Shouldn't capping football games be easier now?
You have all the information you need on every team now. Or are the lines just that good that it doesn't make any difference?
Books are not making many mistakes around this time, which saps the value out of plays.
When is capping a slight advantage to the cappers versus the books? Never?
NFL 2team 6pt Teasers have more 'value' now than 6 weeks ago
I just don't buy the idea that it's any easier to beat the lines later in the season than earlier in the season. Yes, by now you should have a very good idea about the teams, but how does that give you an edge? The books and other bettors also have the information. Earlier in the season the lines are probably not as 'sharp', but that's because the average bettor won't have a good idea about the teams anyway.
Earlier as in the first few games? Books seem to be even better early because they have information that no one can see. Bettors are betting only on assumptions based on last years information and past trends/action. It just seems easier to me now that it did a few months ago. Maybe its because I have won the majority of my profits over the last month. The $$$$$ have it.Originally Posted by yisman

youre first mistake is trying to handicap something that cant be handicapped
look around, lines makers are sharper than most gamblers 365 days a year. lines get razor sharp as the year goes along IMO. Gamblers can still win.So they are less sharp early in the season? Interesting.

A few weeks ago, week 9 I think, the books were killed. Is that part of the 365 days of the year too?look around, lines makers are sharper than most gamblers 365 days a year. lines get razor sharp as the year goes along IMO. Gamblers can still win.
