    *** How to READ Line Movements ***

    Hello fellas just would like to know regarding the sbr odds of daily match ups. >>> http://www.sportsbookreview.com/betting-odds/

    When trying to figure out the line movements maybe some of the more experienced cappers here can shed some light on how to decipher these damn line movements cause it never seems to make sense how the match ends and you think to yourself WTF was all that line movement for and then the result did not finish the way you wanted it to. Sometimes the line opens for example at -120 then its like -123 -126 -130 -137 -140 and it just goes in one way making you think wow this looks like a lock. Other times the line is all over the place moves up and down so what does this all mean when trying to read these movements to finalize your plays?

    For example when looking at the opening lines and feeds percentage of public vs sharps. Is it better to look at the opening line or the closing line before the match does it matter which one? And when looking at the lines itself like if it opens say at -127 then within 2-3 hours its moved to -130 and so on but then starts to make its way back to the opening line is that another tell? Or do you try to find RLM spots where the feeds are saying 47% or below hence the sharp side and the line is moving in their favor? Please help cause pretty sure not alone when trying to figure this out so would be a great help for any advice on how to read these line movements everyday and goal is to hit 55% or better.

    So any of the experienced cappers on here that know what their doing would you please share some tips to some of the new cappers on here trying to learn? TY

    Line movements mean nothing because if they did nobody would work

    Sports betting is random

    You make an educated decision and pray

    If you track line moves and steam plays it always comes to around 50% and of course you get buried because of the juice

    Lines move because of injuries scalpers and whales plopping down a wager

    Skammy is what No Coincidences calls Sam Odom.

    Line movement means nothing pal. The sooner you realize this the better off you will be.

    Friendly advice Yup, if Big Bear and JJ agree on something... it's likely wrong.

    Playing steam AT A STALE NUMBER WINS! Not as easy as just following the money, you have to follow the money, but still buy low, sell high.
