go lay down a mil and see how much it moves. How many times have you ever seen a spread move over 5 points?

the fact that lines seldom move in one direction by five or more points, does not prove your point that it takes more money to move the line as it moves. Excluding outlier factors and considering the line is moving on normal variables, the exact opposite is normally the case.

For example... Vegas puts out a "bad line on Sunday of Troy -15, the sharps immediately pound the good side and the line starts to move quickly.
The faster it moves the less amount of money is needed to move the line further. Vegas will be adjusting quickly to counter, therefore requiring less and less of bet$ to get the line adjusted ASAP.

Tons of other variables are involved... certain numbers(3,6,7,10,13,14) are more difficult to move to/from so that is always another consideration.
