Sharps trying to lower the number only to hammer OKst even harder as that is the real side they want, only at a different number


This could be true, (only can we hope) that some sharps laid money down on Arizona to move the line down just to hammer Okie Lite. Either way im going to second guess it

What does that mean, "sharps"?

Sharp bettors look at every possible angle and understand the specific match up more than we can ever imagine.

So is the suggestion that these sharps are out placing bets to draw the line one direction and placing bigger bets the opposite way later?

If so that seems far fetched and highly risky to me. But I'm one week in to sportbetting so I don't know.
This is my hope. It does happen quite often too, I'm hoping this is an example of it

Maybe we're all just missing something here.



The problem Im seeing is nobody has an idea if OKST is even good. They are starting a true freshman on the road and no longer have Justin Blackmon. Was Arizona that bad last week? I see they put up over 600 in total yards last week.

That was my original inclination is that ok st could somehow keep up with the scoring.

Are you saying you are a sharp? Or have access to sharp information?

Most of the time dogs and unders carry more value.

ok, i always thought that sharps were people that could easily recogize the perceived value of getting points and what not

up until last year in NFL this was spot on, hopefully it will ring true this year
