I'm no expert. But besides that, they know exactly what they are doing. There are 2 kinds of bettors, which they call "squares" or "public" bettors. The other they call "sharps." The squares mostly pick favorites, they love favorites. The line is set to entice public money. The shaps mostly lives in Vegas. The sharps can move the lines if they bet heavy on a game. So what the sharps do is have 20 "runners" place their bets. Say, $2,000. That way, the line won't move drastically. It would move a lot if the sharp walked into a casino and plunked down 50K. These guys are sophisticated as hell.
