What does everyone mean when they say that a book has sharp lines?

They are EXACT,,, No rrom for disparity,,,,

also can mean they react VERY quickly,,,,
OLYMPIC
PINNACLE
BETPANAM

all very sharp books,,,, with sharp lines,,,
Me personally I try to play the LINES as soon as they come out,,this gives me more room to take advantage of SOFT LINES,,,,, Lines that havent been adjusted,,,,,,

good luck,,,

Tatehill, I've been capping seriously on my own without a service for 2 months. My question is how do you anticipate line moves. For example, lets say I like Team A at -3. Is there any thing I can check to expect team A going to -2'.
I hate losing a half point when I'm already down on a game. Any comment would be appreciated.

zip,,
everything is kne jerk reaction,,, with your comments I assume you too are hitting lines early as amI,,,,
here is my suggestion,,, watch the games,,, if a team shoots the lights out,,, and Blows up offensively,,,,thenext game they play that line will go up In total,,,and on their adjusted side,,,

here is the catch,,, just because the BLEW up offensively doesnt mean they can do it 2 nights in a row,,, I personally prefewr to REELY on NEGATIVITY which is contrarian tot he public,,, I look for a team that is slipping,,, then go to the other side,,, It is a hell of a lot harder to get out of NEGATIVE mojo than a positive one,,, the reason for that,,is ,,you dont know what the reason is,,,, it could be 1 thing,,it could be 50,,,, it could last 2 days,,it could last 10,,,
am I helping?
Im not trying to be ambiguous,,, I am jsut trying to put a mentality into how I cap,,,and I think its better to be vague,,,this will help you see things and isolate points that make sense to you,,,,
washingotn is falling apart,,,

Lakers will be playing VERYVERY consevative from now on,,, No matter who they play fromt his point forward,,,look for unders,,,,and NEVER covering double digit point spreads,,,
I am not sayign playthe UNDER tonight,,, or take the opposing team tonight,,, jsut watch for trends isolating the negative,,,,,
enough,,
good luck,,,

One thing I think happens is that when a line opens overnight at -13 or so, it almost always drops at least a half point before the game to -12.5...subtle movement, but you never know when it'll help you out.

Pinnacle's lines are almost too sharp, so I end up playing the money line most of the time...
