So many books out there call some people sharp that aren"t. I witnessed this more than onetime. expecially when a player goes on a long winning streak, automatically they say this guy is sharp. when I focus on people that are winning, the first thing that comes to mind is what number did he bet all his plays. I seen way more than one occasion that a square would bet bet lines and still win and the book would say he"s sharp. it defintely matters what books we are talking about. top books knows that guys that bet bad numbers will lose in a long run.

But what if a sharp moves for the originator, then what? :smoker2:

Then the originator is sharp and hence so is the action.

Top books don't care about middlers. Bet overnight at Pinny, come back bet the other side 3 points different, they won't care !

Most middle at different books, but I'm sure many do both ends at Pinny, on wait and see middles. Naturally real-time middles are at different books.

Excellent point. Pinny would probably be happy to have some money on that other side, since it will probably pay the infamous "sharps" that played the earlier number.

"Sharps" will certainly be tossed from the books giving the free half points. To my knowledge, they are paid and asked to play elsewhere.

However, with my NIT plays, any book would beg for me.
