Did "beating" the closing line help anyone today yet?

Reload beating the closing line means you've done your job. It doesn't mean you will profit over the course of a day,week or even a month. It's a grind but if you beat the closing number you will win long term. (If you don't go all in every other play. Bet sizing is very important.)

Durito are you lol'ing at me? Am I wrong?

Patty summed it up very well. I had denver +218.... I think the line finish around +190...

I bet the closer in half my games. and so far I've won exactly half my games. Up money due to the money lines I play which are usually dogs but do have Arizona going at -245..... it finished at -230.....

Beating the ML means you'll lose less.

Beating the closing number is irrelevant of the outcome of the game.

And since the outcome of the game can't be predicted with any kind of accuracy, the best you can do is get your money in with the best of it. By beating the closing line.

Very interesting this thread was made because the Giants have beat the Redskins by 6.. some people got the line at 5.5, some at 6, some at 6.5

onthewhat · 09-13-09, 06:10 PM

Giants closed anywhere from 5.5 to 6.5

If you got a good number on either side you won the game

Line shopping is important, and so is beating the closing number

durito · 09-13-09, 06:12 PM

-5.5 -110 was not a +ev based on the closing line at pinnacle. (neither would -5, or -4.5 or -4)

The score doesn't matter. Not all points are created equal.

R3Sports · 09-13-09, 06:13 PM

Skins closed at +6 for me, had that (6 1/2) this morning tho!

It's alright....

pat venditto · 09-13-09, 06:14 PM

Durito I had redskins +6.5 +180 in the 1st quarter. God bless.

Yes...all the time.....sitting on Green Bay @ -3.5

Difference between a winner and a loser more often than not.

beating the closing # is the ONLY way to have any chance at making money in this business. i don't care how much you know.

IF you are not beating that closing line on a consistent basis, you might as well quit while you're ahead cause you have ZERO chance at coming up ahead at the end.

save your money now while you still have some..

Kaps · 09-13-09, 07:22 PM

if you didnt have enough outs to find nyg-5.5 or wash +6.5
you should consider giving up

save your money

Rich Boy · 09-13-09, 07:39 PM

Beating the closing number isnt enough, you need to beat the closing NO JUICE number.

Key difference here.
