Sharps

[jimmysingh9]

I think where I originally came up with the thread was when I was doing my research of games and analysis, in the back of my head, I am thinking what is the line movement of this game, is this the sharp side. I strongly believe alot of people are doing this and it is screwing up our own analysis.

I think sports betting in the end comes down to any other profession. If you have skill at your trade, you should be able to be profitable at it. If you know your sports, can handicap, look at numbers/trends and win, you dont need to worry about sharp action and other stuff. Sure, looking at other cappers opinions do help, but you have to get through that intial stage and find people you trust and not just website numbers.

thats why i love this site, we talk about sports betting information, not just random plays thrown out there. I dont think once so far I have read about someone being hot or someone going 50-0 or 0-50. We just talk sports betting.

The one thing I learned here that on top of handicapping skill is you need betting skills, which includes having more than one book, finding the best number, getting good numbers early. These are things that I thought of but never realized the full importance of them. Not all of us can do this. I cannot even do this fully because I am not a full-time bettor, but its great things to try to practice when you can
