Interesting Observation

Question

Download Yahoo Sports and follow the line movement on there. Take screenshots in the morning and compare over 2 hour periods. Pay attention to the line movement 20 mins before each game and pay attention to the LATE movement 10 mins before.

I've noticed over the past month that paying attention to the line movement on this app literally right before start of the game, will allow you to make the best decision for that game. Happened yesterday with BOS, line dropped an hour before, then 20-30 mins before started rising by 2-4 cent increments. Happened last week with the pirates and cubs. Happened yesterday with a low cards line, the line dropped even lower 5-10 mins before the game, in addition to the already low line.

Something definite to look in to

Currently looking at this cards game again. I screenshot the line at 11:53am and it stood at -117, since then it has gone down to -112 and back up to -115, if it reaches 120-125 before game time without dropping one more time, Cardinals is the play.

So what is your logic behind this other than a few correlations of a team winning when the line moved in its favor right before the start of the game? Have you seen this happen and the team lost? In this theory, how many have lost and how many have won and what's your sample size? Elaborate.

NOmoose · Answer

this would probably have to have a bigger sample size.  Where do you find yahoo sports, and what do we have to download?

plchris · Answer

Nothing logged. CLEARLY this shouldn&#39;t be the only factor determining your decision but it should be the last thing to consider. Try it out for yourself today and see how it plays out. I don&#39;t have the time to log this but have been observing it the past month especially on the games I&#39;ve lost money on due to late line movement on this app.

plchris · Answer

App Store on an iPhone and search yahoo sports. This is the BEST sports app to keep up with multiple sports, lines, and matchup previews. The MLB section has been off as of late, probably just need to do an update I love this app and it&#39;s the most organized sports app out there.

HoosierBettor · Answer

Now you just sound like a Yahoo app salesman.  GL anyway and if you&#x27;re serious, track it for at least a few days or 10&#x2B; games and get back to us on what you find.

NOmoose · Answer

cool, thanks!

plchris · Answer

I do don&#39;t I lol but seriously once you download this app whether it be because of my observation or just for sport tracking purposes, you&#39;ll learn to love this app for all your scores, news and lines. Much better than espn, cbs sports anything else that&#39;s out there. I work most evenings from 5-11 so tracking this will be difficult but I&#39;ll do my best. Right now I&#39;m paying attention to the cardinals and orioles.

MY SPORTSBOOK CARDS LINE -123 NOW

plchris · Answer

Slowly rising. If I see this line on Yahoo Sports to be -120-125 without dropping in the last 10 mins I&#39;m pounding it. Cardinals are 26-8 after a loss.

If you find an edge, don&#x27;t bother sharing it.Ppl will insult you over it, then use it themselves.Most ppl on this site are total losers and insult people, but ironicallytail these ppl.When you find your edge, keep it quiet. Nobody here is here to help you, or cares about you winning, only what they can get out of you. Don&#x27;t bother explaining yourself. Just data mine and look for ideas in a few gem posts, and ignore all the haters.

plchris · Answer

Line dropped to -113, not good for STL. GREAT for Cubbies. If it doesn&#39;t go over the initial line of -117-120 it is a definite no play on the Cardinals and a strong consideration on the Cubbies. Hot bats&#x2B;No Holliday&#x2B;Before All Star Break&#x2B; Negative Line Movement&#x2B; Low line&#x2B;Previous games played would = a play on the Cubbies

plchris · Answer

Thanks for the advice Emmett. BOL

NOmoose · Answer

love the app already.  easy access to scores.

plchris · Answer

The BEST. If the MLB tab doesn&#39;t reload and update regularly use the Trending or Live tab right above it.

CoronaPicks · Answer

I could not disagree more.  If you find an edge (or think you did) why not post it?  If you post it now you have what 200 people all looking at it.  If even one of those people post something useful to make your edge that much better it was a win for everyone.Sure you are going to take garbage but who cares?  90% of the people here just want to make money doing something they love!  It just happens that the other 10% are very loud.JMOCorona:)

plchris · Answer

Of course, I&#39;ve been on Covers long enough to realize this. I just want people to make money, same way I look into other people&#39;s posts to see what their edge is. Can&#39;t take everything into consideration but when you know how to filter things out, you make for a great combination of factors that help you make money at the end of the day.In regards to the Cards..the play right now at 3:20pm EST is the Cubs and NO Score 1st Inning. The line is down to -113 again, unless there&#39;s a sudden increase back up to -117 &#x2B; this line is a sucker bet for Card backers

Morrisbm · Answer

Its real tough to pull the trigger on Cubs over Cards. Especially when are Cardinals are 26-8 after a loss.

plchris · Answer

There&#39;s a reason the line is so low

Morrisbm · Answer

My book just moved from -112 to -120 in a matter of 5 min. Lets see how your theory plays out.Cards is the play for me&#xD;&#xA;BOL buddy

Pay4Life · Answer

Thanks plchris for pointing this out. I feel like a noob for not trying the Yahoo sports app but in a couple minutes already out shines cbs/espn apps.
