I am relatively new to Covers and simply want to know how this occurs.
A number of Ultimate Race players have DET @ -150 in tonight's NHL game. Once a team becomes greater than a -150 favourite, they are unavailable to pick. DET is currently -156 so, as I have not picked them yet, they are not available to me. Okay. Advantage to anybody who got them early. I understand.
However, when I look at the "Covers Contest Odds" on the odds page, the line history for the game is as follows:
12/05/10 12:26:24 PM ... -155 (Open)
12/06/10 1:56:23 AM ... -155
12/06/10 2:56:23 AM ... -152
12/06/10 4:06:23 AM ... -156
If they were never at -150 or lower, how did three top-25 players (galgeorge, dnicess21, pointsspread) plus others get them at that price? Are the above times just random snapshots? I would have assumed they are indicators of EVERY time the line moves, but I could be wrong.
To remove first post, remove entire topic.
