Most bettors have no idea how much line movement is costing them.

In this video I break down how sportsbooks actually move odds and lines, and why you usually want to grab overs earlier and can often get better numbers on unders later when hype pushes the line up.

What you’ll learn:
The difference between the line (the number) and the odds (the price)
How books move odds first, then the line when money keeps coming in
Why good news and public money usually push over lines higher throughout the day

How hype and streaks can turn an under from 21.5 into 25.5 by tipoff
Simple timing rules: have an edge first, then understand when it usually pays to be early vs late
