1/30 money on celtics tonight,but, could it be a book trap at only -5.5?

[jerseykai]

the only play today that i have is the boston celtics to beat the detroit pistons at the moneyline of -230.

1 unit=100$ for me
i am risking 4.6 units to win 2 units.

i am about 7%(it seems like a trap to rake in dough) sure that my play will actually cover. the line just looks toooooooo goood. i feel like the oddsmakers have some inside information that everybody else doesn't have. the line started at -5 last night, moved to -6 in the morning and then moved back to -5.5. i am assuming that they are just getting equal action on both sides. i THINK that is because the public is seeing the spread fluctuate, and they think that a lot of wise guys are betting the other side, or "steam" i believe is the term. either way, this is the only remotely good play today that i like today. best of luck to us all....

i dont see how it could be a trap, they are a big road favorite, and those are the hardest bets to win. but i dont see how its a trap.

i hope your right....

[ryanXL977]

would you be that shocked if pistons won, as a home dog? happens every day right? so i dont see how celts-5.5 on the road is wise. i would much prefer taking pistons but i wish u luck amigo

home dogs always pay

i think the line should have opened at -8 at least because the pistons are incohesive at the moment, their past 2 or 3 recent meetings, i believe the celtics won by an average of 10. that's why i think their is something wrong with this line to have it at -5.5 now. even if the pistons are home underdogs. it should be more in my opinion.

first meeting this season : 98-80 home
seconde meeting this season: 88-76 at detroit
third meeting last season: 89-81 at detroit

and no i wouldn't be shocked if the pistons won as a home underdog. BUT, i would be shocked if the pistons won as a home underdog of +5.5 against the BOSTON CELTICS, with the issue of richard hamilton or allen iverson pissed off because either one of them should be starting but one is coming off the bench.i also don't feel that they have that billups strong leadership anymore.

i agree pistons are garbage and a disasters, like the suns, but they are capable of beating boston at home. i dotn think they will, but i wont be suprised if they do. boston cant win every game vs detroit. or can thye!!!:>

the spread is not a trap. Detroit sucks, but they are not as bad as other teams that the celts have destroyed. The spread would be higher if the game were in boston too, but detroit gets some favor because they are at home. The line will move, just take it while it's low if your going with beantown!

It's the celtics. even people in detroit will be betting against the pistons.
