So everyone seems to, I am assuming subjectively, although some of you may have numbers, agree that this line is too low.
So let's take it the step further and ask why and consider the consequence.
Why? Brock is crossover and public? Brock is a bigger beast? Why?
Consequence? Well, we don't have worthy back end figures, there isn't volume; but let's say that if the fighting technique die hard analysts all think Cormier is cheap, and the actual sharper money, those guys that move the line, like the cheap Cormier, then perhaps it actually bodes well for Brock.
There could be a lot of money to be taken down when a matchup like this offers a "cheap" favorite, especially if it has holiday season marketability.
The originators don't really make too many mistakes, and the books mitigate them anyway. So if the line is so low, as everyone insists, then why?
The books set lines for a purpose.
Can anybody make a case for what the line should be, other than subjective input? Anybody cap a line or price to compare to the market?
Does anybody at SBR actually handicap the game to determine value against the market without solely using subjective input when weighting the relevant factors?
I have to go on the market here, I have no price capped, but I am an expert on the ends and means of both line originators and the bookmakers they serve, no matter the sport.
So, SBR, what do you have?
