If the books knew that everyone would be on boston, shouldnt they have made the magic line a lot lower? Why would they give boston higher number than game 1. Is this game really a trap? I honestly dont see boston getting blown out too bad tonight.

You have to remember, that from the books perspective, they care about the volume of money, not the number of bets on each side. The books will occasionally hold a line steady despite unbalanced action because they expect the public pick to lose, but more often than not its because the bets coming in on the side getting 30% of the action are much larger on average so the disparity is not as severe as it seems on the surface.

However, I suspect that this game is the former and not the latter...

Magic May just be the right play...but.. I'm just gonna ride the Celtics bus till the wheels come off

+8 to a team who's been on a roll and has shown they can bang with the best of em.

1st half under 94 Boston/Orl (5X)

If you keep record : we win with HF -4 ( 1st H ) 6-0 ATS when FG lines -6 or -6.5.
And when the FG at -7 , -7.5 - 1st Half (HF-4 ) ONLY :2-6 ATS

So 1st half tonight should be Boston +4 because full game is -7

yeah they are favored but i have yet to see vegas take a position on this line..

nah i don't like sheed cause i think he slacked the whole season, i understand he came to boston for the playoffs, but he's very frustrating to watch as a player at times. i love what's he doing in the playoffs so far, just don't like how long it took him to get his ass in gear and 'in shape'

also watching him brick more threes during the season than antoine walker used to was an especially sore subject because he can be a good post player, he's just lazy, that's why i don't like him, he needs baby's intensity which he's finally starting to display now with some regularity, just expected it before this for the dollars boston gave him

I know I am going to feel stupid when I see the answer to this question, but what does HF & FG stand for?

**theplagy** · 05-18-10, 06:10 PM

Why is ORL 1Q -3?, hmm....

I'm on the under with you EX, but could you explain what you meant by the rest of your post please. Does it mean you are also taking Boston +4 for the 1st half or is that just an explanation as to why the 1st half should go under 94 points??

Many thanks and sorry if it's a trivial question

HF= home fav
FG= full game

When the home team is -4 in the first half, and the full game spread is -6 or -6.5, the home team is 7-0

When the home team is -4 in the first half, and the full game spread is -7 or -7.5, the home team is 2-6

**big0mar** · 05-18-10, 06:28 PM

1x on BOS +4 1h
1x on 1h under 94
2x on BOS +7
