Yep .. a tell needs 'back up' from previous hands. If a guy 'always' acts in a 'classic' tell manner then it's not a tell at all, it's 'normal' and has no 'tell' worth.
I would assume that a player making a bet and then sitting back with crossed arms is ready to do battle. It doesn't mean he's made, just that he's not going anywhere.
One thing I have picked up from "Live at the Bike" is that when someone bets and then scratches their ear/nose/chin area then they probably aren't very strong in comparison to the board. Although this involves arm movement it's not really arm 'placement' which is what I think you are more interested in here. GL
