Sorry that’s not the way it works. Book managers will tell you they could not stay open if all they got was 10%.

But don’t take my word for it, just look at the site referenced in the thread Vegas Insider for tonight’s NBA games 75% of the bet are on Houston -12 and 79% over 208.5 76% on Golden State -11.5 and 60% on over 229.
