That's even more reason to take the Cubs today.

ChiSox put up 37 runs past three games, don't think they'll keep that up.

Why make the price cheaper if the money is coming in on the Cubs?

bigbookie has a theory on this but he never explains it. i'd like to know the actual reason why/if this happens.

I have heard it described as "moving the line on air" or an "air move" or some double secret reverse fade mind blower or some bullshit.

Just propoganda that these books put out probably.

Exactly.. Nothing to read into except maybe that the public likes one side over the other, which shouldn't make a difference on what YOU LIKE.

he was referring to the bookie taking a gamble on dropping the cubs line so people could get scared and bite on the sox.

The real answer is because Ted lilly sucks ass.

Makes sense...

But in baseball it shouldn't matter if lines are changing. Your not betting a spread. Your betting on who will win the game.

I can see bookies doing that because people are soo obsessed with line changes.

You notice when a book adds (-105 -115) the last hour instead of changing the spread, to take the -105. I don't think this is purely $ coming in. They could be getting sharp money the other way.
