Since there's no tangible stats to track and sim gonna sim, so it's gonna be hard to even draw the initial line and if you start doing crazy shit like offering arbitrary ratios then the people who know what betting is all about is just gonna play the lines and not the actual bet itself since the payout is gonna be so much better.
I'm going to assume the purpose of the sportsbook is to take money out of the league, so you definitely don't want to have the opposite effect with inflated lines.
I agree. I think the lines should move. Whether HO decides to run it that way or implement any of the ideas people have is something I've got no input or information on. I was just talking about specifically I couldn't have them move in the way I conducted testing the model. Having them move would only smooth the model in actual practice - hence why it would be beneficial/necessary in a world where something like this get implemented. I was just hedging that I have no idea what the plan is.
