Yeah, but you figure if the smaller shop makes a line at -10 for Team A and all the bigger shops open at -17, then the small shop probably assumes they are off and goes with the market at -17. If that makes sense. Again, this is all total guess on my part.


No, it makes sense. I just wonder if that's actually how it plays out. I find this stuff fascinating.

How does one go about getting a gig at a sportsbook? And not like the cashier job or anything. But the guy -- or one of the guys -- who actually gets to set the lines and make the call on when to move the lines. I'd love to do that for a living.

Do you have know somebody? Do you have to start low and work your way up? Or do you just go out to Vegas and start gambling and if you start kicking their arse, they take notice and hire you?

My guess would be that you'd have to work your way up unless you knew someone.

@Lindetrain on twitter started out as cashier and is now promoted to a supervisor. He's working his way up. I believe he was just outta college.

And I agree with your sentiments on dogs and faves. Pretty much how I feel about it.
