Probably. But I think Vegas is often responding to the same information that we all have, not some unique insider info. Not to mention, the odds change due to the betting anyways, which has little to nothing to do with that information.

You actually think Vegas doesnt have insider info?

Thats like you claiming Goldman Sachs doesnt have insider info for the stock market

Rockets were the favorite until lebron got word that harden didn’t want him. Then it swung to LA.

I’m saying when something does happen they will be the first to know.
But they’re often times just reacting to the same info we all have. So they’re tied with the rest of us. In addition, there are plenty of examples where people had a scoop (injuries; agreement; GOT leaks) before Vegas which often resulted in a few people placed bets before Vegas could react.

I mean Colengelo’s wife was tweeting insider info for years and nobody including Vegas knew it.

I think he's saying that Vegas doesn't *always* have it before everyone else.

I’m sure they do, like their own WOJ, Shams, etc., but those connections are probably more about in-season stuff (injuries) that would impact game lines and odds. But when it comes to free agency, with not only the insider info from the teams but the players’ sides too, it’s possible that their insiders aren’t leaking and they don’t have the connections to those that may be leaking (like someone connected to a player).

The only person reporting Vegas took down the odds is the same kid Arye.

This kid is either going to look really good or like a complete moron

Sure they dont. And how is Colangelos wife on a burner account tweeting going to change odds?

If this is your example you are not a bright person
