"Sharp money" in the true sense of the word is rarely used correctly. Personally, I like to get on games that I like early; for a number of reasons. Now for me, I'd consider that the sharpest money there is because I have a number of reasons why I'm betting that team, at that number at that time. For example, The Angels are on the road in St. Louis tomorrow. At +120, I would roll the dice with the Angles; simply because the value is there for a few reasons. While a number of people may consider that silly, I would personally consider that a sharp move. It's very subjective.
