Why do betting odds shift before a game?

[Heatman]

Have you ever noticed that sometimes after betting odds have been given, before the game, it starts to change. A gambler might use because of the initial odds to make their decision before betting and once the odds starts changing, it would look like their decision was wrong.

What's your take on immediate changing of the game's odds before the game starts?

Odds shifting is never a magic, it's just a money movement. The nookmakers react to information and heavy bets. If big money was put on one side, they will adjust to balance the risk. It's as simple as that.

I see! Ooh, that could possibly be a very good reason why they keep adjusting betting odds just in case more players are betting on the winnable odds. It will help them cut down the money they are paying out. I think it's very a smart strategy.
