Chasing Pointspreads

Fri Jan 13, 2017 2:02 pm

I'm not sure it's worth it to chase pointspreads - at least not in College and Pro Basketball.

They change so quick that by the time I get to the Book, 85% of one or both Books have changed them. And if they haven't, you risk getting one side and then having the other side move on you before you get your wager down. Then you are stuck chasing. Of course, you can be careful and make sure you get the soft line first.

At least if the ML moves, it's not such a problem as you can still grab the other side and just make a little less or lose a little. It's just a bit exasperating chasing the pointspreads. I waste a lot of time chasing them down and not finding a play on the vast majority of them by the time I get there. On lesser sports, the pointspreads don't change so fast.
