My good Friend is also a book.....He will let me know when he is long on a game so I can bet the game with him...I mean 6 to 1 long. He used to layoff these games but now rarely lays a game off. He is also very rarely even on money for a game but, as he says there is always a right side to be on. that right side might not win every time but, a good percentage of the time is does. We have talked about how the lines makers know these totals and games sometimes to a half point.......it is just good information and percentages. It is a very...very rare occasion that a game is fixed. He said the fix could be eaiser on totals than the the game if you have a rogue referee or player but again a very rare thing that happens(but, I am sure it does). He has always said to me Vegas does not have to fix games because public is so predicable on betting the favorites and the overs.
He is asking why the line didn't move when FSU and Bama were getting pounded.
No more no less.
He is suspecting that the sports books knowingly took heavy lopsided action on FSU and Bama and did not move the line to attract Wake and Mizzou bets, thus taking a position on Wake and Mizzou with the "company money".
He is wondering if the above is true (and I know that it is AT TIMES especially from the Roxy ESPN segment), how do the sportsbooks KNOW to do this?.
No offense 'cause you're all great guys near and dear to my heart and some even addressed the question directly. Fragment on purpose.
I'm not a robot.
