Hi Gentlemen,
Some may remember me as I have participated here a little in the past couple of years. I am sorry that my contributions have been little. Actually if you saw some of my picks you may feel I contributed too much:)
Anyway here is where I am looking for help. There is a group of guys that are known as the computer boys. These guys carrry pagers and when there pager goes off, they bet whatever they can get down. Another words their pager would say 305, and 3.5, and as long as they can get 3 1/2 on team 305 they bet. If the line moves 1/2 point it is not a bet. Now when these guys start betting the network knows it and all the books move accordingly to stop their action. It is a fast game as they move fast, the line services move fast and the whole thing takes only a few minutes.
As far as I know they do not do this in Pro Football. I can never remember a computer boy playing a pro football game. They do play college football(and lots of totals), college baskets and totals and baseball sides and totals as well. I am guess some if not most of you know of these guys, but here is want I am really after.
Can anyone point me to an article about these guys or any article about a Vegas Sporst book that mentions these guys. Anything you can post would be appreciated.
