How many here bet the BEST line?

What line do you bet, or do you know?

If a line opens - 5, closes at 8. Do you screen watch and get the 5 or 8? Or do you do you bet the -7 and not know?

obviously we would all love to have -5 in that spot.. but is it really possible by merely screen watching?

slow moving books possibly I suppose.

I watch the screen all the time, but that doesn't assure you can get the best number everytime. Last minute action can change the line. I'll take what I think is a fair number and can only hope through experience that I got the best line. I would estimate that I'll get the best line somewhere between 60-70% of the time. Impossible to get it 100% of the time.
