    i think those are the only 3 for us that post them early,,,it takes so long for a couple reasons, there a lot of movement with ncaa totals and most books rather you not get the best side of a number... hell most wont even post a ton of ncaa hoops totals...

    It's called taking an edge.

    That's what they do , and if you win, they cut your limits.

    No different from a local at the end of the day.

    Totals are a volatile market. Best to let others take hits , and them post lines when they settle.

    My biggest gripe is why do some books only post 60% of the totals? What does that accomplish? Mainly its a problem with Vegas books. Its an amatuer move imo.

    everyone afraid of posting a weak total and getting creamed

    some of these college totals open up quite far from where they should be

    If you post a total you're exposing yourself to market moves, including 3.5 point moves when Right Angle Sports releases picks. In exchange, they get action on them early in the week from... a bunch of people trying to pick off weak lines. There isn't much in the way of profitable or two-way action early in the week and even later in the week that stuff is no picnic on small games; the books that don't offer the other totals don't offer them cause managing them is a headache that earns them nothing but the attention of some advantage players.
