How do you steam chase?

I'm new and inexperienced. Gambling is a craft I want to learn and master.

Steam chasing has come up in old threads. How do I execute it? I think it means if I see Team A +110 move to -105, I bet Team A -105.

Is this correct?

Ive found if you bring the water to a boil while the eggs are in the pot, then turn off the heat and let them set for 15 minutes they are about perfect....but to each her own.

Some people say that steam chasers are the bottom feeders of the sports betting scene.

Shows a total lack of class if you ask me :pop:

A lack of class is charging people -110 to bet on a game. They have no problems having an advantage, but when people try to even the odds they get all pissy.

Which package do you recommend? Standard package is $99 monthly, professional is $299 monthly. Thanks in advance.

It's all relative to your bankroll. I'm on the pro, but I believe the only difference is that the cheaper one has a 60 second delay with CRIS and maybe Olympic or Grande. But you can fire in plenty of good bets at slow moving books by just looking at real time Pinny and a few others.

Re: How do you steam chase?

the boards label steam as a move by a bunch of sportsbooks due to a syndicate move. the original number is no longer available anywhere==unless you have a local who holds lines. therefore you are doomed to bet a bad number--worse you are doomed a loser--forget it--you cannot win chasing staem.

This is the best post made in this thread so far

Though it won't stop those who are non-handicappers from using it as their go-to strategy

If you're not getting the pre-move # then it's not steam chasing. Saying you can't win chasing stale numbers is the same as saying the originators who moved the market can't win. Usually if you're dropping 50k+ to move a number in a liquid mkt, you have a large bankroll from years of profitable fanning and will win in the long run.
 
Re: How do you steam chase?

Meh some guys with a syndicate behind them can move a number without placing a bet, they can just leak their play and the books who are so scared shitless will move a number on hearsay.

There is no empirical data to back up anyones claims about steam, whether getting the originator is good, or buying the opposite side once it peaks. I have tracked it for almost 20 years and you cant identify why the steam came or who started it to if it was a combination of several factors.

Seriously, if youre new then just pick a team and hope. You have just about as much chance as anyone else. Always try to get the best number you can when you bet, but dont worry too much about anything else. And if you win the first bet you ever make quit because that will guarantee you will have made more money than 99.999999% of anyone who bets on sports.
 
Re: How do you steam chase?

What kind of empirical tests did you run to test its proftability?

I have a database for bases and NFL and NCAA football, they are pretty deep in terms of wins and losses and ATS and situational results. I thikn my baseball ones will go back to the mid 70s if I open them all up. The NCAA ones go back to 1981 and the NFL one goes back to 1984. Although I dont usually go that far due to the 2 point conversion. And similar to NCAA when they introduced overtime.

But I also have a set that has openers, moves and closers. Those arent nearly as extensive. I think the NFL has full season back to 2000 and part of 1999, and the NCAA football one has back to 1997. Bases is a mish mash but at least most of the teams back to 2000. Still works in progress on a couple teams and also getting records pre 2000 is pretty difficult if not impossible.

I would say my databases are the most complete of anything out there. And maybe have been for awhile. Thats why when people spew out stats or facts I can usually counter or supprt what they are saying by doing a couple quick searches.

The problem is they still only have at most 3 different sources for lines and movement, so even though they have that they still dont have everything.

But they are basically feel good things because I never ever claim that past results are a good indicator of future expectations. Because just because Team A is 12-0 against Team B under a certain situation since say 1985, that means nothing since this is 2011 and more than likely none of the players in this game were in any of those games that made that trend/stat what it is. Nor do I think that a 3 point move that lost (both on original and obviously closer) means anything versus a game that moved 2 points and covered the spread by 1 (because of the move) IMO any one point win is luck and getting the 1 point doesnt make you a genius it just means you got lucky. What would make you a genius is not betting that game but playing the 5 point dog that won SU by 17. At least on a semi consistent basis.

Edit, I also have an NBA and NCAA basketball database but they are in the beginning stages as I find NCAA hoops to be fairly easy and I stopped betting NBA regular season in about 2004, so their priority was set back a bit.
