Strange Line of the Day

**fsugolf** · 03-22-10, 06:25 PM

books want the atlanta money?

**whatsgood5** · 03-22-10, 06:27 PM

Looked strange to me as well, made a small play on the Hawks ML

**constrictor** · 03-22-10, 06:29 PM

no not strange

**HoulihansTX** · 03-22-10, 06:29 PM

Bucks have been killing the books ATS wise. They had to make Bucks line rich in order to get some money back from them

**pokernut9999** · 03-22-10, 06:31 PM

Bucks 23-9 @ home
Hawks 17-17 on road.

Line looks right to me.

**lakerboy** · 03-22-10, 06:31 PM

yep and the whole forum is on atlanta

**HoulihansTX** · 03-22-10, 06:31 PM

Bucks are 35-16 ATS in their last 52 games.

Books looking to get some money back from those Bucks.

**THEGREAT30** · 03-22-10, 06:33 PM

Bucks should have beat ATL in Atl not long ago. The play is not the spread nor the moneyline though, that's the catch to this one

**lakerboy** · 03-22-10, 06:34 PM

yup the play is bavetta

**yisman** · 03-22-10, 06:35 PM

one more note:

The Bucks have not been blowing teams out lately.

Last 7 games:

beat LeBron-less Cavs by 7
beat Boston by 2
beat Utah by 8
beat Indiana by 4
lost to Clippers by 8
beat Kings by 6
beat Nuggets by 5

Three against good teams, four against bad teams (counting Cleveland as bad, of course).

Home Team ATS 19-30-1

O/U 13-37

So Bavetta is still the NBA's main gunner huh?

**tltaylor89** · 03-22-10, 06:57 PM

Took the Hawks Nets are making my head hurt Heat should be up huge

**callim105** · 03-22-10, 06:59 PM

ha oh man its all underdog

**yisman** · 03-22-10, 07:05 PM

This could be considered reverse line movement, actually.

lakerboy mentioned how the board is on Atlanta, and two others said books want Atlanta money.

Well, I think it's more that while the public is on Atlanta, the people driving the market are on Milwaukee.

Check out Bookmaker's line history:

POINTSPREADS
03/21 16:31 +3½ -110 / -3½ -110
03/21 16:35 +4 -110 / -4 -110
03/22 00:15 +4½ -110 / -4½ -110
03/22 08:05 +5 -110 / -5 -110
03/22 10:37 +4½ -110 / -4½ -110
03/22 10:54 +5 -110 / -5 -110
03/22 11:45 +6 -110 / -6 -110

So 3.5-4 was more in line with what I thought, yet the money drove the line up to 6.

**lakerboy** · 03-22-10, 07:12 PM

bookmaker made a mistake opening at 3.5 in the first place and sharps corrected that in 4 minutes. yes for sure you have a point yisman.

**jjgold** · 03-22-10, 07:13 PM

Bucks one of toughest teasm in the league right now

I thought same thing with the line

**LT Profits** · 03-22-10, 07:27 PM

This is not the first time that a line has been inflated a tad vs. a team that played an overtime game the night before.

**fsugolf** · 03-22-10, 07:28 PM

oh you mean like denver vs the bucks a few days ago

**lunchbawks** · 03-22-10, 07:31 PM

atlanta is out for blood. they can run and gun with the best in the league. you know they're out to win tonight, the bucks aren't for real, take atlanta ML for it tonight.

30 minutes into the game boss. Bucks are for real though. Once that bum Redd was injured it allowed better players to get playing time. Also it forced Bucks to make a move for Salmons, who is a better two-way player than Redd.

Also Scott Skiles is a great coach. He won everywhere he was in the NBA, but never had the talent he has now.

**lunchbawks** · 03-22-10, 07:37 PM

HAHA im in new zealand right now, I realised that right after i posted it!

My bad, the hours are much different it's only noon right now.

**WillC** · 03-22-10, 09:23 PM

ATL covers!!

it was close though .. Hawks couldn't miss tonight

**fsugolf** · 03-22-10, 09:26 PM

bucks couldn't pull away late when they got up by 5, oh well, nice win ATL backers

**Chi_archie** · 03-23-10, 08:49 AM

nice job atlanta

**LVBOUND** · 03-23-10, 08:54 AM

I agree the line was real odd. I was thinking 3 or 4 at most. So I took mil ml. I worked out for me and the 3 point line I thought it should be was the margin.
