And also please understand: I'm not trying to crusade for the abolishment of morning lines. I think they're goddamned wonderful! I hope one day my daughter marries a morning line maker! I simply cannot say enough good things about morning lines! If lovin' morning lines is wrong, then I don't wanna be right! Etc. The only reason this thread even exists is because the subject of bad morning lines came up on the show and I was dumb enough to call in and ask a question that I've often wondered: In a parimutual system in which the odds are dictated by where the public bets their money, what is the purpose of having a morning line if it's meaningless other than to provide a cheat sheet for the public?
