"Vegas" plays to stay "even"? The first time I was there I saw my first two piece bathing suit, and when I did my first fly over (really around) I could see "Vegas" ain't about "staying even"!!!
Back to baseball!

So say the Texans are playing those sorry ass Steelers....the Vegas Books would love to see one million bet on the Texans and one million bet on Pissburg.
That way they take in 1.1 million from the losing side and pay out 1 million to the winner for a 100k profit..
They move the line based on how the PUBLIC is betting. Nothing to do with the media.
This is really simple sports book betting. You do not seem to know much about how this works....you should've STFU like I recommended.
Hey, WTF, ...
....the Sun will appear from the East tomorrow, if it's not too cloudy!
Now argue about it!
