Are the Bulls +3 a mandatory bet on Thursday?

sonofben · 02-21-13, 01:46 AM

I was thinking the same thing, and because of the public, the line could move down to +1? You reckon get on it now before that could happen?

I doubt it. You'll probably be able to get +3 -110 tomorrow at some point.

Dogball · 02-21-13, 01:49 AM

No, good game to pass on

sonofben · 02-21-13, 01:50 AM

Ah man, what a joke, my book is -2.5 and can't buy any points at the moment

nammertl · 02-21-13, 01:57 AM

depends...will you make a thread about how weird that Miami wins by 1?

R.P. McMurphy · 02-21-13, 01:59 AM

Thinking we may see a public split Thurs like we saw with 2 huge pub faves Wed with Heatles and Thunder. Rarely bet Heat games but they are on one of their runs right now and Bulls have not impressed lately at all. Lean Heat here but lack of inside game and Bulls advantage in paint worries me a little but hard to fade Miami when clicking like this.

So if Heatles cover expect Spurs to take down or cover at least vs flop city. These 2 squared off in playoffs so you can play the revenge angle for flop c if you want. However I believe some teams just have other teams # and I lik the better team and coach here getting pts. So guess I LEAN Heatles and Spurs at 1st glance.

MIA -3 will cash.

R.P. McMurphy · 02-21-13, 02:02 AM

I lean both road teams yikes... what's worse Bleek likes heat... fukk!

Seto · 02-21-13, 02:02 AM

Kinda reminds me of a OKC/Bulls game earlier in the season where the public pounded OKC like crazy, the line was sensibly the same (OKC a short fave) and it came down to the wire and OKC won by 4 or 5 if I remember correctly. Game was on TNT as well I think.

If I took the Bulls +3, why would I care if Miami wins by 1?

Clippers have already taken "revenge" on the Spurs twice this season, once by 21 points. I think that angle is done now.

I really think the Bulls are the play here. I wrote about this in another thread, but honestly without Rose in the lineup, and heading into the semi-dog days of the regular season, the Heat won't care about this game as much as the Bulls IMO. Bulls are scrappy enough to get this thing done tomorrow even though they are super inconsistent and cannot score worth a damn. The Bulls have been embarrassed on their home floor this year by pathetic teams such as the Charlotte Bobcats, Phoenix Suns, New Orleans Hornets, etc. But against the Heat (during the regular season) whether at home or on the road, the Bulls definitely get extra motivated. We've had a bit of a rivalry with them ever since LeBron went to Miami and especially since the Bulls faced the Heat in the playoffs two years ago. Even our role players get extra hyped for a Heat game. Look for LeBron to get double teamed quite a bit which should open up the floor for Dwyane Wade and other Heat players. If Wade & Bosh aren't really too hot tomorrow, Bulls should have a decent shot. Don't forget, the Heat are coming off a game & flight from Atlanta. The Bulls have been chilling & practicing (with Rose finally) in Chicago the last few days & should be ready for prime time. As long as the Bulls keep this game low scoring, I think they have a chance. If you don't want to pick a side, I'm thinking UNDER 186.5 might be worth considering as well.

I was talking about ATS.

sigh.

Sport_Fish · 02-21-13, 03:26 AM

Only thing that worries me is Bulls beating Miami at home earlier in the season...if Miami comes out hungry for revenge they win.

On the other hand, i think it should be a good public fade and maybe a nice spot for Miami's run to come to an end.

Speedy88 · 02-21-13, 03:26 AM

I'm most likely going to play the Bulls tomorrow. I could care less about the revenge factor. The Bulls care and "try" in the regular season, the Heat could care less about a game in February.

reppin_the_847 · 02-21-13, 03:39 AM

The Bulls SOMETIMES care & try during the regular season, but against the Miami Heat in the regular season, they almost always do.

Miami ml for me.

MrXYZ · 02-21-13, 05:25 AM

I'm leaning Bulls but just gonna play the Under 186.5. Good luck.

oldscho0led · 02-21-13, 09:59 AM

forget about the spread. Under looks good.

JayOne · 02-21-13, 10:29 AM

home underdog with public heavy on the Heat.....leaning Bulls +3

BigBoi · 02-21-13, 10:43 AM

I like the first half over. No Coin?

Allure · 02-21-13, 10:44 AM

So if this loses, is the NBA then unbettable? I mean, obviously you spend hours and lots of effort to cap this game.

I was already leaning on Bulls +3.5. My gut + Autofade Bleek =

Bulls +3.5

reppin_the_847 · 02-21-13, 11:54 AM

Guessing steam & public money on Miami is driving the line movement towards the +3.5 mark for Chicago. Once in a while Vegas does do favors when it comes to line movement. They'll still surely make money if the public has a lot of $$$ on Miami even if the Heatles lose ATS.

kmc28 · 02-21-13, 11:55 AM

I'm seeing Bulls +4 (-115)

innovation · 02-21-13, 11:55 AM

Two things I try to avoid.

Miami on the road.
Bulls at home.

reppin_the_847 · 02-21-13, 11:59 AM

Bulls @ home against almost everyone except the Heat is best to be weary of this season lol.

its trends, bull do not lose 2-3 in a row often at all, usually after a bad loss they come out on fire...

im reppin 847 too

t-wizzle · 02-21-13, 12:38 PM

Bulls will probably pull a win out of their ass.

PerfectGrape · 02-21-13, 12:43 PM

Bulls match up well against Heat and are playing them at home on a b2b. Heat still win.

JOHON8 · 02-21-13, 01:05 PM

It's pointless betting against Miami when they're on such a good run. Last night was supposed to be in favour of Atlanta, with Joe Crawford as ref and all the other BS that came with that game. But Miami still pushed through it. They're just too dangerous to bet against IMO, there are better games out there, I'd rather save my money than hope for this Bulls team to beat them.
