the "oddsmakers" are the people betting the game.
does anyone really believe bookmakers do anything more than try to split the action and eliminate their risk?
i get $11 and pay $10 to the winning side on every bet. i can't lose if half the action is on each side. i can only lose if i take too much action on one side that wins.
the odds are at fl -3 because that is the point where the action is being split. the line changes when more money starts coming in on one side.
you folks are betting. the book is eliminating their risk.
