    Utah-LAL total finally increased -- do you take the bait?

    If I remember correctly, the total has been in the 201-203 range for every game this series. Now it's at 207.

    Simply an adjustment to the series scoring, or a trap to get people to bite on the over? (82% of public on over right now)

    Just wait it out.

    I have learned that the only time that you need to bet early is when you are betting favorites.

    Other than that let people bet the OVER all day, get the best number.

    I think the only bait here would be to keep assuming that a game HAS to go under because the overs have been hitting so much. I fear a lot of people have lost money with that theory during the playoffs so far, as well as with the "XXX HAS to win this game, right?" train of thought.

    What do you cap as the final score in this one?

    UNDER is the strongest bet of the day.

    Could be, shari.

    I have it 105-101 either way. Not sure who's going to win, and the total's so close to my numbers I don't think I'll touch this game at all.

    And thanks, Houli.

    Yeah, I'm definitely staying away from the total as I wouldn't be surprised if the over hit by a point, or for that matter went under by 20. Too unpredictable so far.

    Liking ORL as well, which I fear may be sucker bet so I think I'll keep my bets to half/quarter ones in the Lakers game and make a decision in awhile about the Magic. Best of luck whatever you decide to do!!

    I still like the OVER. Utah at home can score and score fast. Lakers can do the same with Okur beat up. Plus, I can see it coming down to the very end with a bunch of free throws maybe even a overtime. For me its either Over or no bet.

    I would go with the under. Closeout games can have more intensity causing things to tighten up.

    Read an article about Phil J. wanting to limit the 3 balls. Might be a wise plan on the Lakers part to control the clock, etc unless the downtown really catches fire. Cheers
