Money bet more on one side will start moving the line to the other team to balance out the bets. Bookies want the bets to be exactly 50-50. |
want it to be 50-50? No, they want to gain the majority and have everyone on the wrong side as much as possible. They want to bait people and have them be so stupid that its a 90-10 split when they can.
