What is RLM supposed to tell us exactly? If the team you bet on has a line that's dropping, you would assume that the line you got, isn't as valuable as it was when you bet it. However, on the other side, that would mean the public is steaming the opposite pick, which means you are on the other side of the public, which is generally viewed as a good thing.

What's the big to do about RLM and how much weight should be put into it when evaluating your plays?

Not exactly DCrews, RLM is when a larger percentage of the bets(usually meaning the public is on one side), however the line still moves in the direction of the smaller percentage of bets. For instance if the public is hammering WV -5 against TT with say 78% of all bets coming in on WV. However, the line moves to WV-3.5 indicating that although a smaller percentage; larger dollar amounts are on TT( usually assumed to be sharp $$) ultimately moving the line in TT direction.
