Moon88, there is no available scalp. YOu would have need to play the overnight line and then scalp it out later as the line moved.

Have two monitors(used to have three) with one monitoring lines.

Would guess that 95%+ of the time correct on moves.........with the majority(over 50%) becoming profitable middle/scalps..



WOW! Are you talking a specific sport or in every wager/lead you take you see this sort of movement? Even if it's just a sport you specialize in that is great, props to you Fish.

Why give away the extra vig by buying back? You got the value by getting the best line, don't give part of it back. Hold the bet with the Best #.

Everyone

This is not rocket scientist stuff........far from it.

Remember, many times the lead I am taking(betting) is made at a book that is slow to move the number.

Never mind, I just browsed the thread before I first posted and may have missed the point. Of course we all are going to shop for the best number or hit the slow moving books later in the day. I thought he was asking you about what % of the time the line moves in your favor when you take an early lead on a game from the overnights or what not.

I am going for coffee now, I'll be awake when I return.

I think baseball is best for this ( lots of games), NFL would be good also,NBA moves a lot as well.

College sports, hoops first and foots second, are the best.

College totals move a lot if you know what you are doing. I agree baseball can be a good sport for this too if you got a knack for knowing where the line is going.

Toledo a good example of a typical polish middle play

I grabbed the last -2s.

Game will go to three.

I'll shoot for the middle back +3.5, but also scalp some profit +144 or so.

Toledo by 1 is the death card. :laughingb

Naw just regular old Maxwell House or whatever is in the cuppard. Reminds me of this funny ass thing I read at the other forum on coffee amongst other things....



New Rule: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for Classmates.com!
There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years. Because you don't particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days: mowing my lawn.

New Rule: If you need to shave and you still collect baseball cards, you're GAY. If you're a kid, the cards are keepsakes of your idols. If you're a grown man, they're pictures of men.

New Rule: Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here's how much men care about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we're done.

New Rule: There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket, water, but without that watery taste. Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink. You want flavored water? Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt. That's your flavored water.

New Rule: Stop screwing with old people. Target is introducing a redesigned pill bottle that's square, with a bigger label. And the top is now the bottom. And by the time grandpa figures out how to open it, his ass will be in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved the Social Security crisis.

New Rule: The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the asshole. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low and one NutraSweet," ooh, you're a huge asshole.

New Rule: Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you spiritual. It's right above the crack of your ass. And it translates to "beef with broccoli." The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual. You're just high.

New Rule: Competitive eating isn't a sport. It's one of the seven deadly sins. ESPN recently televised the US Open of Competitive Eating, because watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned exciting. What's next, competitive farting? Oh wait... They're already doing that. It's called "The Howard Stern Show."

New Rule: If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy,old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens. Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the first place is the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie.

New Rule: Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with their hot, blonde teachers are permanently damaged. I have a better description for these kids: lucky bastards.

New Rule: No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab. Picking up the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the white people version of looting.

New Rule, and this one is long overdue: No more bathroom attendants. After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint like I just had sex with George Michael. I can't even tell if he's supposed to be there, or just some freak with a fetish. I don't want to be on your webcam, dude. I just want to wash my hands.

New Rule: When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to know in months. "27 Months." "He's two," will do just fine. He's not a cheese. And I really didn't care in the first place.

I don't do much college, but I'm good telling the direction MLB will go. NHL seems to move little.

Nothing like grabbing one team +104 "knowing" you are going to get the other +110.

I play many polish middles also, laying -1 on a game I know willl increase, then taking +120 or more on their opponent. It sure confuses everyone else though when they see me constantly rooting for whoever has the lead.

Fez:

Glad to hear you play Polish Middles as well. If the money you make on the sides has a higher chance of winning than the 1 time you lose, it's a good bet.

Has that been real profitbale for you? I never do polish unless its something virtually unhittable.

Easy to take a lead and ride it. Would not sugest it for the under funded. Most overnight leans pan out but again have your sh!t in one sock.
Nimue77, not a fan of the polish middle myself. There are some dead numbers I will play if I see them.

I agree with Randy. I don't go for Polish middle either. I'll play back part or all of my early position at 3.5 ( 4 ? ) and be happy with that.
