NOT!!!
Public are 68% Side and 85% ML for CMU and the line is from +3 to +4. Are you kidding me? If it walk like a duck and wack like a duck...then it's a damn DUCK!
You're right, I always ignore the ML...But I do tend to at least consider a play when the spread moves against a high strait bet %. As the day goes on we will see how this pans out.
the line move is more signficant in my opion when it moves on/off key numbers, as is the case here. I put more stock into -3 moving to -4 than I would -7.5 moving to -9.5. In general that is. NIU is the play
Yes, betting based on line movement is a very iffy proposition, at best. Big money can make losing bets just as easily as the guy who puts 10 bucks on his favorite team.
