redietz... he has schooled us hard on that fact. read above.
I am not trying to undermine what redietz has said. Weak lines often exist for reasons which are beneficial to sportsbooks, such as enticing people to bet on a side that the book believes is going to lose (also known as a "trap line".)
Other times weak lines exist when there is not much information known about the game, or the game is very low-profile, and likely not to receive much betting action.
The average person does not possess the ability to pick out a weak line, even if they are big sports fans or frequent sportsbettors.
Fortunately, in modern times, there are sites you can use to examine betting trends, and you can deduce for yourself when this is occurring. The basic rule of thumb is that you usually don't want to bet on the side that Vegas is trying to entice you to bet.
From what I have seen, redeitz has a lot of handicapping knowledge, and isn't just a contest-winning luckbox. And I mean that seriously.
