Everyone and their grandmas will be on the Heat -7 "must win, LeBron will go Superman + Batman + Spiderman mode and will take care of biz" etc etc, you know the drill.
So, please go ahead and bet on Miami -7 but remember, they DON'T NEED to win by 7+, they need to win by at least 1 point.

Maybe. But the line is set so high because let's face it, the average Joe will be ALL OVER Miami because it's a must win game. So they'll attract a shit-load of Miami money but in the same time the sharps (and i'm not a sharp by any means) will jump on the Spurs because 7 points are 7 points and this Spurs team showed they can beat Miami without a problem. Duncan can score against Bosh anytime he wants, Parker is extremly good, Green is setting records right now and Manu can deliver HUGE performances on any given day. These teams are too evenly matched to think either of them is a lock to cover the 7, but i'm much more confortable getting 7 points with a team that won't have so much pressure on its shoulders.

Disagree with basically everything except the fact that the pressure is on Miami (and basic things like that Parker is good), but if this is going to be 2011 all over again, then so be it. This series should have a different storyline though.
Public will be on Miami but the fact that they're getting 7 points will attract a lot of Spurs bets who think that's too many points for the Heat to give. Regardless the slight majority will be on Miami yes.

Most of sbr thinks heat series is a sharp play. Therefore bet spurs + 7 in gm 6 and small ml spurs. Then if heat win 6 bet spurs + whatever and spurs ml medium in gm 7. Pressure is on miami so dare those miami fuks with their pat riley wanna-be coach win 2 in a row against the spurs.

Line moved to +6.5 now
Obviously a line move won't decide the winner of this game, but to think that almost EVERYONE is on Miami and yet the line moves the other way makes you
Go ahead, keep betting blindly on Miami like they've got some superpowers and OF COURSE Bron won't lose game 6, he WON'T ALLOW IT

Link? Most sites I see have the public slightly on the Spurs actually. I don't really trust those sites but I doubt they're that far off that the public is actually POUNDING the Heat as you suggest. Stop thinking SBR is the public.

Talking about the average Joe, they'll be on Miami automatically. Not only in the US. Of course the guys that are a little bit educated understand the value of getting 7 points in this type of game. I don't trust sites like vegasinsider, etc either. Just checked and 60% of the ML bets are on SA, so that's right, most people are on SA actually.

The only time the pressure is on Miami is when they are ordered to LAY down....
Laying down is the toughest thing to do for super competitive mind set's, which is a natural trait for ALL professional athletes........
Game 3 and 5 were perfect examples.........

spurs +7 looks way to easy....hard to go agaisnt heat at home coming of a loss....everyone knows the heat can crank the heat up at anytime and its so hard to go against them in this spot. If they won the last game I would take spurs here but i see this a back and forth game till the end.

To be honest, I want the Heat to win, really. For some reason I want LeBron to win another chip, but don't think Miami can win by 7+.

my take is i cant fault people for taking spurs +7 but lebron's LEGACY is on the line in this Finals and i cant get over that, wont bet against it. 100's of jordan comparisons, i cant see in my head them losing this series, so i see the Heat winning this and next one. Lebron will never be considering top 5 player of all time if the dude is 1-4 in NBA Finals. period.
plus i find it odd so many are on the Spurs when the Heat have murdered every team after a loss. like completely destroyed.

I know, but I do think Miami will play a little more... scared, maybe? After all, the execution has to be flawless today. Don't get me wrong, I really hope Miami wins SU, but doesn't cover.

So now it's about "education"?
Many people were all over the Pacers in game 7 saying there was no way they could pass up 7 points in a game 7.
Many people were all over the Spurs in game 2 because of the "value" of getting +260 or whatever it was on Spurs ml.
Not saying the Spurs can't cover or even win but you're fooling yourself if you think the "sharp" gamblers in the world are on the spurs and the "square" joe's are on the heat. There are sharps and squares on both. And according to #'s, as bullshit as they may be, slightly more bets are coming in on the Spurs.

Seto, SBR very much represents the Public.
This is the ONLY reason why I come here, to see what the squares, or Public are thinking. Do you really think anyone with betting experience comes here to get real Handicapping advice?
Just look at SBR's typical betting angles.
Heat must win because they are due
Heat must win because of ZigZag theory
Heat must Win because Stern wants 7 games to make more money
Heat must win because Lang, LAnders and Lakerboy are on the SPurs
Heat must win because the Refs have money on the Heat
Heat must win because the league is rigged
Thats about the best you get from SBR...

Actually, the sharpest bet is the winner one. Nothing else matters, after all, this is just a bet out of hundreds/thousands bets we make every year.

Thats not true at all bud, the sharp play is the side with the calculated edge, or value like Seto said.

More so like 5% after the refs were announced at 9:00 am.
