Wouldn't it be in Vegas' best interest to never have a spread with a whole number. Shouldn't everything have a hook. Pushes have to be a waste of resources and time. I understand the need for line movement, but you can do that with some degree with juice...

Thoughts?

So you are suggesting that line movement should go from 2.5 to 3.5?


The books would get killed on middles.

I made a thread suggesting this once.

It wouldn't work for soccer, hockey, or football for 3s and 7s, but it would be logical for everything else.

Another logical suggestion:

Overtime should not count for spreads/totals. Overtime should only affect the ML winner. No one handicaps for overtime when betting a total, and if you bet an underdog +points and regulation ends in a tie....
