Anyone seen a better line?

betonline has -125 over 26

Books are catching on, I've been expecting that kind of juice for about a week now.

Any BetIsland players here? Anyone notice that they won't be offering player props til the playoffs. Really disappointing.

John from BI just responded and said that player props will be available within the next 72 hours. They are just going through some software changes.

Just played it at Bovada

(BOS vs NY) - Total Points - Carmelo Anthony (NY)
(5148) Over vs. (5149) Under
(5148) Over 25½ (-135) Apr 17/12@06:05p
Risking US$ 202.50
To win US$ 150.00

I have it at -150 at that line so I see value there.

Good luck Cheme, you should find that it will be on pace to hit by the end of the 1Q. Knicks run their offense through Carmelo more than any other team runs through one player right now. Once Amare comes back that all changes, but this offense is centered around Melo.

At the sametime everyone and their brother have been playing it for the past 5-10 games and he has pretty much gone OVER everytime. However I will say this, if there is a team to hold him UNDER, I think it would be the Celtics. But the fact that he went for 40+ against the Bulls says a lot IMO. When Carmelo is ON, he is the best scorer in the NBA. Yes, I said it. Better than Durant, better than LeBron, etc.

yeah hes been on fire...just not much value at that juiced up price imo...

but i never said u shouldnt hammer it if u love the bet...just personal prefrence thing...

im thinkin bout taking the under just for the value, but havent decided yet just accoring how high it goes

Les_Nuts · 04-17-12, 06:05 PM

Definite pass for me. I don't mind juice but this is too much, only way I would play it is in a parlay. Don't know how I got him at +102 vs Heat

Cheme82 · 04-17-12, 06:26 PM

I definitely wouldn't play it at the OP's posted line and juice, but I have him getting to at least 26 2 out every 3 games like this one so -135 is a deal. Whether it ends up cashing or not is a different matter.
