Squares vs Sharps 2010 - The Squares strike first

[SBR_John]

We Squares crushed them yesterday. LSU was a powerful steam move powered by Sharp money(now squares money LOL) taking the line 4 points in a day! We then take Ohio St even though the Sharps told us there was no way to shut down Oregon.

The "sharp" play today is Uconn. Sharp money is pouring into that game. The line has moved about 3 points. As a self proclaimed spokesman of the Squares I will say we will take South Car -3.5. And while we are at it we will take Arkansas-7.5.

Good luck! You are a southern boy? Keep up with the cute avatars. Some of us still consider ladies to be sexier with their clothes on!!!

Don't know where you got your Sharp Money moves from, but over 80% was on LSU ML from the Public! Ohio St and Penn St was Sharp plays yesterday! Yes Sharp Money is on Uconn today as well but the 2 yesterday, were not square plays that won. 80% was on the espn poll for Oregon to win!

I personally hate the term "sharp", what does it mean?

But by the very fact you claim to know what the sharp plays are; aren´t you yourself claiming to be sharp. Does steam always indicate where the "sharp" money is? Maybe the "sharps" are sitting this game out.

Sharp means

1. You use +EV in every post
2. You never bet -110
3. Never post plays
4. Always come in after game and say why the winner was the right side.

Many more things but you get the drift

[SamsNCharge99]

I always play -110 and rarely bet doggs

Sammy = SBR Biggest Square

[pokernut9999]

Most call it when money is going one way and the line moves the other way.

Let's go squares

[SBR_John]

Most bookmakers will move the line when their group of sharp customers/players are betting one team. They will not move it even if there is unbalanced action if they think its square action. You can actually make money as a square if you are very careful. Most squares lose because of reckless money management and playing plays they have not capped but rather are action plays. Action plays and general entertainment plays at -110 as well as parlays and other exotics will eventually get the whole bank roll.

They described me perfectly!

I have loved South Carolina since the games were announced.

I like SC by a touch easy here.

Right. But "sharp" therefore only means thorough and disciplined.

Some sharps will find it hard to find value some days , but Durito can find value 137 times on a slow day.

I am sure you can find 2 sharps that see value in a game at the the same line but on opposite sides.

sharp money is just a misnomer terms used when a team losing that after the fact looks so terrible.

[Bootylicious]

What do we go all in on today? I need to double my bankroll!!!!

On the basis that most handicappers will utilise similar data and weighting of that data, I believe that is rarer than you might think.

Not saying every game , and I doubt they all use same data.

best post i've seen today.

sharp money has already been placed on uconn at the +7, now the sharp money will be coming in on south carolina -3/ML

yours truly

Sharps & squares remain the most overused terms ever. I long for a universe in which they are not used.

Most lines have + value at some point. There are tens of thousands of betting lines nearly every day around the world.

I am sure you can find 2 sharps that see value in a game at the the same line but on opposite sides.

Surely, and most likely both are wrong. Advantage sports betting is about finding as many small edges as you can, not every bet you make is going have positive expected value and not every good bet you make is going to win.

I am tailing you SBR JOHN so they better WIN!!!!

Most pro's in Vegas had Florida, Penn State, Florida State, Auburn, Oregon and a lot had Under in the Rose Bowl. Theres no way to ever predict where the sharp action is. Most people think its wherever the line moves, not always.

Just realized you said Sharp Money was on UCONN but you still took South Carolina, why would you do that?

Yes that is correct, except I got the word they were on Ohio St and Under in that game. And well both of those won! Everyone have a good day!

It's mainly where the reverse line movement is not just line movement. Sharp money was late on Ohio St and FSU.
