This thread is a completely different situation. Books were locking out a spread on a result that they knew.

This is completely contradictory and illogical. Anytime there is asymmetrical information like this, where one side knows the results and the other doesn’t, they should want to get as much money wagered as possible. If they really knew what the result was going to be, it would never get locked, as that would hurt profits.

This isnt true. If Team A and Team B are playing and the book knows Team A who has fallen behind by a lot and was a large favorite pregame will make a run and not lose by as many as they are down at that moment of course they would lock it up because your argument is saying that the game is automatically going to get money on both sides. Its not. Also if books leave a line like that open and sharps can pound it then their edge of knowing the outcome of the spread is gone and they may even take a loss overall on the game even though a large favorite is going down

Yes they didn't know lol. Go back and take a look at that game. You usually know what you are going on about but in this case you are generalizing based on know knowledge of said game.

Let me fill you in.

Houston was hammered before the game. The line dropped hard. They actually quietly kept the line the same while others were moving down( as you are supposed to do). They didn't want to give way to make it obvious.

Then when Houston was winning and in control they knew everyone that had a clue would take Houston spread - whatever because the ml -290 or whatever isn't a reasonable play. They let people take suns and kept Houston-6.5 etc off the board.

We all think we know things but it's OKAY to learn off others.

Your welcome.

You are contradicting yourself with completely illogical theories. If they really knew everyone would be Houston, they would make a lot of money by putting the game on the board at an inflated price.
