    Time to move on. Will be big on the Raptors tomorrow.

    Wonder what the line will be?

    I really dont care what it is but im going at least a nickel on the raps.

    they might even win in the desert on Tuesday.

    Well, the Knicks are favored because the Bobcats are basically the worst team in the league. With that being said, I could see NY laying an egg off that Denver debacle. They probably think they'll just show up here and coast.

    If Bargnani is playing, then I agree. Line should be small either way, with the Suns laying -2 or something like that.

    Knicks have a good record against the Bobcats, don't they? 1-1?

    Why would they lay so many points off a B2B? No way... Raps would be a huge steal at +5.5

    The real line will probably be -6.5 the -9 is a statfox power rating which is wrong a lot more than right

    If the Raptors are getting that many points, I would be very surprised. I guess I need to be on the opener in the morning, just in case.

    That's true....but at the same time, people also said the exact same thing at around the 6-0 and 10-0 mark.

    Was thinking the same thing. Pacers off their West Coast road trip, feeling good after back to back wins at GSW and Lakeshow, would expect them to start slow and I look for Orlando to come out guns blazing looking to quickly get over tonight's performance. Might be on the Magic first quarter as well.

    And the chance of calling a coinflip correctly 16 times in a row is 1 in 65,536. I'm not big on blind faith.

    Yes that would be correct if it was ALWAYS a coinflip. There are many lines that are released that have a greater than 50% chance of hitting, hence why people can profit from sports.

    So to me, any run like 15-0 or even close to that means someone is picking higher value picks than 50%, because yes, hitting those many coinflips in a row is hard.

    lol if SK thinks BW just sits on his desk at his palace and grabs a silver dollar out of a drawer to "coinflip" to cap a game.


    ROFL !!!!


    this board is THE BEST! great comedy you can't find anywhere else. lmao

    You believe that on average, 15 NBA point spreads don't at least average out around p=0.5? Preposterous...

    So in words, your saying at the end of the day, lines hit at 50%, which basically = nobody in the world can profit from sportsbetting. Preposterous...

    Not a literal coin, obviously... Just remember that anytime you pick a team to win ATS, there are a lot of unspoken conditional statements about each individual player performing as expected, overall team turnovers/assists/rebounds/blocks playing out on par with expectations, etc.

    15-0 means the bounces are going your way, and great for Dad. But variance is a bitch, and no good run lasts forever. It's already into the "very unlikely" range.

    2% of sports bettors win longterm, and even the best cappers in the world will have losing seasons here and there. How many of those wins beat the spread by more than 1 possession? How many were walking away wins that were not in doubt in the final 2 minutes? Covering by 1 and covering by 10 are vastly different statements.

    Again, no disrespect to Dad/BW/anyone that's having a good year. Just saying it's not that simple.
