Well, I am officially unsold. Don't tell me you think they want even action on a given game.

Hi all - this is my first post in the sports betting forum. I'm going to start getting into it. I just read a paper that was interesting about how a bookie makes lines to affect betting tendancies. It looks like bookies DO NOT try to split the betting pool and increase their profits by a lot throughout a typical season.
This paper was written by the guy who wrote freakonomics. Lots of good papers on his site.
