I don't. My betting strategy is very simple. I just look for numbers that are far enough off market that they are +ev. So if the entire world has the Falcons at -3.5 and one shop has them offered at -3, I'm gonna bet the -3.
This is why college basketball is awesome. So many games and lots of variance.
Yeah you bet like a pro/syndicate thought so lol. I’m a true handicapper of what goes on the field & usually sell a half point back for low juice or plus odds on numbers I think are off. I’ve had some success through the years, but like I said in a previous post “I’m no pro”.

If you've been gambling for years and you are up then I would consider you a pro. Winning is not easy and there's more than one way to skin a cat. I have lots of respect for people that cap and people that run numbers and create models.

Agreed in many points

1. College basketball has so much variance even the closing lines have. The latest one I 've experienced is o149 points dropping to o145.5 for the same price. And this happens all the time, lol.. Does anybody know why?

2. I guess it is safer to use the average price across multiple shops - probably offshore ones and pinnacle - to identify the market price. I used to go by pinnacle but after seeing all those high climbs/drops around I have gotten trust issues. I don't have stats though, it's only intuition..

p.s. A bit off the thread but it's a good chance to raise this topic

Pinny and Circa are the sharpest. If those two books are in agreement it's very likely their number is correct.

Very consistent 4 year cycle since inception.
I have seen others reference this cycle before. What is the reason for the swings? Obviously doesn't happen just cuz. And with how well known the cycle is, seems like the market would do some reverse psychology on itself? I use bitcoin, but am not a trader or analyst of it. Feels like big time investors would just time the market within a reasonable range. Maybe they do and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy?
