OK, very newbie-ish question here. please don't laugh. I'm serious.
I take it "Steam" is when there is a move in a certain direction - is it only a "large" move, or is it considered any move? Is it the wiseguys that cause the move (i.e. only they have enough money to move the line that much in a short time)?
What about "fading the public": the public may have a majority of the #plays on a team, but the wiseguys often has the most money, right (e.g. bigger events)?
So if the public is on a certain side, that is the "square" side, and is usually less money/volume than the wiseguy side?
Is it easy to tell when a line move is due to wiseguys vs. the public? (Guess: one is a fast move, the other is over time???)
I'm sure I'll have follow-up questions to this, but help is appreciated...
