Syndicates vs Squares

[armyoflovers]

How discernable of a difference is there when a square bets a game compared to a syndicate? If i square win half of his bets, how many do you think syndicates nail? I remember last year where all the smart money was being laid on Pitts at Balt but I went against it as the Ravens blew Pitts out of the stadium, so I know theyre not right all of the time.

When he price moves at several books at once, that is syndicate action (or sometimes followers of touts).

Not all steam is sharp, but it wins more often than not. If you could get the original number before the move, you could blindly bet steam moves and win 54% or more of the time.
