Or when a NBA game goes from -2 to -5.5 you're telling me books are not exposed on one side? Of course they are. OKC Thunder vs the Milwaukee Bucks and the line opens up OKC -11 on the road and it closes at -13.5....books would need the Bucks to cover.
The books can bet with each other. If they see one side is being bet on too much they can go bet on that same side somewhere else to even it up.

you can't beat the bookie.
