    Indiana is in no way better than the Heat. The first two games, Indiana played great, and Miami played below average and yet it was still tied 1-1. You have to get a better understanding of what is really happening behind the box scores..

    Just when I thought that we had this whole betting thing figured out... Miami enters the 4th quarter with a head full of steam and a 15 point lead. Oh well, I guess we will have to go back to the drawing board, lol..

    Contrary to popular belief, they really don't care how much money is on either side if they set their lines correctly because in the end, the lofty 4.54% house edge they enjoy makes them all the profit they really need without having to resort to wild schemes and cons. Plus, you are assuming all the books in the world are working together to make something like this happen, thrust me, they don't. Competition among them is just as fierce as any other business, as linesmen are highly prized and sought after.

    With that said, Linesmen are not soothsayers, so if you can interpret the same information they have differently and set the line differently. You can find your advantage and negate their edge and actually shift the margin toward your side of the action. So, Is this what you are trying to do?

    If everyone would just edit their signature to "But who knows what'll happen," there's be a lot less flaming on this forum... lol.

    I can't wait to hear the prelude and gambling ideology on game 4, it should be very interesting.

    Lesson: Don't try and "guess" what the books are doing. Watch all of the games and bet on the team you think will win.
