    Anyone Shocked At The Opening Line For Boston At Houston On Saturday?

    BetOnline Opened: Houston -6.5

    Bookmaker Opened: Houston -7.5

    BetOnline quickly changes their line to Houston -7.5

    Pinnacle Opened: Houston -8.5


    Are they giving Boston any respect?

    I'm very shocked... wanted to unload on Boston. I think the spread is too high. Oddsmakers must know the outcome?

    What seems right to you? The -6.5 or the -8.5?

    Are you saying BetOnline spins a bottle when they select lines?

    Betonline always releases the first number... and it gets corrected soon after that sometimes. This is all very routine. I give Betonline props for releasing first. They have exposure and obviously the are top-rate book and know their business

    So who's ghost are you?

    You know a lot about BetOnline for a newbie.

    You avg 32 posts a day. That's crazy.

    SBR paid poster?

    Majority of the stuff you say isn't that intuitive. The BetOnline thing was the closest so far.

    Wish I had time to post 32 times a day. Jesus.

    It seems logical to me that Houston should simply pull away from Boston... which makes that the wrong play obviously lol

    The Rockets winning 14 in a row and having a huge payback motivation here doesn't give you pause for concern?

    Oddsmakers totally pissed me off. Been waiting for this game since Wednesday. I'm amped up to place a large wager on Boston. Probably around 3k. Figured the opening line might be Houston -4.5 (maybe -5) and all the money on Houston would push it to -5.5

    Totally freaked me out when Bookmaker opened at -7.5 and then Pinnacle opened at -8.5

    Like a deer in headlights. Totally ruined my fukking weekend. Bastards.

    I'll get em back.
