that's not entirely correct, there's a BIG difference between +13 and +14.5; crossing the number 14 is HUGE, and all indicators during the week points to that direction.

+12 also have some merits over +10', for instance, in a 6pts teaser you cross key numbers 14 and 17, and would've had major implications in that particular game.

the point is, a good capper knows his market movements, as this season so far have demonstrated, it's to bet the favorite early and to take the dogs late.

I never said 13.5 to 14.5 wasn't huge.

It's very easy to look back in hindsight and say this. I could not wait for the San Fran game to hit 12 in order to capture 18 because I wanted to ensure I'd get Miami at +7.5 and not at 7. I will always take 7.5 over 7 relative to 18 over 17. The Miami line opened at 2/2.5 and started drifting downward to 1.5. I wanted to make sure it didn't go all the way down to 1.
