Line Move Question

LarryTalbot · Jun 7, 2005

This is regards to the Pitt/Oriole game.

Line opened up Pirates -109/-110

Throughout the whole day, gamblers were taking the Orioles and high % were on them til the game started. Why on earth did it move to pirates -130's at gametime? Are sharps on the pirates? If so, I got suckered into it thinking pitt was a high % play.

It's 5-0 Orioles and if I think sharps were on pirates, then I need to re-evaluate my capping.

Thoughts please on this line shift.

Could have been a big money drop on the Pirates.. A $100,000 investor would wipe out all the little $100 to $1000 bets.. If the Sharps were on Pitt, they probably will come back and win. lol

I know it's not over yet, but when you see a linemovement like that, usually that means you are on the right side. Another on that caught my eye is the San Diego total dropping to 7.5.. The under looks like the smart play.
