Thats actually my bad, I should always post the line with a play, which in this case is -130 for the OVER.

Why do I prefer the line that way, well thats just always the way I've seen it since I started wagering. It was always -110 on everything and since you know thats the standard wager you can see how big a favorite a side is when the line is -130 or -200 or -115, etc...

Usually in Canada the decimal format is used and it's definatly easier if you play parlays, which I do not.

Yes, they think OVER is a favorite, but do not want to move the line to 6.5, why? I have no idea. In my experience they are taking money on the OVER but think it will go UNDER so they would rather charge you the extra juice instead of raising the line and risking people taking the UNDER.

This brings up something I wanted to post a while ago, it is absolutly false that sportsbooks want equal action on both sides of a game, simply for the reason that it just will NEVER happen, it won't even fall within the 10% difference they need to guarantee a profit. They make money off of losing players, which unfortunatly is most of them.

Quick question, let's say a book takes exactly $1000 on both sides of a game that is -110, they are guaranteed $100 profit, but who pays it to them?
