My first thought is Over here.

I don't know about the spread, but after taking the Spurs in Game 1, I fully expect Heat to win Game 2 (while Spurs should win the series).

But, having said that, I expect Spurs to score at least 92 points tomorrow. Duncan won't start as poorly, three pointers should go better for the Spurs as well. I expect Spurs to score 92 - 96 points.

Heat should attack the rim much more in game 2. I also fully expect them to shoot just as well. Allen found his shot the last two games. Miller been decent as well. Battier can become a non factor already in Game 2 and Cole and Chalmers usually hit their shots.

99 - 92 or 101 - 97 - I expect something between those results in Game 2...

lets get the spurs attention when they were probably happy to win one out of two... nice job WOW

D Wade didn't need that comment to make him look weak. We've all watched the playoffs.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Parlay Nadal ml & Heat ml. If you lose, go to bed knowing the sporting world is free of fixes.

More seriously, I like the Over, will hunt it live. Recent run of games seem to have been heavily weighted with 2nd half Unders, which have made for FG Unders. Nothing lasts forever.

You must not be following the NRL this year, BC. It's putting the NBA and WWE to shame...

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Ahaha. I think you mean the NRfuckingL. I quit betting that piece of shit (outside the playoffs) a long time back.

 

[smh212]

For me it's Heat or nothing on the side. The trend of Heat opponent in the first half, Heat in the second half. Over also has my interest.

 

[divol]

I like Heat as well. But the problem is that the feeling is that the whole world is on Heat and that if they win and cover, the books will simply go bankrupt...

Don't like to back such a huge consensus...

BS numbers.

I personally know over 30 guys that take Heat tonight and don't know even one that takes the Spurs.

On top of that, look at this forum, Covers and any other forum that you know. How many people backing Spurs?

Maybe those numbers are true only in San Antonio with their fans still betting on them...

If I went into Excel and created a 5 second spreadsheet with fake percentages of my own on this game, it would carry the EXACT same amount of weight as the above.

 

[raems]

Bottom line is Vegas would love nothing more than a Spurs domination in this series.

The amount of Heat +180 - +220 futures tickets that they're holding from earlier in the year/preseason, along with chalkier Heat futures from later in the year, outweighs any amount of individual game money they'll be taking on from Spurs backers.

no disrespect raems but thats bullshit

you can think what you want but the percentages are accurate... ive been using them for over 5 years and they make sense

what makes you so sure that the books need the spurs? Just because the heat are the defending champs? They havent exactly looked invincible so far.

there are 15,000 wagers in those numbers from 9 different books



anyway.... in the playoffs these numbers do not matter much because the spreads do not change much game to game... they are just adjusted for hca and injuries... otherwise the books would be showing their hand... if its less than 70% it really doesnt make a difference, books arent going to lose sleep over it

 

[nbafan88]

Lebron is comparing his failures in Cleveland to his current situation. He doesn't want to take over games on his own because he did that in Cleveland and failed. This makes very little sense to me. Hopefully he realizes how stupid that is.

Never understood why any book would give out this information?

 

[nbafan88]

Why not? Giving out the information does no harm to the books at all. They want action. From whereever it may be. Bettors that go against public %s brings forth more money for the books. Why shouldn't they put it out there?


Now to the fact that with that information, the bettor still has to decide to make the wager. The public wins ALL the time so simply fading the public is dumb. Trust me. It's not that simple.

I was just letting divol know that everyone is not on the heat.

Do you guys honestly feel that SI is just duping its subscribers by putting out false data and making up stories on how they get the data? Lol

you can go to covers right now and see people on the spurs. It's just the "general" feeling that the heat will bounce back and that's true. But saying that everybody is on the heat is just wrong.

my comment has nothing to do with this game, was a general statement - i understand what you are saying - again I don't see why a company would put their position (true or false) out there for public consumption .....just my .02

talk about a lack of team spirit for these guys, announcing the starting line up and there are no high fives?

I understand what you're saying but I'm asking you why wouldn't they?

It could very well bring forth a group of bettors that would not be betting if that information was not provided. And if that was the case the books are benefiting by providing the information.

The spurs are so much better than the heat it's not even funny. The only advantage the heat have is LEBRON and he is being a pussy right now and is stuck on his point guard mentality.


The spurs are the epitome of what a great basketball team is.
