Squares vs Sharps- Early or late money My idea on this topic
I notice most people are under the assumption that sharps are the late money...... I personally have to say this is not neccesarily true, I think age and action junkies have to do more with the sharp vs square bet timing question. Now I will concede the point that the closer to game time the better chance you have to find out breaking news or information early bettors are unaware of but let me explain why I am not on board the theory most agree with. I find from the short time I have had in actual casinos with books that early money is often from the "old timers" who know the games and teams more than anyone, they start tracking games days in advance for pitching matchups forecasts, batting percentages, even minor league call up anticipation so by game day they are ready to place their bet at 8am, not to mention the steady older guys wake up early and aren't fixated on watching the action they will get their bets in go home and read the paper the next day. Younger guys and action junkies are late bettors, action jjunkies rush in an underevaluatted bet at the last second just to have money on the games and younger guys tend to be at work during the day and get off and stop by the book to place a bet before game time or hitting the bar with their boys....... This is just my personal take welcome to comments but from my short time at sportsbooks and my long time at tracks the smartest sharpest players place wagers well before game/post time
