that's the obvious thing to do if Pinnacle is doing what I mentioned.
Those "excellent" lines that beat you doesn't defy logic, it makes perfect sense. And sharp bookies have done this since time immemorial.
I'll explain it with an example. (seems no-one understands my comment).
I knew a local that booked 12 straight winning MLB totals from a pimply college freshman. Investigation reveals he was a beard for a well-known wiseguy ( he was placing pics for a real sharp bettor).
Bookie wanted to eject him immediately. But sharper ones told him to cut kids limits down, take all his action. Then shade your lines to make the line opposite of this wiseguy's pics ever more attractive to other bettors.
you then make money on the vig, and on the lopsided action you are booking (gambling with) the wiseguy--fooling all these bettors that you have a soft line, when you know it is a strong one 'cause this wiseguy is beating you black and blue with his bets.
happens all the time, every city. But big bookmaking operations generally don't wanna gamble at all, but live off the vig and terrible money management of bettors.
