Overnight Grind : Market Makers VS Sharps October 23, 2023

Market Makers are pivotal figures in sports betting, shaping the market by setting initial lines. They employ a risk management strategy, starting with lower bet limits to assess early betting patterns and then increasing limits as the market adjusts.

For PRO subscribers, the morning sharp report is a valuable resource, summarizing overnight developments. Updates throughout the day keep you informed about changes, with the final update around 4-5 pm EST. Any later movements often result from square money before game time.

To bolster your decision-making, use my betting models alongside the sharp report. When both sharp money and the models align, it's a strong indicator for making informed bets.

Now, let's delve into today's showdown between the market makers and the sharps.


RECAP of yesterday's games: Our last pick last week was on the under In Long Island and it ended up being a barnburner. Last week was a tough one for sharps but they did very well yesterday in the NFL going 5-1.

Now, it may feel like a light day in the sports betting arena, especially with the MLB playoffs and Monday Night Football (MNF) hogging most of the spotlight. But, rest assured, there’s still action to dissect, and potential dimes to be won.

Flipping over to the NHL ice, there's just one game in our sights today. The Habs are in Buffalo territory, and here's the skinny on the lines: BetOnline swung the gate open with the Sabres pegged at -158. But with a whiff of steam from bettors, that line edged up to -180. As of now, BetOnline's got it sitting at -177. However if you're shopping around, the consensus in the market leans slightly heavier at about -185.

Switching gears to the baseball diamond, there’s a buzz around Arizona as potential value plays, but those Phillies are proving to be juggernauts on their home turf. While the market's needle hasn’t quivered much, some books have swung the line to -185. For a glimpse into the initial sentiment, BetOnline had started the day with the Phillies at -165. It skyrocketed to -188 early in the AM, only to see some love coming back for Arizona, nudging the line back down to the low -160s. Houston’s game? Stable as a rock on the moneyline front. Nothing wild or wacky to report there.

Now, for all the pigskin aficionados, keep your eyes peeled for the MNF line movements. I’ll be diving deeper into that in the "Bottom Line" article.

At this juncture, the waters seem calm; there's no sharp money causing ripples in any active sports for the day. Essentially, no hot game to sink our teeth into right now. But as always, in the fluctuating world of sports betting, things could change in a snap.

RECAP: none
