    Reverse Line Movement (RLM) is one of the most misunderstood concepts in sports betting.

    When the majority of public bets are on one side — but the line moves the other direction — what does it actually mean?

    Discussion points:

    • Is RLM a sharp signal?
    • Can books manufacture false RLM?
    • How does market liquidity affect movement?
    • Is RLM stronger in NFL than MLB?

    Let’s document real examples this season.
