i see that 5dimes dropped a line for hopkins/taylor rematch at hopkins -150/Taylor +110. Any early leans on what you guys like, thought most of you guys liked taylor for the rematch. any idea on how you think the line will move in this one? Thanks, you guys are so consistent!

Try not to play the "feeler lines" at 5dimes unless you really like the play or you think the line will move.
When they open their own lines, the juice is extremely high. They put out a BS line like -150 / +110 to see if either side gets action at those prices. If they get action on both sides they will change the line to -140 / +120. If they get more action on Hokins the line will stay -150 but +130 back. If Taylor gets more action the line would stay +110 but -130 on Hop. Obviously if theres huge money on one side the line would change completely which is why you have to play these BS lines sometimes.
Now could be one of those times, if nothing else for scalping reasons only. Most people thought Taylor would open as the favorite, so did I. Most of the money in first fight was on Taylor, I expect the same here. I don't think +money on Taylor will be around long, take it now if want it. I'm taking Taylor +110 and hoping to get +130 or more on Hopkins later.
Check out these other "feeler lines"...
Barrera -1050 / Peden +550
Cotto -1200 / Branco +600
Brutal...they will close the gap on these fights eventually and give you better value on one or both of the sides. But if you really like one of the choices and you think the line will move against you...

thanks for the in-depth response. i didn't even think about the heavy juice, that is brutal. think i might take a look at taylor getting the plus money. thanks again for the winners week in week out.
