    For every Miami Heat game the rest of the playoffs..

    Just seems to be better off betting it live. You'll get a much better number than the original line at some point in the first half.

    Just seems like they never come out full steam from the start.

    For example, line today is -9, yea that looks decent, but Ill wait to the 1st quarter when Milwaukee goes on a bit of a run, and ill get Miami - 2 or 3 and unload on that. No point to me in ever betting an opening Miami line

    idk about 1h but whole game for sure you are likely to get better line but more juice as well. Last game yes they struggled first half on the road, but first two games at home they dominated 1h. May get much worse line unless your betting MiL

    You could say the same thing about the other side. Timing.

    Yeah man it is so simple to play those "better" lines when Miami is down, on top of paying more juice. This isn't a strategy, bro.

    I am not saying you can't find good live lines, but it has more to do with game flow,etc. Not just, I will wait til Miami is down early and then jam the live line. Sports betting isn't simple, when you think it is you will lose.

    strong start looks like they want that week of rest, trying to bury the bucks quickly

    Sorry guys. It was -4 for the 1st half. -8 for the game was the smallest spread

    My mistake

    Bucks and their jump shootong O dont appear capable of putting a run together to bring the live line down. Heat -5.5 2h regular juice may be best price left.

    Zero intensity from the Heat. Better not let the Butts hang around til the end.

    Once again, NBA TEAM'S DO NOT GIVE A F.U.C.K. ABOUT THE SPREAD. That's why I ate the juice and took Heat ML.

    Seeing -8 now, beats the opening line by a .5 point. Looks like the books agree the Heat might not have it in them to beat the Bucks by double digits again.

    Who said they do? But there is no value in taking double digit ML favorites

    yeah, but sometimes they still can't cover a spread no matter what... Heat 2h -4.5 was pretty easy. same old story, they dominated the 4th quarter put it away then cruised last couple minutes
