How much does the non-biggest bettors move the line? Teddy states that the answer to that is a bit murky.
The top notch syndicates have plenty of followers that have big bankrolls and it really takes so much money to move a line in the NFL.
In the 2014 NFL betting market there aren't many big bettors that are the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Dave Malinsky now joins the show to add to this topic. Dave isn't sure right now who is moving the money, cause if he knew that then he would be the sharpest arrow in the quiver.
What he senses that is happening is that there is more of a global market place than ever before and there are large amounts of money coming in thinking they are on the sharper side, regardless of the particular numbers that are in play.
Dave states that he has made more gameday bets already this year, that he had not prepared to make the night before, than ever before. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati were prime examples of this yesterday, in which he had no Idea Saturday night that he was gonna bet on those two teams, but then the right price was handed to him on Sunday and he bet & cashed both.
What makes the least sense to RJ is that the Syndicates aren't betting the Ravens at +1, but are betting them at -2.5. Dave states though that there are allot of individuals across the globe that can look like sharp player because they have deep pockets, but in reality are not sharps at all. That is the perfect opportunity for the contrarian approach to the NFL.
