P.S. Does he have any updated insights now that we have watched how games 1-3 have played out?

DanCarcillo · Answer

As arrogant as you may be, congrats, hope you enjoy the profits

clubtnt · Answer

oddsmakers goal is not setting a line to get 50/50 action. their goal is to set a line that gets the most money for the house. a lot of times these two are the same thing, sometimes they&#x27;re not.

DatExpert · Answer

Exactly. The assumption that oddsmakers are looking solely for 50/50 action is so naive.

I was gonna jump in earlier but I was to tired to respond at the time.  Teaching schoolchildren about gambling is exhausting.

IPAguzzler · Answer

Can you teach me to diagnose my power steering issues?

DatExpert · Answer

BackCourt, you sure like to argue a lot for a guy who never picks winners.

daphenom · Answer

royboymiami · Answer

Your math example made no sense 2million on gsw 2 million on clev =4million x 10% = 400k Also on spreads books may want even action but def not on ml if a dog wins straight up and 50% of ml was on dog books are screwed.

bettingforfun · Answer

Maybe I didn&#x27;t make myself clear.  I am agreeing with backcourt and now you as well.My brother worked in Harrahs sports book for a number of years.  I am well aware Sports Directors don&#x27;t set odds.  They did have discretion to move the lines based on what side action was coming in on.  They would also circle games and only take limited action.  BTW Leroys sucks in my opinion.  Not a fan of a monopoly.

daphenom · Answer

My math made complete sense , books only get the 10% on the losses !! Unless that miraculously changed over night
