Overnight Grind : Market Makers VS Sharps October 8, 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 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.
RECAP: Sharps were right about the Mariners. Pending is Houston, the under in Nevada, and SJST.
We look for sharps to be much more active in MLB now that the NHL and NBA seasons are over however this is not the sport that sharps are the most excited about since market makers tend to have very low max limits early on most of the games due to many variables in MLB. Weather is one of them and probably the most important.
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.
I have a feeling the Broncos cursed the shit out of me. I spent all of last night and tonight talking shit about them. At a certain moment, I was in the car myself and I started screaming like Sheppard was screaming yesterday "RUN THE BALL". I had money on the Blue jays and they had a terrible first inning. The same shit happened in New York!! Terrible.
We have a lot going on on Saturday. Let's take the highest-wagered games in terms of tickets and money and let's look at the line movements. In case you would like more info on other games, make sure to visit my channel in discord and ask all the questions you want however if you mention the Broncos I will ban you.
Top 3 CFB games:
TCU opened a -5 favorite 5 days ago and the handle jumped from 58% to 78% with sharp money hitting the -5.5. The book moved the line to -7 the following day and that key number will usually attract money on the other side and it did. Sitting at -6.5 -120 this can move again.
Tennessee and LSU are expected to be in a high-scoring contest as per the sharp money. The total moved a full 2 points from 61.5 to 63.5 on October 3rd. Money didn't stop coming on the over and the book settled at 65 on Wednesday and since then, it dropped a little to 64.5. Tickets and the handle are still dominated by over money.
Market maker Betonline opened Texas at -5 and sharp money came in on that number and all the way up to -6.5 on October 4th. It's obvious they had info that Ewer would be back. Yesterday the book made a move and pushed the line to -9 with news that Gabriel might be out. That move had nothing to do with sharp money. The line is now sitting at -8 and I wouldn't touch it unless you take an alternative line at -6.5 or better.
In baseball, it makes things so much easier to follow and track when we only have 4 games. In Cleveland, the book is still being careful with the opening of their max limits however a couple of sharps hit the 5k max limit on Tampa a couple of times and the book dropped the line to -103 from a soft +134 opening.
There is no movement in the other games and we have yet to get a line for the Mets game.
Good luck today
