    Bulls Vs Sixers

    Who you got? I have the Bulls -4 and the # dipped to - 3 1/2. Real tempted to put some more on it.

    I can't argue value on Bulls, but I like this spot. Bulls have played very well since the loss to Philly. Philly has played poorly since the win. Deng is a big part of the Bulls Offense and he was missed in the loss to Sixers. I'm a Bulls fan and wise to keep emotion out of betting. Still, feel Bulls will be very motivated in this game. Rose even spoke publicly, which is rare. Thoughts?

    I liked Phili but now I see Tony Brothers is officiating and this guy never favors the home team.

    Philly Ml seems aggressive. Bulls have won 5 in a row. Sixers were dominant at home similar to Portland. Now it seems that they are reverting back to averages. Philly 2-5 at Wells Fargo last 7. Needed Golden State to break the skid.

    Bulls all the way. Its similar to the Spurs game where everyone backed spurs and bulls did their job. I think Bulls get it done

    I never let the % of bets on one side factor into by decision. Data seems cloudy. Only factor in the line movement.

    I'd love to see something like "Time and Sales" similar to stock raw data feeds. Size of bid/ask would be sweet also.

    Anybody that likes the Sixers have any strong arguements why?

    Only time the percentages should matter is when you're betting on 2 crappy mid major college teams. If over 90% is on the favorite then 'strange' things tend to happen lol

    Good point. Then again, started to think this % is open to manipulation. Low volume (mid major) close to small cap stocks. Easy to manipulate and move before you pounce on other side.

    Won the last 3 games against them, including a 16-pt blowout at home about a month ago? Sixers are a team that can disrupt Derrick Rose's offense and make him be a volume shooter.

    Philly might be regressing but there is good value on them as a home dog, IMO.

    I have under 181. That number is getting pounded now and down to 179 1/2. Moved below key # of 180. I liked it at Un 181, not 179 1/2. gl

    I want to take the under, but with a total that low, all it takes is a 2 minute scoring surge for the under to be gone.

    IMO the whole revenge thing and being on the road doesn't mix as well as revenge and being at home.

    I really want to take Sixers but something in the back of my head is telling me no. Probably just my guilty conscious after having a horrible day yesterday.

    I agree with Paulzz - the value really is on Philly
    Iguodala on a good night is beastish..
    +150 means ya can bet less
    matter of fact i was just entering a bet at 5D and the Philly ML
    dropped to +145.
    lets get it
