Knowing which way the line is going to move

Stocks · Jul 12, 2008

This is a weak part of my handicapping knowing when to jump on a line vs waiting for it to move in my favor.

Any tips or hints or anything you guys look at to get an idea on line movement.

Heres what I got todady

Toronto -107
Detroit -115
Philly -128

I bet those already and I'm holding out on Colorado +123 hoping the line will go up for me.

Also those lines are from Betcris dont ask me why I betting there I'm waiting till the allstar break to move to pinny of 5dimes or both.

I look for the early action when the sharps pick out wrong lines.

You are betting there (CRIS) because you like to get paid when you win...

There are much better options for baseball.

This is like asking for a goose that lays golden eggs. Those who profit off of it are unlikely to share their knowledge, so it's likely something you will have to work out for yourself.

referred to in the sportsbetting world as "forecasting" this is probably my strongest point, especially in CFL and NFL

A 20 cent line can sometimes work to your advantage...but nobody has ever been stiffed at CRIS...
