Late Nov and Dec Lines is hardest time to handicap sports

[frostno98]

The sportsbook lines seems to be at it's sharpest and the hardest to handicap comes late November and December. You can't really find any consistency in the NBA or NCAAB, while NFL lines are razor sharp. In my 5 years of doing this sh1t, November always seems to be the hardest, pretty much dead money here.

Football seems to be easier from September to October. NBA, after the AllStar break. And college Basketball, once conference plays stars.

unless you can back this statement up with logic WHY lines are sharper in december, this statement makes no sense

[Masu485]

they are sharper because the books know people try to quit gambling as a new year's resolution, so they milk all of the money out of you during december and late november before you leave.

I always find late jan, and feb to be the worst times for gambling

Try gambling daily in January nad Feburary and most likely you will get buried.

I have no logic to this, but during my five year of doing this extensively, reading stats and following forum picks. November and December's has never been profitable, there's has to be a reason to that than just being unlucky and sucking in betting.

I agree, right now isn't that bad

November was shit for NBa cause all the squares were cashing but NFL was pretty good as lots of dogs covered especially the last 2 weeks of that month. NBA is pretty nice right now that 25% of the schedule is gone and you get to see more of how some teams are.

I can honestly say, from about Thanksgiving until after New Years last year was the most horrific stretch of betting I ever had - I kid you not, I had a 5-30 "slump" through that period of time at one point. This holiday season is much better, gotta be patient and not go bonkers just because there are games at all hours of the day....MM......

To me the last 2 weeks of the NFL regular season is the toughest.
