The old trap theory hahahahahah..... how about they know way more than you. The lines makers are not dumb like you either. I guess the braves were never gonna lose again? Public perception makes it easy for Vegas to set lines.
This is the truest statement you can make. Once you accept that they know VOLUMES more than we ever could, you can also accept that they'll know which way the public will bet based on a line they put out there. They weren't surprised the public was all over Atlanta and they weren't surprised when the Mets won and they raked it in. And the ones the public get right? They knew they were going to pay out on it before the game ever started. They aren't right 100% of the time, but I bet they are close to 80%...
