So if sharp money bets a team down from +7.5 to +5.5 why they don’t post a line of +9.5 to trick the public. Is it because sharp money will keep hammering the bad line? Then if they adjust the line appropriately and the public doesn’t get tricked and they hammer the sharp money line then how do the books not get hammered all the time? And how do you know when and if the sharp money is in. What if no sharp money was involved and the book decided to drop the line with no reason trying to trick the public on thinking sharp money caused the move?
