:patrice: Lemme preface this post by saying no matter who's on what side, it's still gambling. I'm not one of those 20/20 hindsight, "I told you so people" because I could've just easily lost this game but thankfully i won out.

Syndicates are groups of gamblers with a lot of money who work together to make money. Sharps, wise guys-- whatever you wanna call them, they were ALL on Miami today. Those people like to target games where there's an inflated or "incorrect" line and play for value which is why they oftentimes seem like contrarian bettors.

A majority of the public took the Pats because of the "easy" line and the fact Miami historically has been trash against Brady gang. With that in mind, it doesn't make any sense that the line would've shifted ALL the way to -1/pickem, so that leads me to believe a shyt ton of money came in on Miami, enough that it steamed (moved) the line to a pick.

Sharps lose just as much in some instances as "squares" so the whole contrarian thing isn't a surefire way to win longterm, but if you pick yours spots you can come out n/h on the right side.

This was one of those games where I felt incredibly confident as soon as I placed the bet. Interestingly enough massey ratings had Miami winning by a field goal so it leads me to believe the linesmakers intentionally threw that line out there to attract a lot of patriots money, but the sharps knew the favored the wrong team and pounded the hell out of Miami at whatever price it was available.

Also, line movement isn't always an indicator of who's going to win, but if you chase steam (betting on the side where sharp money is coming on) chances are you're betting on the same side as some "sharp" betting $15,000 which is why most people do it because they believe these people know something we don't
