It has always pretty much been a myth that the bookies want even action on each side. They want to make money.

But they will make money with even action, and at zero risk.

If I was a bookie and thought the true line on the game was -6 (by "true line" i mean a line that the fav will cover half the time and the dog will cover the other half), but I knew I could still get plenty of fav action, maybe I would shoot for 7.5. All fav bettors are taking the worst of it.

In this day and age, how long do you think you could get away with that and keep your action?
