Books never lose money. The whole idea of the line is to even out the betting, so that no books lose their shirts. It's not like horse racing where a heavy favorite can cause the track to lose money on a race. Sports books are already taking these bozos into account when they set the line on a game. The betting line is designed to get people to bet equally on both teams. It doesn't work out exactly but it keeps losses and gains to a minimum.
