read this on the home page. is it true? are there some good middle chances and soft lines at mybookie as a result? Anyone with them?
This was an unconventional weekend at Mybookie.com (www.mybookie.com) as we had two major line changes, moving the line the opposite direction in relation to all the other sportsbooks in the industry. In other words, we were moving against the moves. The reason for this is simple: we move our numbers according to the action we take. One of the main mistakes many bookmakers make is blindly moving their numbers when they see other bookmakers moving. The presumption being that the other bookmakers must know something they don’t. This is a recipe for disaster, simply because that they are not writing the other bookmaker’s action. They are writing, and should be moving according to their own action!<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O

The first example was Saturday in the NCAA where <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 /><ST1:STATE><ST1LACE>Tennessee</ST1LACE></ST1:STATE> opened as a 7-point favorite. The ‘sharpies’ got down on Notre Dame early and moved the line down from the key number of -7, to -6 ½ dropping as low as -6 in places at kickoff. So, standard logic dictated we too should have been at -6 ½, or -6 as well right? Wrong. Here’s why: we wrote more than 6 to 1 tickets on the <ST1:STATE><ST1LACE>Tennessee</ST1LACE></ST1:STATE> and simply followed our action. Not only did we not move down to -6 ½ to -6, but we actually moved the other way to -7 ½! The ‘Irish’ being the Jekyll and Hyde team that they are, upset the ‘Vols’ 17-13 and showed a huge win for the house.
By the way how is that good for the house if they wrote tickets 6:1 for Tennessee????
