re: Hanny likes LSU over Mizzou, updated line now down to -4.0 predicts a lot of points scored

That’s exactly how Vegas makes Billion $ Hotels, it’ll drop until Missouri is full of all the bets it can afford and right before the game it’ll be LSU-5.5

Let me tell what a former New Orleans bookie at the casino who dealt with Vegas bookies every week for decades told me how Vegas would open with a point spread privately, that will move based on the private betting then is open to the public.

At the beginning of each week the spread was put out privately, that he was allowed to know and bet on but wasn’t widely known. When it came out publicly the spread was almost always different. So LSU opened up publicly at 6.5? Well it was probably at 9.5 or higher or 3.5 privately but it didn’t open privately at 6.5. My guess is it originally opened up higher. In case you wondered how Vegas keeps its biggest contributors happy.
