If they always sought balanced action, they would be passing up on some mathematical edges.

I totally disagree with this statement. The mathematical edge of sports juice or slot machines or craps etc is virtually guaranteed. Once you start taking sides in sports wagers you are gambling. They don't want to gamble when they have a sure thing with balanced action. As I have stated the nature of the business occassionally forces them into a side and when that happens they try to make it the side they wantbut that isn't their desire.
