Bookmakers have admitted the fact that they do set traps and are in it to make as much money as they can. They have blatantly stated that getting 50/50 money on each side as their primary goal and only raking in the vig is a TOTAL MYTH

Why the fukk are people still doubting this when they have blatantly admitted to it in the past.


Kornegay dispelled a myth about the goal of line-setters, which we all always have been told is to draw equal money on both teams. By doing so, the house would always profit because for the one placing the wager, winning $100 requires betting $110. “Our goal is to win more than we lose,” Kornegay said. “That’s what we try to do. It’s rare that you have a game that you have equal action on both sides. Is that what the line’s supposed to do? Yeah. It rarely happens. I would say one out of 10 games we look at and say ‘It doesn’t matter who wins, we’re going to win (because there is roughly equal money on both sides).’”
The reaction to the seven-point spread didn’t surprise the oddsmakers.
“I would say most of the tickets were on Baylor, no doubt about it,” Kornegay said. “We heard them talking about it on the other side of the counter, and they were saying what we thought they would say, ‘Undefeated, ranked third. I can’t believe it. This doesn’t make sense.’”
