    what exactly is steam?



    always hear people talking about it, but never know what it is or how to follow it?

    Steam - In sports betting steam is when a line starts to move rapidly. Most "steam games" do not necessarily reflect objective circumstances, but are games that a mass of bettors is drawn to for some reason.

    steam is profitable if you bet at books with off numbers
    it is also a key to arbing

    A steam bet has no bearing if money is sharp or square money

    Many people think steam bets are sharp action

    no

    steam has to be bet before the line moves. dont bet it after the line moves it then is no longer valuable.

    If you bet a game before the line moves, you are not " betting steam ". You have just beat the steam. What the books don't like is when the arbist sees a line movement begin, and gets a bet down on a good number before it goes downhill --- leaving the book with little to no juice, or even a guaranteed loss on the arbist's bets.
