    Rarely, don't like being locked in for days. Too much can happen

    99% of my action occurs on or the night before gameday

          I make bets 5 min before kickoff......I try to get the best number on a side I like, and if I don't get it or the line moves the wrong way, I pass......

          Much better to lay off a bet than be locked in to a bad number from earlier in the week

          Fun to check the lines throughout the week though, and maybe place small bets if you like something a lot early

            MLD, the value of a bet can change at anytime, even after the game starts. Assume team A starting QB,lets call him Tom Brady, gets hurt on the first play of any given game, your bet on Team has lost a lot of its value.

            A lot of value found on openers, especially this early in the season.

                Betting real late can backfire too

                Your betting into a sharper line vs and opener

                    Betting openers is highly overrated unless you are an expert modeler and sharper than the books which is less than 1% of gamblers. It's better to wait and read the lines and what the books are thinking by certain moves. It's important to know the difference between books taking a stand on a certain side and a gambler/whale betting big moving the line.

                      I bet the piss out of openers.

                      If you don't, you're a dipsh*t.

                      I realize this is harsh, but I feel its necessary to be honest on here.

                        I bet openers in all sports. My models are based on openers, and they've been rather successful for me.

                              Thats true, but I like reading the lines in the hours leading to kickoff.....Injuries also start to become a lot more clear as to who will play and how much

                              Like I said before, Betting 5 min before kickoff I will never get a "terrible" line and much easier to simply pass on games that I don't find value in

                                      90% of my plays happen on Monday/Tuesday. By then you usually have a decent idea of the Injury report. Of course scalping occurs if it moves through a key number. If there is a question mark as far as a injury on a key player you need to wait.
