Exactly. If they don’t and 90% of the bets are on the popular team, then the book looses big when the popular team wins.

It would be interesting to see a book be completely transparent about it and open the betting at even odds then move a point in the opposite direction every time the bets get off balance. Of course that would be annoying as a better deciding what to play only to have it constantly change.
