I choose to be with the books. Dolts plus 7, may get 7.5 or 8 at game time. Not the 80% of covers members on the Birds.
Good Luck

This is simply not true they very rarely can balance the action to 50/50 by just moving the line it will almost always be skewed one way or the other but if they keep it within 5% they cant lose anyway.The only way the books can balance the action 50/50 is by laying off action!!
