Vegas sets lines in order to get equal numbers of bets on both sides.
The lines they set tend to be REALLY accurate with one major exception:
When they set lines for "fan favorites" they tend to set them a little higher because they know they will get lots of bets from "ignorant fans." Again their goal is equal number of bets on BOTH sides of the number. I think the Lakers will actually be worse than 52.5, probably closer to 50.5.
