07/18/2011 at 5:22 pmDo you guys pay attention to late money moves in MLB, say about 3 pts or more 1 hour before game time ? I have been watching it this year and it appears there may be some value in following this. However I do not want to waste my time if there is a historical precedent for losing money betting on late money moves.
