    Books sometimes scare line watchers with funny shit

    For example the greek today at ht of the mavs game did this

    They opened sac TT at 47.5. It then dropped to 47. Then 46.5. Then 46 at close. All the unders were -115.


    Simple reason why they did this?

    They wanted to scare off Sac bettors and line movement guys.

    Meanwhile they were moving Dallas from 50 to 50.5 and then finally 50 at the end.

    Sac had 34 points in the third.

    Is it possible sac only scores 12 points in the fourth?

    Yeah just like how BOS dropped from -3.5 to -2.5. Books knew BOS would blow the door wide open, and of course those line movement followers were all over POR.

    Curious to see how POR responds tomorrow in WAS. That game is hard to read.
