The Crossroad ( MUSIC )

[murrayhill]

Typically there might have been a difference
in the line from one city to another.That was before public
information about "the line" was made "national."
In particular the city from which a team was playing
might have as much as a point or more difference from
the line in Vegas, This is where the sharpies cleaned up,
by laying off their action via telephone in Vegas. It was
thus possible to win on both sides of the bet.
