  1. the "opening" line is set using a combo of your example #1 & #2.....meaning using an "oddsmakers" intellect/best guess as to the final score, who's at home, team strengths and anticipating what the betting public will do. After that, the "line" moves daily strictly based on the actual betting that comes in , with the express purpose of getting the exact same amount bet on each team. this way, the casino can't loose because they are going to make their 10% (vig) off of half that total purse no matter who wins. ( i.e. if a casino takes bets on the bills vs carolina game they want $1 million bet on each team so they can profit $100,000 no matter the outcome).

     

    TIP : for the serious gamblers out there.......track the "opening" line versus the "closing" line.......when that line spread moves by 2 or more points....the betting public is WRONG, 90% of the time. (thats all i'm gonna say).
