this topic has been talked to death. but this thread is a little different. i am asking about what would you personally do on a hypothetical pinnacle lean opportunity. just curious what y'all crazy bettor would do in this situation:
***just let you know, this is just a hypothetical situation. i made up all the numbers.
for example, you're pretty sure on a chalk bet in a major sporting event. the line at pinnacle opened at -166. all other major sportbooks has it at -170. the game won't start for another 5 days. you're thinking about putting some money on the chalk. however you noticed something intereing. all of sudden, the line at pinnacle is now -176. the line at other big sportsbooks are still at -170 unchanged. so it is pretty clear, some one is betting big on this. so you wait a day, and saw the line at pinnacle went down to -167. now you're thinking about making the bet, but all off the sudden the line at pinnacle jump to -177. so you thought to yourself, maybe if i wait another day, the line will go back to -167 or -168. you waited a day, the line is still at -177 for pinnacle and -170 at other sportsbooks. as of now, you have two days until the start of the game.
what would you do in this situation? would you wait a day, hoping the line at pinnacle will drop below -170? or you just put your bet in at other major sportsbook at -170 because you think the other books might change their line soon.
or other thoughts?
