Strategy For Late Night Games

[ZetaPsi808]

I suspect that on days that have a big card for sports (usually friday, saturday and sunday) that a lot of bettors may be down money and units by late at night. as we know, a lot of people like to chase. now when people chase, they generally take the obvious pick, which is usually the public heavy favorite.

I think the books take this into account when adjusting and setting lines for the 10:05 and 10:35 games. For example, the books know a fair line for a game would be -8 /+8. But since it is the last game on the night card, i think they make the spread 8.5 or 9 points, basically "over-chalking" the favorite. Over the long run, that 1 point makes a huge difference.

Thoughts?

P.S. The mods need to bring back BobbyFK. Guy was the 2nd best video poster ever, second only to JJGold.

In my opinion, the start time of a game is completely irrelevant.

A late night game might be the first game of the day for someone in another part of the world.

I agree with your approach to a degree, but if you were going to go this route, I think you would be better off playing the late night unders.

[CAUTION]

Betting on the late night games, where people are usually chasing their loses I like to bet on the underdogs. (Especially in the nba/ncaab)
