Have been thinking about this for a few years, but since it happened to me this week, I figured I'd ask the question to see what everyone else does:

When do you place your wagers during a typical college week? I would imagine that most "sharp" players get down early, and the "square" player gets down late (not going to get into the "what constitues a sharp/square" argument here) in the week. However, I have also seen some people that wait for a line movement a certain way and get down the other way when the line moves. How many people do that? Do you have any indicators that you use to determine if the line will actually move your way? If the line doesn't move your way, or moves the other way, I am assuming that most have a line that they won't cross, in that the value is lost.

I've had a few movements against me, since I got down early (doesn't mean that I am sharp though, LOL). One is costing me almost a FG (Idaho), and I am wondering if I wouldn't be better off waiting on games as the year proceeds.


Just trying to pick brains here,

heatwave,,

heres the thing,,,, with Foots,,, I never make a play till the Day before,,,, or the day of,,it is all PUBLIC perception,,, let me repeat that,,,nothing matters except PUBLIC perception,,

the day before a game you will find out who is healthy,,, if you know what side your going to take ona game, then you watch that line each day, and if it looks to be loseing value then you need to Take a Piece ,,,, then the day before or the day of, if there is still value, make your final bet,,

with NBA It is all according to how the TEAM playd the Night before, and if there is Injury issues,,, so I already know the side Im gonna play, If they Played GREAT that night, then I will make my bet before Midnight, KNOWING that the line will climb the following day most likely,,,

If they Played Poorly, then I wait till the next day and Watch the line Drop in my favor,,,then make the play with a better number,,

good luck,,, it takes time,,, and as you bet you will get the Hang of which way a line will move,,,
