Morons who think "Vegas" is trying to fool them

or trick them into betting one way or the other as if they (Vegas"?) knows which side is going to cover?

I really expected a higher level of sophistication here

Lol  Anybody that makes a $55 bet to win $50 shouldnt have to be told anything..And I don't think you guys know how "The great and POWERFUL VEGAS"  or any of the other Books operate. They just want 50% bet on both sides so they can take their cut.  Their cut is a sure thing, and they aren't interested in gambling themselves. They aren't ever trying to trick you into betting one side or the other because they know who's going to cover, they may however try to entice you (by moving the line) to bet on a particular team in order to get a 50/50 split in the wagering. And thats really the betting public moving the line.

Table games are a license to print money...They can't lose in the long run, and the best table game plays in the world won't give you a 50/50 chance..You won't ever get a coin toss in a Casino

Understand that kids

Vegas and your bookmaker just want you to bet, they don't care who you bet on..When they lose, they don't lose- They take losers money and give it to the winners ...After taking their cut of course

So they always win-

Its their business to know, and the line setters have been doing it a very very long time..And if they judged public perceptions wrong, they adjust the line

C'mon guys,...This is the ABC's and 123's of gambling

I'm saying (Ahem...in the title of the thread) that Vegas is not trying to trick you. They don't know who's going to cover, and they don't care- So stop with the absurd conspiracy theories that run rampant here

Vegas does = manipulation. Many years to spot the feed.

I can't believe I'm posting in this kid's thread. Bored as hell.

Firstly.

Who's Vegas? The guy at the Hilton Sports Book, or Ceasars? Who is this great all knowing god who rules the gambling world and influences dorks like you in Des Moines Iowa? And how do they influence you..With tantalizing lines?  Are the Books in London trying to trick me too? Are do all the bookmakers around the world get their marching orders from "Vegas"? You don't know how books work-

I think I found a picture of "Vegas"

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtian!
