MJ, This thread indicates that most 'cappers use the morning line in their analysis, or at least in their misdirected quest for perceived value.
While no issue with your assertion that the line maker should post his opinion, numerically, of how the public will ultimately assess the field, it was not the original intent of the first morning line makers.
Churn, is how tracks increase their handle and old race track owners/executives decided, correctly, that hiring someone who would "help" the public lose less, was good business. Consequentially the handle increases. It's proven an effective marketing tool over the last two hundred years or so.
For me, the morning line is a largely irrelevant data point given the ocean of material, certainly more relevant, information. bbb
