Is it true that if you beat the closing line, you will make a profit in the long run?
So say in the NFL, the Raiders opened up as a -7 favorite and the lined closes at -8.5 at kickoff. If you got -7 when the lined closed at -8.5, is that considered beating the closing line?
What if the Raiders opened up as -7 and closed at -5.5 at kickoff, and you wagered Raiders -5.5, would that be considered beating the closing line as well?
As long as you got the best # from the time the line opened until the game kick offs, you're good to go in the long run right?
