As a relative newcomer to the world of sports betting, I find all of this talk fascinating. Here is my take: all knowledge is valuable, but once the ball is put in play it doesnt really matter where the money is (unless you are talking fix and that's for another thread). What matters is how many points are put on the board by each team, and all the smart money in the world ain't gonna help that 19 yr old kid make the free throw that cashes your ticket...
That said, there is a lot of info to be gleaned from line movements, and I appreciate all of the wisdom in here in trying to understand their meaning....
