The line they pulled that TBO bet was about 10% off the "real" line. Right now I can go to SIA and get Washington + 4 tonight, which is 33.3% off the current consensus of 3. Is that a bad line?
I understand there's room for argument here, but am always amazed at the passion with which some posters attack the player in this case. When what's off in the line is the sign (-145 compared to +145), that's a mistake. This case isn't that cut and dried.
Think TBO has a good idea -- define an acceptable difference from the Stardust line or some other standard, and get this into an area where there can be some objective standards. No one gains when the potential for abuse is so great.
