I have done enough research in Basketball betting and found following: When I say NUMBER I mean Point Spread for BASKETBALL

1.NUMBER IS ACCURATE
2.NUMBER IS LEVEL FIELDED
3.NUMBER IS INFLATED


Most of the time these days, situation no. 1 and 2 are prevalent and Bookmakers are not taking positions mostly.
It makes no sense to bet in these situations. (1&2).
When number is inflated (situation 3), you are too scared to bet not knowing why the number is inflated in the first place?
How and when to bet then? thoughts?

WNBA Minnesota LYnx -3.5.. NUMBER IS INFLATED but I will take a chance and betting $500 on Washington Mystics +3.5.. today..

[Optional]

How can a spread be accurate as well as inflated?

What does level fielded mean?

I never said Numbers are accurate and inflated for same game. Situation 1 and 3 are for different games.
when I say Number is level fielded what I mean is spread is kept to make odds LEVELED or equal for a 50/50 probability. Example, a team with power rating differential of let’s say 7 is expected to have a spread of 10-12 playing at home with advantage, however Books are keeping the spread of let’s say 5-7 or in other words LEVELLED to make it 50/50 probability for the game ( could be due to injury to some players or other factors that we can’t predict).
