    If you're just a casual player it's meaningless the only people to check out all the time are scalpers

    So random to get the best number there's no such thing as a certain time is better

    Why not shop around for the best odds? Especially if they change a nontrivial amount during the few days leading up to the game?

    Any input on early betting? Does anyone find it's worth it to get the odds as soon as they're posted?
