Default Will this work?

I thought of this last year but never really followed up on it.

You start watching the lines early and the lines move as people bet one side more than the other. Since most people lose at sports couldn't you just turn it around

Here is an example

The Braves were a +130 on opening day on the overnight lines. Gametime I saw them as +104. This means that more people are betting the braves and the book needs more people to bet the marlins so they lower the line and make the marlins more attractive. And the marlins won 9-0

Now I know the overnight lines might not be accurate and that 1 big bet either way will affect the line more than 100 small bets will.

The book is telling you which side people are betting on and if most people lose when they bet on sports you can just go opposite.

What do ou think of this? Is it worth researching? Has anyone tried this or something similar to it? Please gimme feedback?
