way to deal with some bettors was to close accounts and keep the winnings. Then algos started changing the way the industry dealt with risk because some shops needed to remain legit, and grow big.

                                            We remained ahead of the algos but it can't be done without as force and without breaking key rules for online sportsbooks. Those rules eventually became vurtually ubiquitous in the industry.

                                            Geeee, I wonder why.

                                                    We don't bet steam, we ARE the steam.

                                                    And sometimes we fool you.

                                                    if you did easy to be rich

                                                    Nobody can predict line movement consistently

                                                            This is pretty much correct. It really isn't about the money, the books often don't let it get to that point.

                                                            But there are ways of dealing with this, the players are ahead of the books right now, at least some of us, because we have an ace in the hole.

                                                            It's not just about outs having outs, it's about how you use them. It's a game we have been playing for two decades, before the books could really solidify that edge they were taking away in the late 90's. I was in the industry then, I remember it well and it basically led to an entire "risk management" division within our budding sports group. We knew we could maintain the edge.

                                                            But in order to do so, that's all I can share publcily to anyone I don't know and trust. Because the only way to get the upperhand back from the books is to form what we did, or join what we did. What we did doesn't work without growth so the only way we maintain the edge is to add member to that "division."

                                                            Make no mistake, this is not a recruiting post.

                                                            is this why they always say to watch the early lines in football and see which they shift - the steam actually makes the line what it should have been?

                                                              Sometimes, sometimes not. Remember, the early lines usually have lower limits and can be moved easier if the book is choosing to move on the limit bets they get.

                                                              Books don't always try to get 50-50 on each side, they take positions and use moving and not moving the line to do so.
