What Percentage of Bookies would you say have opinions?

Rainbow · Feb 1, 2005

I would say 65%. I think expecially on Sunday and Monday night Football games.

I think a better question would be which percent allow their opinions to influence the line, because I would say all BM have opinions.

noway so many bookies just copy the lines off the Donbest screen. I know alot of bookies just copy the screen all day long. theres also alot that use the screen for a guide line only. I know alot myself that never have a opinion on nothing, they dont even know who suppose to be the favorite, much less have a opinion.

Rainbow- I guess I do not understand your original question then. Are you asking what BM care about the games? Are you asking what BM let their own opinion influence the line?

I am asking what percentage of bookies have opinions, meaning who"s going to win the game or games. I know alot of bookies that will not move the line unless they get played, that have no opinion on the out come of the game. theres also alot of bookies will say for example in the Superbowl, they will never take +7.5 from me because I will never go there. I also seen bookies losing money for the day going into the Sunday nights game, they will use something different trying to get out.
