Hi Weco:

The NFL lines are made in Vegas and by other sport and/or gambling authorities. There is no one official line. There are multiple lines available, and a serious gambler tries to take advantage of those favorable to him. A bookmaker can use any line he chooses, but will usually use one that is tailored for his locality, and provides the ability to "layoff" betting money if he becaomes overloaded or lopsided. Layoff means passing the bet onto a larger operation. This is tradionally some Mafia type.

BTW, If you're not a gambler, don't become one.

Thank you! Well, I guess way back never felt I had the money to toss about, none of the family or friends have either, other than those that blew it all out and faded into history... Even with Reno, Tahoe and Vegas fairly handy, we really just go for the shows, play a little on slots, to pay our dues and that's about it..

Sports has always been just my interest as a fan of local West Coast (NorCal) teams, Niners, Raiders, A's, Giants, Sharks, Warriors... Not into the Basketball or Hockey unless I happen to stray... But it's been a kick watching the SF Giants baseball, we've some serious family fans, I've only gone to a few games, don't care for the mob scene.. Raiders have been interesting, good, tough at times, mean, nasty at other times. Niners have been solid a long time, but had to do a lot of rebuilding once DeBartello's(owner) were out, Walsh gone, Montana/Rice are out, but now I think we have a great staff, team and should do Great! So, no, no bets, other uses for "spare" dollars as the 5 grandkids are our main focus.. Or maybe a few more trips overseas or...

Curious, are the numbers, spread, odds, set in Vegas back rooms or Atlantic City or ?? Who builds those numbers?

Seeing that GB was a favorite, some money must have been made by the few smart folks..

Interesting, but not tempting...
