Heres the Question,,,,

lets say the line of a college football game or NFL game moves 1-2 points right before kickoff,,, does anyone think statistically it will Hurt you???

The point with my question is the same one that FUELS the TEASER HATERS!!! they say the 6 or 7 points WONT Typically HELP....

and Please I know the KEY NUMBERS,,, Blah blah,,,

Im just saying,,, with foots,,, dont you think if you followed one of the SHARP BOOKS you might be able to LOCK UP 55% wins following STEAM????

all the best guys,,,

EVERY HALF POINT makes a difference to a different extent in every sport. You must realize this!! In short, there really is nothing you can do as a bettor to improve your chances of winning longterm more then SHOPPING FOR THE ABSOLUTE BEST NUMBER!!!

Steam has been pretty good on College Foots but not as good on the NFL.

Quite frankly, to me steam in the NFL is non-existant. Squares moving the number does not constitute steam in my eyes.

imo. Naturally you want the best number available when you bet in any sport. The NFL is a pick the winner league for betting purposes. I am not sure what the exact % is, but winners on the field will cover the spread a high percentage of the time. I usually look for dogs I feel can win outright, and play them on the money line. I never play a favorite on the ML. Line-movement in the NFL is all based on public perception, and money wagerered to back up that perception.

It just seems with college,,, when you see 15 mins before kickoff a Toledo Spread SWING 2 points,,,, HMMmmmmmm something is UP,,,, and it just APPEARS to me,,, to always be the right side,,, Now this is with COLLEGE ONLY,,, NOT I repeat NOT the NFL,,,,,

One point in hoops is very important. One point in football not nearly as important.

Shop for the best number, use good money management, do not chase, and do not wager for action only. Makes life much better even when losing.
