Nobody finds this a little bit weird?

Wouldnt Bost - 3 for the game or at least on the ML be a play ??
Why did the line go up if Chandler is playing ?

Chandler was questionable so the line was Bos -2. Then Chandler got announced out so it went from -2 to -3. 1H line hasn't budged, most books are just juicing Boston -1 1H.

Why isn't Boston at least -1.5 1H? I've never seen a book have a full game line of -3 and a 1H line of -.5.

Books just playing mind games just take these live tonight. Both games look like traps or could go either way really. Like last night when almost half the Wiz team was announced out the line only went up 1.5/2 pts with everyone and their mom already on Grizz. So I said fukk you Vegas give me the +5. Hahahaha

Hate to say it because I'm a Knicks fan, but when this happens, the Knicks will be up at half and the celtics will more than likely cover the original spread of -2 and quite possibly the -3 as well

Speedy88 · 03-26-13, 05:33 PM

It's pretty weird that some shops have -3 full game and -1 1H. But to have -3 full game and -.5 1H is REALLY weird. Books might clean up on Boston 1H tickets.

I am going to play Bost -1 (-$118) 1st h

will chase with Boston 2nd h if needed

Speedy88 · 03-26-13, 05:47 PM

Playing Knicks 1H.

Wulfman14 · 03-26-13, 05:47 PM

Knicks tend to play better in first half, but still .5 and -3 ?!

Knicks 1H is money. It's all in the lines guys.

Seto · 03-26-13, 07:22 PM

great call.

Nice...although how in the world books knew Celtics would come out so flat this game is beyond me.

It seems Boston played the game of their life against Miami, and have not been the same since. I think losing that game has put them on major tilt.

Wulfman14 · 03-26-13, 07:24 PM

Nice hit speedy. I got them for the game though .

Books got a better feel for these games than any of us. I just trust the lines. There was no way they were going to get killed on Bos -1 1H when the full game line was -3.

Nice hit speedy, i tailed behind you.

Its all in the lines..
