is it possible that the linesmakers take this into account? instead of determining the "true" line, they choose a line that will get an equal amount of action on both sides.

They do, but I would also think that the line has to be close to the "true" line to avoid exposure to HUGE amounts of money on the sharp side.

The BSP idea is a valuable one though. Fading the public is often a good idea. Plus, even if you lose, you still feel like a wiseguy genius who's not swayed by conventional wisdom. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
