Question linemakers at the books

when you're running a book, you're not going to have 50/50 action on every single events. are books' linemakers successful gamblers who is "making wagers" at minus vig?

my former theory is that books always want to have 50/50 to minimize risk and get a guranteed profit, but a lot of posters think that is not the case.

i know each book is different, for discussion sake, use the following 3 books: (or you can make a generalization if it is possible, or discuss book of your choice)
  1. pinnacle
  2. greek
  3. bodog
