Cubs line dropping?

[SuperBad]

Wonder why the cubs line is dropping. Went from -136 to now -124 at my books. Seems like sox gonna win here?

That's even more reason to take the Cubs today.

Hope your right woody. Just got my wager in when I read your reply. Hope this cashes!

ChiSox put up 37 runs past three games, don't think they'll keep that up.

They won't need to. Just need to keep their pitching up.

I'm on a 0-6-2 streak on the under.

Why make the price cheaper if the money is coming in on the Cubs?

I have heard it described as "moving the line on air" or an "air move" or some double secret reverse fade mind blower or some bullshit.

Just propoganda that these books put out probably.

Exactly.. Nothing to read into except maybe that the public likes one side over the other, which shouldn't make a difference on what YOU LIKE.

 

[eoghater]

he was referring to the bookie taking a gamble on dropping the cubs line so people could get scared and bite on the sox.

The real answer is because Ted lilly sucks ass.

 

[mystro9876]

Makes sense...

But in baseball it shouldn't matter if lines are changing. Your not betting a spread. Your betting on who will win the game.

I can see bookies doing that because people are soo obsessed with line changes.

 

[woodog22]

You notice when a book adds (-105 -115) the last hour instead of changing the spread, to take the -105. I don't think this is purely $ coming in. They could be getting sharp money the other way.
