Why do Books wait so long to put Moneyline plays up?

Why in college football do so many books wait so long to put ML prices up? The majority of books out there still don't have them posted?

Too easy to scalp as the lines move throughout the week. They don't want you holding +125 when they know it will turn fav thus giving you +115 or so on the other side.

You can say the same about putting out a line and getting middled but they still do.

The 3rd shift scalpers would kill the small books.

100% chance to make a profit with no chance of losing. IE 10 units on +125 (A), and then 10 units +115 (B)units. (A) wins you gain 2.5 units no matta what. B wins, you get 1.5 units no matta.

They have an inability to post a solid accurate line early in the week. The line will be refined by the time they post a moneyline so they won't get beat.
