    I think that Seattle over lowered the key losses.

    I did great but that eagles game last night hurt. Dal 12.5 was a lock all game until that safety.

    Needed over 35.5 for my teaser paying over a grand as well.

    I profile the marketplace and I'm guessing you have not had a very good year up until this weekend. If you have a thread where you keep track, I have not seen it.

    We are testing some assumptions, please let me know if I am right here, as I am building an algo.

    Thanks in advance Regs.

    That was an interesting game. Wonder what the percentages were on that one.

    Sharps and 'forum sharps' seemed to all be on Balty...Admittedly, I was worried, but in the en, I had to just go with the other team.

    But it seemed like most who take this stuff seriously were on Balt. Did Joe Pub take Pitt?

    No, the books did a good job of splitting the action here.

    There was more money on Pitt than Balty and while the spread was pretty split, the money was on the Pittsburgh moneyline. There may have been more tickets on the Balty ml, but the money was heavier on the Pitt moneyline, including parlays, according to every one of my sources. That says something considering bettors had to lay for Balty.

    The spread was spolit though and the public of course bought the OVER, they almost always do.

I have zero confidence, and I keep thinking no way you quit now, since variance will start coming back the other way, but it just doesnt. I would have taken a push there and cashed the 3 teamer. I just dont know how Arizona was given a chance to win after that missed FG. But it happens to me a lot, so I cant be too surprised.
    I decided to look to see if you had a tracking thread and found those posts from just one week ago.

    So much for me getting accurate info from SBR...lol.

    Enough of the Bull S**T gentlemen. If you did not post it, you did not win. It is that simple. One of these days, you lying wanna-be's who never actually wager a nickel are going to get your worthless arses kicked from one end of the street to the other. You desperate terrible excuses for a human being will never learn, will you. PUT UP OR SHUT UP and do it BEFORE the games are played.

    Basically everyone that was questionable for Seattle was ruled out. They only had two low grade running backs active. Still hard to say if all that warranted going from -3 to almost PK. That's a really big move

    Yeah, we were really struggling to justify that move in the market place.

    I think the books made a move that got the market to overreact big time. The numbers and volume I was getting just couldn't justify it any other way.

    One of the biggest fugazi moves season to date in the NFL.

    Pittsburgh was getting hammered hard all week on the spread and money line

    Whoever thinks otherwise is delusional and needs to stop analyzing anything because you are wrong

    By the end the spread was more split than you think, but yes the Pittsburgh moneyline drove that line down and like I said, the public was split on the tickets, but the money was heavy on the ML.

    It was the disproportionate moneylne wagering that made in difference in what is seen in the marketplace as the line drop. Enough to justify it as well. The books did a good job for their purpose there in absorbing the risk with the spread and Total lines.
