FISHEAD...........very good topic sir......
LAKERFAN...........i always knew you were a sharp guy.........
for books on screen........pinny, cascade, cris, blue grass, buckeye....should garner special attention.. for baskets pay special attention to pinny, cascade, bluegrass.
like Lakerfan, i use credit shops as a gauge.....credit shops that cater to sharps are the best line indicators....imo

just curious as to the inclusion of buckeye. i have looked at there numbers quite often but don't notice them being ahead of the curve. i have been involved in this discussion in a few different places and have been told more than once that the larger the market the more accurate the number. in that case wouldn't shops such as grande who supposedly have fairly high limits post a more accurate number sooner

depends on who the action is coming from....
i have a small book of 150 during peak football season, "my public action" is the same as public action at books of 1,000 or 10,000 players.......yes there may be some "regional bias" in some situations...but on the whole, JOHN Q PUBLIC is the same over here...and over there...
also...
my sharp action...will mirror other shops sharp action...
this isnt opinion, its basic fact....
lets not forget the basic principle of bookmaking.....getting action on both sides....(in theory)...if you use that principle you are assuming that because PINNY is hanging a different number than its counterparts.....it must be sharp action....but is it????.....i dunno you tell me....
this is a very complex topic.....you have to factor in many situations....public action, sharp action, book exposure, ect..
i have tried to figure out why a book was dealing a certain line.....on many, many games ......and i have yet to determine a concrete angle.....
if you were to go back 20 years ago and focus on a handful of the big credit shops.....you would no doubt get a solid handle on which way to lean.....nowadays......i dont think you can....
