Default BC @ Providence

Got a question about this one. I bet BC and I noticed that the line started at 0, went to 1.5 in favor of providence, then it went back to 0, then up to 1 for BC, now it's at 1 for Providence. The betting trends say 86% of the money is on BC. Does this mean that sportsbook is taking a gamble??? How can the line move in favor of providence when the money is going on BC. Someone explain. I think I'm gonna lose 165 bucks on BC tonight which sucks ass

The "betting trends" probably doesn't show how much money is being bet. It is probably 86% of the people are picking BC. If 99 people bet BC at 100 and I come in and bet Prov. for 50000, I would probably move the line, even though I am only 1% of the population of bettors.

p.s. you seem nervous about your bet. did you bet more than you wanted to?
