Overnight Grind : Market Makers VS Sharps February 4 2022
Anthony P
While most of us are sleeping, Market Makers and Sharps are adjusting the markets so that by the time we wake up and are ready to bet, the markets have adjusted in favour of the sportsbook. Let's take a quick look at some games where the sportsbooks had to make some adjustments based on heavy sharp interest.
Market Makers are sportsbooks that are first to post a line and set the market. They will control risk by setting their bet limits lower when posting a spread or moneyline beforeeveryone else. Once the market adjusted, they max their bet limits.
Sharps were bang on with the over in Detroit. Surprisingly, we saw a different set of sharps late in the day buying back on the under. They were wrong. The Sharps went heavy on the Hawks last night and they were right on this one also. Young did play last night as i expected and he was HUGE with 43 pts! If you are a sharp and bet the under 146,145.5 or 144.5 in Delaware well congrats! The game finished at 144.
No NHL until February 7th so it will all be about Basketball.
In the NBA, I don't want to disappoint you guys, so ill try and update this article in the afternoon, however, for now, there is barely any sharp interest or movement. The sharp report indicates sharp interest in DALLAS UNDER 213.5 and NEW ORLEANS OVER 221.5 however those moves/interest comes from an American US book and not the market maker book I have access to.
The Bulls started the morning like the team that the squares will be heavy on. They own over 90% of the tickets and the handle. The line hasn't moved. The Celtics and Nuggets look like being the 2 other popular teams that will drive lots of Square interest.
In CBB, we can find mode movement today The sharp highlighted the following games with sharp interest:
PRINCETON +1.5 (from +1.5 to -1.5)
COLORADO STATE -2.5 (from -2.5 to -3.5)
WISCONSIN MILWAUKEE +6.5 (from +6.5 to +5.5)
Totals are usually getting beaten up in CBB. In the Colorado State game, the total went from 128.5 to 133 with obvious sharp interest on the over however a different set of sharps are starting to buy back on the under hence, not making the sharp report due to sharp interest on both sides of the total.
The Oakland game is the most wagered game up to now, it's a game that was supposed to be played yesterday and PPD to today due to weather. The Whale has a 20k bet on Northern Kentucky.
Wright State and Richmond are leading the pack in terms of the most popular square interest. Both teams own over 80% of the tickets. Wright State also owns over 90% of the handle however the line did not move from the -4. As for Richmond, they barely own 20% of the handle and the line moved in favour of St Bonnie.
Good luck today
