so what they told all their friends to go out and buy the wrong side? maybe go tout and sell those picks as winners? or do u mean to say they are betting into one side hoping the juice becomes to much for the book and they nudge the line?
because as of right now your statement looks silly as neither is happening

It's funny, cause like, you think you're clever with that claim, but then realize you don't know what you're talking about, so all you can do is when asked to explain yourself.

I can't believe people on here wanted to argue with you about lines being manipulated. Do they really think that it doesn't happen???

What I don't understand about all this business of manipulating lines, half-point hooks, etc etc is the fact that the huge majority of NFL games don't finish particularly close to the line - so how can it really make that much difference? I'm genuinely curious.

One thing you need to look at is the opening and closing lines, not just the ones after the games are over.

Of course, but my understanding is that movement of more than one point is fairly rare - is that true?
At the moment I have to figure that line movement ends up being irrelevant in a large majority of games. Today so far it would have no bearing whatsoever on winning or losing a bet at Pittsburgh, New England, Jacksonville, Tennessee, NYGiants - and this seems a tighter week than most.
But I'm listening...!

Go to player talk and I am sure someone will explain.

Meh, I'll just fuggaddaboudit. When most NFL games finish nowhere near the spread I just can't get worked up about line moves in any way, shape or form.
