ASU vs Stanford

All day the line went from pick to -1.5 ( Stanford).

And ASU is destroying Stanford by 30 points.

Anyone watching this game?

Yeah, I hate to say it but I was a fool and bet Stanford pretty big today.

I follow the pac but the line got me thinking s i left the game alone and only bet on first half Cal.

USC shot lights out in the second half. Impressive.

Hey rm, thanks for the compliments today. One of the key things that I look at is what a line should have opened up at taking into consideration Home/Away game and injuries. Remember, that there are such things as reverse and double reverse line movements.

Example:
Team A vs. Team B
If Team A is supposed to be favored by 2 points and they are playing away, and the line opens for Team A -4 points, then that is a good thing. If the public is betting on Team A and the line goes down to -3 for Team A, then that is not necessarily a bad thing. Remember, Vegas tries to throw off both Sharp betters and Squares. Of course, the possibilities for line movements are endless and sometimes you just have to go with your gut feeling.

Today I was leaning on USC over Oregon even with the line dropping almost 1.5 points for USC and the public was on USC. Hope this helps a bit, and wish you the best for all your future investments.


God Bless,

FH
