I agree with you jso0003. Most of the time local bookmakers take advantage of homers. Betting on Alabama in Alabama is ridiculous becuase all the local bookmakers fudge the line against Alabama because of all the irrational Bama homers.
eta - If I wanted to bet against Alabama I would get the best line for that bet from local bookmakers in Alabama.

Lines arent intended to be a "predictor" nor are they made to make betting "fair on both sides". That's laughable really.
Lines have one purpose and one purpose only; to get equal money laid on both sides. You'd think someone who's been paying attn to them for 20 years would be aware of this fact.
