    Which line is correct? Opening or closing?
    Are there any stats on this?

    I always feel like the opening like is the most accurate line and the market is not efficient. I think that if a team is -2 at the beginning of the week and -5 at game time, that the correct line is still -2, and it's a steal to +5, making it a +EV wager.

    But does anyone have any proof or evidence on this???

      if you are betting real $$ and you don't know this, then you better quit now.. unless you are just a recreational bettor and you bet 10$ a game, then go ahead and continue..

          closing is the most accurate and it's not even close..

          follow the closing line and try to beat it and you should do ok in this business..

              Ohhhh, really? Says who? So all those public bets on fan favorites like the Yanks and Cowboys really move that line to the true value??

                  Well then you're still a fool for bringing up this topic if you already have the answer in your own mind. If you are making money on it, why even bring it up? I do well also, using a formula with the opening line and do quite well also, but now you bringing these things to people's attention (and for NO REASON), you just ruined it for yourself.

                                if you group all markets together then this is more correct than not. But that does not mean there are not significant subsets where the opener is more accurate.

                                  Thx, i put this in the think tank...let's see if the guys can get some #'s

                                  It could be hard because various books have different line movement, but maybe someone is tracking one of the bigger ones.

                                    I docced it for WNBA last Summer in another forum...

                                    ...if you want it docced why don't you fvking get off your dead ass and do it yourself? Would you even believe me (us) if we stated the figures? Probably not. This is why you should do you own fvkking stats, wormwood.

                                      I can't speak for all sports and I don't have any Stats but for MMA it is definitely the Closing Line. Jumping on the opening lines in MMA can be Gold. Gold Jerry!!! Gold!!!
