Overnight Grind : Market Makers VS Sharps November 4, 2022

Market Makers are sportsbooks that are the first to post a line and set the market. They will control risk by lowering their bet limits when posting a spread or Moneyline before everyone else. Once the market adjusted, they max their bet limits. Talbot has been hot and won his last 8 starts but don't discount Jarry he's been solid this year.

We look for sharps to be much more active in the NHL and NBA since the MLB is almost over however this is not these are not sports that sharps are the most excited about since market makers tend to have very low max limits early on most of the games. The NBA sees much more action than the NHL.

For VIPs, your best start would be to look at the morning sharp report, which will give you an excellent summary of what happened overnight. In the afternoon, the sharp report updates and games might be added or removed based on what happened in the morning. The last update is around 4-5 pm EST and not much movement is expected after that. If there is movement, it will usually be square money loading up on games before they start.

Another tool that can be used with the sharp report is the MLB model on our website. Comparing the sharp money with our projection can help you make your own picks if both the model and sharp agree.

The format of this article will be changed once we will have multiple sports running every day and the focus will go back to looking at lines that moved the most overnight.

RECAP of yesterday's games: What a mess yesterday, The Kraken made the sharps look like gods while Calgary and Golden State losses made them look like rookies.

There is not much happening in the NHL therefore we will jump into the NBA immediately.

The Irving saga had an effect on the total and the under. Betonline opened the total at 228.5 in Washington and it dropped to 222.5 this morning. We have no sharp money at the book but this drop is pretty significant and there is smart money in other markets that pushed this total down.

The Pistons are in the sharp money section of the sharp report and the sharp started hitting this line around 8 am this morning. The Cavs owned 75% when money flooded on the Piston forcing the books to drop the line to -6 and -5.5. Cleveland still owns 58% of the handle. Based on the max bet limits, the book isn't still sure if this number is correct since you can't bet more than 5k.

In Portland today the Pels opened at -5 and the line flew to -10.5 with the news of Curry and Green being out for tonight's game. There is no sharp interest on the Pels however we do have a sharp signal on the under. The under was hit at 231.5 and it was wagered down to 228.5

In CFB, Boston College made it on the sharp report however was removed this morning due to sharp money on Duke. Uconn and the under have been on the report for a while but the lines haven't moved much. Uconn opened at 14.5 and moved to 15.5 and the under opened at 41 and it dropped to 40. The Squares also like Uconn and with all that money on them, you will find Umass in the book's liability section of the sharp report.

To recap: Uconn and the under, Pels under, Washington under

Good luck today
