[QUOTE="Oannes, post: 149866, member: 816"] I lived in Vegas for a few years. Right...they want money equally bet on both sides to make their 10%. So, in order to get their 10% they have to find the middle point. The "optimist" will predict more than X amount of wins, and the "pessimist" will predict less. IE: Vegas will not have the Packers winning 13 games. Why? ALL the money will go on the under. You have to find the most likely number that will entice some to think a little more, and some a little less. I think you drastically underestimate Las Vegas line making. If they can predict a point spread accurately they keep ALL the money. There is HUGE incentive for them to be REALISTIC. Now, when a line moves, some of the reality is lost. Does anyone know what the over/under on the Packer win total is this season? [/QUOTE]
