Line movement

Line movement is how a number or price changes before a game starts. Lines move as money comes in, as books adjust their prices and as news arrives, like an injury report.

A price that shortens, like -110 to -125, means the market now sees that side as more likely. A price that lengthens, like +120 to +135, means it sees that side as less likely.

Read the opening price against the current price. Antic measures the move in cents on a scale where -110 and +110 both sit 10 cents from even money. A move from -110 to -105 is +5 cents, which is better for a bettor. A move from -110 to -125 is -15 cents, which is worse.

Compare like with like. A move at one book is not the same as a move at another book, even for the same game.

The Odds tab in the game room has a Line movement chart under the game lines. It follows the best price across your books for the side you pick, with the open, the current price and the move since the open.

You can switch between the last 24 hours and all the history kept on your phone. If you saved a bet on that line, the chart also shows its move since you saved it.

Reading a move as proof. A move shows where money went, not why, and it does not show that the new price is a good one.

Expecting a chart with no history. If Antic has not seen prices for a line, the chart says so and draws nothing.
