So say the panthers opened at a -4 and it went up to a -7, you'd put money on the bucs instead cuz the line moved up 3 points?
Depends. In a lot of instances, I might, but in this one I bet on the panthers despite that number going up. The Buccaneers are absolutely atrocious and they've quit on their coach. I actually bet with the public on that game.
When you bet on a rapidly moving line people call that chasing steam. It's the theory that you're on the right side because the number moving is vastly over or underinflated.
Usually steam comes into play more with sharps and shyt like that, but some of that sharp shyt is overrated especially in a prime time game.
