im guessing ur being sarcastic. i sure hope so cuz the pistons just won by 30 when they were getting 3

the bookmaker dont strive to get the number right or be close, they strive to get at the very worst even money, cuz if they do that they will always win

he means totals. and you only remember when they are spot on!

they are not even close most of the time.

ipickwinners · 02-24-08, 05:10 PM

dont know the numbers and dont care to look them up, but id be willing to bet the numbers in the end are not close more than 70% of the time

JColli32 · 02-25-08, 01:36 AM

okay of course they are going to be off once in awhile anything can happen we're only human but he means alot of the time they are right on.....

LLXC · 02-25-08, 02:35 AM

They're never really off...they know what the score will be. They just put lines out there for even money.

I cashed Houston -9.5 (won by 13), Dallas -6.5 (won by 16), Boston -6.5 (won by 10), L.A. Lakers -10.5 (won by 20) and over in the NY-Toronto game, which was about 15 points over the total.

I lost on the under 201.5 in the Boston-Phoenix game by a half point and under in the Memphis-Cleveland game by like two points.

All in all, I don't think you can take much conclusive from that. Their totals were good, but the spreads blew; didn't give enough points to FAR superior teams like Boston and Dallas.
