I bet 2000 on the Yankees -118 hoping to get scalping but now the line totally went against me. The Best line I see out there now is Baltimore +112. So I would be losing 6 cents. With 70% of the Public on the Yankees, the line is moving against them, I don't understand it. Do you think I should take the +112 now or do you think If I wait it will get better close to game time ?

Well, eating the $120 would be a lot easier to live with compared to -$2360.

I wouldn't think that anyone trying to grind out small profits on leads\scalps would stick their neck out for over 2 dimes on a side (but I could be wrong).

70% of the public might not even out One Wiseguy group that has some respect, thats why the number is going the other way.

wait til game time... you should get some action back toward the yanks.. if not, buy out of what you dont want..

when taking leads, its important to like the side that your playing first.. then if you get stuck with some, at least you like the play... does that make sense..

Yes. Also important that your lead never involves Jaret Wright.

Balt is +114 at BOS now, I am sure it will be bet up to past +118 right before game time, you should be ok
