That's a myth. For the Super Bowl, yes. On games where far less is bet, they want most of the money on the losing side.
ETA: Have you ever heard the term "trap game"?
This is correct. Vegas motivation is to put the line exactly where they think the outcome will be. Any deviation from that and the
"50%" mark is cash money. Anyone remember WVU against Texas Tech a couple years ago? WVU was top 5, Tech was unranked and sucked. Line was only WVU -4.5 and the betting public went crazy. Geno Smith's Heisman went out the window along with millions from the betting public.
