Default HOW MUCH THE BEST DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE BY BEATING THE CLOSING LINE?

I KNOW QUITE A FEW WILL ARGUE THIS TOPIC AND SAY THAT A PERSON THAT BEATS THE OPENING LINE BY AS MANY POINTS AS A PERSON THAT BEATS THE CLOSING LINE. I DON'T THINK ITS EVEN CLOSE OUT THE 2. I WILL ARGUE THIS TOPIC WITH ANYONE.

I would argue if I had any ideas what you just wrote. Look into some grammar lessons.

What about the high % of win rate ATS when just picking the straight up winner in the NFL?

if a game opens at 8 goes to 9 on a friday then goes to 10' by kick off.....i feel good getting the 9. MHO is beating the biggest move no matter when it happens is what matters. I have to admit I read the post 3 times and is not the clearest.

EXAMPLE: IF A GAME OPENS 7 AND YOU LAY THE 7 AND THE GAME CLOSES 10. HOW MUCH OF AN EDGE DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE BY LAYING THE 7 COMPARED TO TAKING +10?

Nope, I'm with the other guys. The problem isn't reading comprehension; it was the unclear delivery.

THE OPENING LINE IS -7 AND CLOSES 10 AND I LAY THE -7 COMPARED TO TAKING +10. WHAT IS SO HARD ABOUT THAT TO FIGURE OUT?

To answer the ?, I would say the guy who lays the -7 has more of an edge than the guy taking +10 later. Just a guess, I'm no pro.

Well in order for me to comprehend you have to be able to communicate clearly. Mumbling bookie jargon does not qualify. I don't speak it. Your topic was confusing, at best. Do old time bookies like you require shoe shines often? If so, obtain a remedial grammar guide and study that while someone more worthy than I shines your shoes. Then, and just maybe then, I will be able to at least attempt to comprehend your greatness and experience, you are too kind to share with us.

Figure out how many cents it would cost you to buy down from 10 to 7 (at least 60 cents) and there's one way to look at your edge...

Another is to compare the Money Lines between a 7 point favorite and a 10 point favorite...

Lastly, it's worth at least 5% long-term imho...

ok i got it now.....i think ...and i am not being a smart ass...not afraid to learn. but shouldn't it be how big of an edge laying -7 versus -10. Teach me cause if i had that scenario I am sure i would be on -7 AND +10.

Rain, i guess iv'e been doing this too long. I guess 35 years qualifies me as a old timer, Both writing and putting up numbers. I must be a little different, because i didn't have to read it twice, knew exactly what you you were talking about.
