do you think the matchup linemaker is trying to give away money?
he is trying to do one of two things. first he is trying to set a fair
price on races of interest so that the 30 cent line and aggressive
movement off of sharp action will put the bookmaker in a favourable
risk/reward ratio with not too much if any liability on the sharp side.
the second thing he is trying to do is set up illusionary value on
horses either due to an opinion, observation, information, or
handicapping insight. for you to make money betting on matchups
and overcome the 30 cent line, you must be sharper than the
linemaker and the sharps that move the line. the good thing
about horse matchups even with a 30 cent line is that
offer much better value than betting into the parimutuel pools.
hope this helps.
