Why?
To easy for someone to get information to an associate before the book knows about it.
Then a bet could be placed before the line is adjusted.
A similar sitution happened a couple of weeks ago. Toledo QB left the field holding his throwing arm.
The line initially opened for the second half favoring Toledo.
Big money jumped in and the line immediately shifted to favor Miami-Ohio.
When the TV showed the Toledo QB warming up, the line started shifting slightly back away from Miami-Ohio.
If you had some-one at the game who saw the QB come out and pick up the ball, you could have gained an extra 20% on your payout before the line shifted. The
big money was already screwed, they paid put it against Toledo.
Those of us that had confidence in Toledo figured that the QB would influence the line and waited until the line had shifted (we felt that Toledo was a second half team) and made out like a bandit on the initial line shift. $10 paid $13 for a straight bet, paid $44 for the over parlay
