Default when the lines change, will it really matter to you?

Stupid me! I missed a winning game again.

Honestly, I wanted to pick Georgia Tech over Boston College. Unfortunately, the line dropped from 7 to 6.5, so I got scare and had to lay off that game.

Question: Will 0.5 or 1 point or even 2 points off stop you from picking a game you originally like?

Thanks.

if you aren't using the spread/price to determine which games you originally like, what are you using?

taking bad numbers is a long and lonely road in the world of sports betting, richard. laying off games where the best number has vanished will save you money in the long run. but you won't remember the ones that saved you money, just the ones that "would have won."
