Question for you sharpies:

[Swinging Johnson]

On Friday night Oklahoma State is favored by roughly 27 over Iowa State. Now here's my question.

Scoresandodds has the opening number at 24 1/2 and now at 27

I just want to know where the number started Blackster. Look at the very bottom of the post where I ask the question. Did it start at 24- or 27?

Not sure, but I do know SBRodds' "opening line" can rarely be trusted.

I'm pretty sure it opened at 24.5 in most places on Sunday and was bet up to 26, didn't see it hit 27 yet at any of my books.

SBR Odds has the Pinny opening line as 24.5 for this game

You guys need to be more thorough in your analysis

Would hate to see you make a silly mistake

[SportsMushroom]

swinging johnson it depends on what book you chose in the options section of sbrodds to show the opener from


I have bookmaker for the opener option so sbrodds shows the opener at 25

scoreandodds gets its openers from somewhere else, sportsbook.com I think

every book posts up lines at a different time, so if book A posts a line first at -24, if it moves to 27 and then book B decides to post up a line then book B will open the line at 27, basically copying book A lines, cause it would be idiotic to open it at 24, they would be then prone to sharp action

The problem is that SBRodds uses 5Dimes as its "opening line," but 5Dimes almost always has some jacked up number at open.

5Dimes supposedly opened at 27 around 4-4:30 yesterday. Pinny's opener was a little under an hour later. But was the 5Dimes line a "true" opener? According to SBRodds it was.

As per sportsinsights: Line opening at 5 Dimes

<table rules="all" id="mytable" width="740" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td width="170"> 11/13/2011 6:29:39 PM
</td><td> Oklahoma State - @ Iowa State -
</td><td align="right"> -27.0-110 </td><td align="right"> 27.0-110</td></tr></tbody></table>
And the majority of the other books opened at 24.5 or 25 according to SI
