I know many use line movements in their handicapping - could anyone give me their take on a line movement - what it means? indication of smart money? etc.
Thanks

Line Movements
- Thread starter oldreader
- Start date
It all depends on the time of movement...was it when the line first came out on Sunday? Or was it just being pounded all the way through the week? Was there an injured player? Did it change right before kickoff? What is the concensus on the game (*********.com has good info on that)
For example, if the consensus is 70% Notre Dame and 30% Air Force, and then right before kickoff the spread goes from A.F. + 10.5 to A.F. + 10...that could indicate smart money really pounding the number, b/c the public was on Notre Dame...

"RESPECT" the line move, espically the early ones.
Sharps will hammer weak opening numbers until the perceived weakness is balanced to a point where "line value" is diminished. Sharps are very good at anticipating the direction the line will move and will bet into/against the line anytime they see a potential play that meets their measurement. They are not always right but they don't call them "Sharps" for nothing.
Do you homework and use good handicapping skills.
