It use to be a huge word in the betting industry but seems too have died out
Books move to fast now?

Agreed-unless you have the ability to make your own line you will not be able to identify value and you follow too many false moves. Originally Posted by hubie69

Sharp money is not bet in the United States because the lines are too wide and you get banned if you spot a weakness
Biggest action is taken by credit books offshore
Has been that way forever and will always be that way

Steam always has been a joke in my mind. Find a line and if it has value in your eyes bet it. Simple stuff. I hate when ppl fade for the sake of fading also. Make your own plays

When a line doesnt make sense PLUS STEAM

LMAO Gold, I predict line movements, both direction and cause, as part of my daily market capping and analysis.
We don't bet steam, we ARE the steam.
And sometimes we fool you.

Every single sports book has software profiling players and if they see you’re beating the closing line you get booted regardless of your win loss figures
And I forgot more than anybody knows here

This is pretty much correct. It really isn't about the money, the books often don't let it get to that point. Originally Posted by jjgold

It's not just about outs having outs, it's about how you use them.

I was in the industry then, I remember it well and it basically led to an entire "risk management" division within our budding sports group. We knew we could maintain the edge.
But in order to do so, that's all I can share publcily to anyone I don't know and trust. Because the only way to get the upperhand back from the books is to form what we did, or join what we did. What we did doesn't work without growth so the only way we maintain the edge is to add member to that "division."
Make no mistake, this is not a recruiting post.

I was in the industry on both sides of the counter because a I was always a player at heart.
Back then the number one way to deal with some bettors was to close accounts and keep the winnings. Then algos started changing the way the industry dealt with risk because some shops needed to remain legit, and grow big.
We remained ahead of the algos but it can't be done without as force and without breaking key rules for online sportsbooks. Those rules eventually became vurtually ubiquitous in the industry.
Geeee, I wonder why.

is this why they always say to watch the early lines in football and see which they shift - the steam actually makes the line what it should have been? Originally Posted by KVB

Sometimes, sometimes not. Remember, the early lines usually have lower limits and can be moved easier if the book is choosing to move on the limit bets they get. Originally Posted by pologq

Steam moves almost always mean movement towards what ends up being the closing line. If you can get aboard that train at a slow moving book, you'll be profitable, yes. However, almost everyone moving quickly off the hot air coming out of Bookmaker & Pinnacle's rectums.
No one moves faster than the US land based shops that QUIVER in their shitty ripped Skechers footwear anytime they might take a bet larger than $20.
Whoever said offshore will be following onshore in a few years is a MORON, unless by a few years you mean 50+ years.

Defiantly not what it used to be.
With gambling becoming more main stream the market has become more saturated with deep pocket dummies it seems, but still theres plenty of sharp sides steaming if you want do dig through the line moves enough
