Heat -4.5? Tell Me Why I Shouldn't Throw A Brick On This One

[PatrickBateman]

Hard to look past the emotion Cleveland has going into this game...However, even harder to ignore that Heat are 1-7 vs Above .500 teams but 10-1 vs Below .500 teams (of which a lot are blowouts) This tells me they will probably give the Cavs a pretty good beat down, but when it comes to playoffs, they are one and done.

Can't bring myself to bet on the Heat so I will avoid this game all together. I suggest the rest of you do as well and just enjoy watching the game.

NBA SET-UP hahahaaha lebron owe Cleveland this game haha throw 2 stacks on Cleveland son! Let's get it

[greenshark11]

i like the heat as well... cavs are terrible

[antifoil]

its stupid to bet this game unless it is an action bet because there are too many factors other than basketball at play

[phLLyphan11]

Man either way I can't wait for this game. I could see a Cavs win barely because of all the emotion in that building and the players will surely be fired up...and then on the other hand I could see Lebron dropping 40 and the Heat winning by 10+ to basically say F you, Cleveland. Can't waittttt

[makaveli66]

Nobody knows what will happen in this game unless it's rigged. People who are saying "Mia covers no problem" just don't get it. People on Cavs just aren't seeing the picture that in order for the Cavs to win Mia has to make alot of mistakes and beat themselves. That alone only keeps Cleveland in the game. The Cavs will stay in it for a half. Like I said, nobody knows if the Cavs are going to want it enough and if Heat make enough mistakes for the Cavs to stay in it for 4 quarters. Instant thought is to take Heat - the points but when an obvious thought like that occurs it's very often wrong.

Seriously? Thats how you're capping the game.

Nevermind stats or anything that really matters....

what stats do you have to validate your play on miami....enlighten us..

[miley]

Not an ordinary game but yes....heat it is

[Dexter]

and the heat haven't??


the difference is the Heat actually have the talent

why on earth would the heat circle this game?

i read a quote today from wade who said he would rather be watching this game then be involved in the circus show..

"talent" doesnt always cover spreads (32% ats for the Dynasty)

the public (68%) and this thread are all over the heat. my only mistake was booking the cavs at +4.5. should have waited knowing the public would pound "the better team"

[Dexter]

Definitely, people are in love with Cleveland tonight. People need to take the emotion out of it and not look at the names. Look at the numbers, its two completely different teams. Cleveland is not good and like you said are severely outmatched.

really? 68% of the public are on the heat and take a look at this thread....joe public has been in love with miami all year, and it wont stop anytime soon.

show me the numbers you're referring to - but remember, we are talking about beating a spread here. just looking at player/team stats is great if you're playing the Moneyline.

[infospy]

It's just another one of those plays LOL, just another show

[Baller85]

Just take Heat -4.5 lol

If you think emotion don't play a big part of the game your crazy!

that shouldn't influence your decision. If 70% were on cavs +5 would you still be on the cavs? If you would then it means you are confident in the cavs regardless and should stick by yoru play

[Dexter]

i do think emotion plays a big part of the game. lebron has none. hes a sell-out (see playoffs last year) and all his cavalier teammates remember that...

[Dexter]

im just pointing out that the heat are the popular choice, not the cavs as he mentioned.

i dont pay attention to those %'s when making my plays...prob one of my bigger mistakes..

[pattymayo]

Heat got this easy. Lebron will go for 35+

[nikeboyz]

hmmm so nobody is worry about bosh and wade lol

Cavs wont know what hit them

[hels]

That's why 60% are on the heat Seriously buddy, before you say anything, look at the info before opening your mouth.

[Dexter]

nice call heat backers....the cavs are toast

[MB]

Up 35...don't call it over yet. We've all seen some crazy shit.

[Dexter]

Up 35...don't call it over yet. We've all seen some crazy shit.

lol....you can exhale from your large bet bro...congrats.

Maybe yall misunderstood me or something idk. I was talking about comparing stats I could careless about the percentage on who is on what side or the publics bet. I have never cared one way or another what side the public is on. I dont watch line movements. I meant alot of people on this forum were in love with the Cavs. Doesn't matter either way now. I'm just glad I was on the right side tonight. Hopefully you guys were too.

[paco]

Can't play the b2b card cuz many Heat stars relaxed
all 2nd half.

Play the square play and let's cash, I'm big on Heat.

"sharps" lose again

[Pauulzcappin]

"sharps" lose again

bro I believe there's no sharp/square side. there's public and non-public because sharp/square can be manipulated by the situation of the play cashing or not. being on the public side or not can't.

Liked heaterz also but couldn't pull the trigger

[Goat Milk]

"sharps" lose again

Heat were the sharp side bro. a non-public bet doesn't make it a sharp side. doesn't matter how many people bet heat they weren't going to lose this game no matter what. i wish i could get -4.5 like you.

My local had -6.5 on the Heat spread
another lean of his comes through. incredible. he never loses games like this

i hope your looking into opening another account somewhere....use him to get the play, and play it elsewhere....i used to have a super sharp local guy like that years ago - i think hes in jail now

[Dexter]

"sharps" lose again

...ur the man paco

[paco]

I agree, but some "sharps" think playing the underdog and fading the public all the time is "sharp"

Public plays cash also


Shot of Patron please!

[Stinger]

Good job brosif

[Goat Milk]

i play online too but anything over 100 dollars thats not like a tennis bet i usually try go through this guy just because i'd rather deal with cash. this guy just gave me kings +5 against indy a few days ago. rocked me there. gave me memphis plus 4 at home against boston earlier this year. i got fukked. he had bucks plus 6 against the lakers when they were plus 4.5 at home (didn't bet that one) but another coming through.

never seen antying like it. remember that game last year la boston in the finals where la was like +3 on the road and my local at LA +4.5 and I didn't want to take it? boston won by like 9 or something. unreal

[Pauulzcappin]

It was on game 5 goat, I remember
