Re: Dr. Bob
I'm very much the amateur and square at a LOT of this stuff but I'm learning a little bit at a time and I think I'm not too far off on this:
If he likes Team A at -3 and I take Team B at +3 then I have gone against him.
But if I take that same Team B at +6 and even he wouldn't touch Team A at -6 then I'm not really sure I have 'gone against him'.
The change in lines does actually make a difference.
1 or 2 points movement in the line can make a huge difference. If you don't believe me then feel free to set up something where you have to sacrifice 1 point on every single game you play.
I don't think Dr. Bob could be successful if he had to give up 1 or 2 points on every single game and I don't think you could either.
Thus always taking the opposite side of Dr. Bob after he moves the line 1 or 2 points in the opposite direction could have value imo.
