games not being in a circle anymore has to do with one thing
BIG OFFSHORE CASINOS that like in the movie two for the money,
COULD care less about a player or a weather condition to change a spread, they jsut want your MILLIONS in DOLLARS of revenue!!!!
OFFSHORE took away all the fear from the Bookmaker, and now there are lines up two days, sometimes weeks before the games go off.
The circle is the same fear mentallity that a local cannot afford to get smacked, and this is also the same reason that games USED to in the OLD DAYS of LOSERVILLE, did not come up until 10:30am of Gameday.
Now gambling is money ,management, and option management. Offshore also has taught, or should have taught some....that the lines very rarley impact anything in the final outcome.
The circle was a "Limit" tag to protect the small BOOK industry this ONCE WAS
Look at your over 30 little 2mm by 3 mm advertisers you have all over your board........AND THAT SHOULD TELL YOU WHY YOU HAVE NO CIRCLE
Offshore gambling has made this a flea market of gambling. If YOU want to sell your goods, you better be jsut as good as the next guy
and having circles would show weakness, and anyone with college math, can tell you those casinos could care less about an injury or a line change, their customers that are that sharp are far and few between, Bring in the Money first !!!! Worry about a circLE later if it all!!!
