Come on man. You do realize that not 1 club has been favored in Atlanta this season including cavs/nuggets and magic and i think its safe to say all those clubs are better than spurs.

Absolutely not.

Because anyone with a clue about how spreads are set knows why Atlanta is favored.

As I said, that doesn't mean Atlanta will cover, but look at the damn facts.

There's no way in hell San Antonio could have been favored in this one.

If bobby said "Bet San Antonio tonight! I love them getting the points!" that would be different.

What is Vegas afraid of? If they knew Hawks would win today, the line would have been set at -6 or -7. But since they knew Spurs would roll over them like a bunch of pansies. They set a low line favorite for the Hawks.

It would have been better for them if they would have set Spurs a favorite, and have everyone POUND the Hawks as a dog.

the line was the correct line even if the spurs end up winning
having the spurs being favored is like having the bucks favored in denver the other nite
even though the bucks beat denver in denver, the lines was where it shud have been

Actually only the Cavs are better than the Spurs.

LeBron and Duncan is all you need.

Wow at the no-call on Duncan that led to a ATL 3 pointer. Yikes, that was egregiously bad.

Well, if you can believe the Spurs should be favored in Atlanta, I guess you can also believe the Spurs are the best team in the West, facts and reality be damned.

the reason the line is low is because the spurs are playing well and could very well win in ATL.
the line is exactly where it shud be, im sure half the people are betting each side tonite
if the hawks were a dog, everybody and their mommas would be on the hawks, and it would prolly lead to a very bad nite for the books

Masu485 · 03-21-10, 08:50 PM

wheels falling off for the hawks... this isn't good. this decides if i have a winning day..

Masu485 · 03-21-10, 09:42 PM

pavyracer · 03-21-10, 10:01 PM

Books make a living out of squares like booby.

bobbyfk · 03-21-10, 10:04 PM

Tealish the hawks went from 3- 3.5 sure sign of hawks cover. things happen in games but money determines most games. i know you had spurs but its 1 game dont worry about it.

When the line is too good to be true be wary of the books. They are out there to screw you.

I had Maryland today. I was one shot away from winning.
