They only significant yards they were giving up against the pass where in meaningless games/situations.

People who asked for my insights were pretty much told this: Shutdown secondary, aggressive scoring defense, and an overhyped Denver team/Manning storyline that lacked physicality against legitimate defensive threats. I even told people to wait for number to rise to +3 before they bet it, easy game.

He bets my picks and receives free poker coaching/range analysis in exchange for getting me action on Nascar. He is sitting next to me as I type. I posted on 2+2 that I liked Seattle right after it opened and even told people to wait until the spread moved to +3. I am not going to waste my time searching, but I made more than one post about why this was a solid investment opportunity.

Also here is quote from a short summary I gave to someone yesterday asking why I liked Seattle +3. I do not know how to put quotes from pm's into my posts but it can be confirmed, lol:

"expecting to see it come down to Denver skill position receivers getting separation from the best secondary in the NFL. Haven't seen any team do that in the past few months, so Manning should have some really tight throwing windows."

Hit the lottery and lost the ticket.

Really annoying when stupid crap like that happens. I've forgotten to put in my password to confirm like 10 times. Went upstairs to check my balance rubbing my hands together making that Scrooge face and it gets replaced with the "wtf is this" face.

Disgusting.

Three is such a critical number, around 10% push probability and worth close to $.25 when it moves from 2.5 to 3, so doubt it will get there. But all the Peyton build up hype and storyline might push more casual money in Denver's direction.

FWIW when the SB line opened, EC said Denver would get action and it would likely go to 2 and maybe even 3.
+1 EC putting in work despite the man and his oppressive 2+2 authoritah. Like Peter Tosh says, "How long can you keep a good man down." Rastafari forever.

+1 Play on Playa!

Not sure what they are doing, but I have lots of Nascar action coming up if any bookies want to take some of it? Love to balance books with some of my action if anyone needs it.

Why does everyone think this? I've heard this over and over again but it's a misconception. In this particular game I think maybe they would because of volume, but in general this isn't true.

I knew scrub sports bettors(equivalent to a poker grinder) back in the day who claimed to have made a decent living for many years using systems that fade the direction of public action. Not sure how it works, thank god my system is me and I have a keen eye for sports EV, self reliance.

In this case, I think they were willing to stick at 2.5 and take Denver money at a favorable line rather than post 3 and possibly get middled by any Seahawks money that was waiting to pounce.

No. Legit question. I don't do much sports betting. Then if books don't worry about balancing their action, why do lines move?

they want to get as much equal action as possible. it just doesn't work out very often. short of laying off action. there is not much you can do other than move the line. I don't think books mind taking a side every so often. They def needed Seattle and they had an enormous Hold %.

they used to lay off back in the day. not much of that going on now from what I hear. really the SB was the ideal situation for the books. Joe square loved Denver and bet them hard. all the sharps were on Seattle. Sharps/Books on one side, squares on the other. typically disaster for the square.

THis is true generally. In this instance the books had 2 options. Stay at -2.5 and take lopsided action on Denver hoping for a Seattle win. Or go to 3, take lopsided action on Denver -2.5 AND take action on Sea +3 risking getting middled if the game fell on the 3. Option #1 was less risky.
