Anyone notice how close these college games are to the number?

[jjgold]

It’s incredible. The lines are so tight.

 

[flyingillini]

They haven't been this tight since 2016.

BIGGER MARKET THE REASON

Fisher even small schools near the number a few minutes left

Getting the best number and buying half point becoming possible.

JJ you need to isolate the soft lines, and pound them early.

 

[carolinakid]

stay away from the high profile games

 

[djefferis]

Follow the $$$

Refs gotta keep the bosses happy while still not making it look fixed.

Tease them then. Tease one and leave one open if you can and don't like another team. Having a few open teasers on the shelf is always a good thing.

I haven’t noticed anything different this year & I’ve bet nearly 200 games in college basketball, not sure what OP is talking about.

 

[slickfazzer]

Jerky, "point and click" bettors often complain how tight the lines are, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Like a prom date

 

[homie1975]

hoops (college or nba) the "least difficult" lines to make historically.

unlike football where you can play keep away all day long if your D is incredible and you can cause turnovers,

in hoops it is alternating possessions with just 1, 2 or 3 point plays so with 80 possessions per team it is going to fall closer to the number than football.

baseball and hockey probably very tight lines also.

football games get way out of hand as dominance by one team or the other gets pronounced.

Yeah, he neglects to mention all the lines that are nowhere near the market.

lol

There's plenty of both.

Yeah, always very vague and small sample size with that guy. He doesn’t bet enough in that market to really make an accurate assessment in my opinion.

 

[JDS]

This guy throws out irrelevant topics all the time like a paperboy route. I’m blame myself for taking him off ignore.

It's not all bad.

We've addressed a basic condition of some in the market here. They remember the close ones, especially if they were betting on it, and not the others.

Fazzer makes a good point about point and click and how that type of bettor is subject to this slanted view.

Not to mention, making the mistake of judging the "sharpness" of a line by how close it came to the final score.

That's a big mistake even veterans make.

It can be older news to us, Jerky, but there are many just starting out with a lot to learn.

Remember, I profile and take into consideration every level of bettor and while Gold is more sophisticated, sometimes it's the higher level or experiences bettors that are best suited to point these lower level errors, as many of us were once there.

Yeah that’s the problem if I have him on ignore I don’t see the thread at all & I can miss a learning moment by you & others who really have something worth teaching me.
