Books are begging people to take the Magic this game. The books set this line to get all the squares that don't know any better to jump on Orlando.
Magic +1 = sucker bet.

#8Everyone said the same things about the Celtics going into Game 7. 32-0 when they led a series 3-2, 20-5 in Game 7's, etc.
Nothing is a sure thing in gambling.Comment -

#11The question should be, whose side is the refs on tonight? Sometimes I look at the NBA as fixed. It is not a team that controls a game but the refs. Bookies and refs working together.Comment -

#12Exactly. If Howard, Lewis and/or Turkoglu are in foul trouble early and Lebron is taking it to the hoop like a man possessed, this game is Cleveland's.Comment -

#14Orlando in my opnion is a sucker bet. The books are looking for aciton. Cleveland is the better team and have had a rough series. Thier problems start with thier point gaurds and fighting in the paint. A probable turn around will come, even with a mediocore effort its only 2-1. 2-2 Tonight.
Check this out hmmm....
ORL Magic v CLE Cavaliers
Book Closes May 26 17:35
ORL Magic+110
CLE Cavaliers -130
CLE is -130!
Also look at what the books are predicting for exact series. Orlando is getting wonderful prices, cant say that for Cleveland, hmmm wonder why?
ORL Magic to win 4-1+800
ORL Magic to win 4-2+225
ORL Magic to win 4-3+800
CLE Cavaliers to win 4-2+350
CLE Cavaliers to win 4-3+140
Clearly theres a reason for the bad series pricing for Cleveland?
These are bet365 odds.
Cleveland is the bet here. I got the series not the game. Just trying to state my opnion. Respect and good luck everyone.

#15Why is Orlando +1 any more of a sucker bet than Cleveland -1, most of the public money is on Cleveland so if the books were trying to get people on Orlando they failed. But the books arn't that naive, they know most of the $$$'s going to go on Cleveland, if they really wanted money on Orlando they could have given Cavs a much higher and would have had much more money on the Magic spread with people thinking because most these games have been tight, so may aswell take the points.
If anything, more people have been encouraged to take the Cavs with the current line, the books win if Orlando wins. And it wouldn't be a total upset if they did win again at home so I don't see why the value is in Cleveland. Not saying Cavs can't do this but there's no need to write of Orlando and see this as easy money.Comment -

#16You guys just need to realize that the lines are not put out to trap people, they set the lines to get equal money on both sides and clean up on all the juice we are paying. The lines makers know that the idiotic betting public loves overrated Lebron James and they will bet on him regardless of the line. The true line for this game and should have been for game 3 is about Orlando -2.5 and maybe even 3. However knowing the donkey public is gonna bet Cleveland, they make the line more in Orlando's favor to try to get equal action and look what happened, it started at Orlando -1 and all the morons hammered Cleveland so now they had no choice but to move the line to get Orlando action. Bottom line is that Orlando is the much better team which is ridiculous to me that you guys all do not realize that yet!! Cleveland has no offense except for Lebron and he cannot win by himself, and they have been looking terrible on offense because Orlando has a great defense. Anything can happen in this game but Orlando is clearly the better team playing on their home court and they smell blood and they will take care of business today. Win or lose, it is a sucker bet to take Cleveland today, they have been overrated all year beating up on terrible teams and now they are showing that they are a one man team.Comment -

#17I don't care what anyone has to say....that was total bullshit to call a foul on Petrius on that play at the end of regulation...Lebron is a joke, that ref should be under investigation for calling such a ridiculous call..and then to pull a no call on verijao...****ing joke
these officials should be imbarrassed, as should anyone who bet on Cleveland...what a joke, absolute jokeComment -

#30im not trying to trash talk after the game - if i would have saw this post earlier i would have pointed out the public %......the other night i had said that the public would be all over cleav, which was another reason for me to take orl tonight....several people disagreed claiming that orl would be the public choice which was not even close to the case.
and thats fine, people should disagree, but i love when people start mocking others plays calling them "square" etc....Comment -
