    Research is useless, stop wasting your time.

    The group that sets the lines did it, don't bother wasting your time. They have the high tech software, not you.

    Best way to make money is hitting the lines when they move in what you perceive, your favor, and having at least 3-4 books to get the best line from.

    2H are also a good way to make $, the Linesmaker can't watch 20 1st halves at once.

    Good post. Will mostly fall on deaf ears though.

    People here like to think they can "cap" a game and figure out something vegas missed when they set the line to begin with.

    Of course...I feel like the amount of time it can take to crunch #'s can be spent doing better things like looking for arbitrage opportunities, and other value items.

    Better results is to look at nothing until game day. Doing this, gives you time to not like any particular bet too much(lock Pick).

    Shonner, I love you!

    I hope you are a big player, and others accept your logic.

    rookie question: How do you determine if a line moves in your favor?
