Why Illinois only -2.5 vs Minny?

(yeah, I was thinking "5 to 7 plays" on those random week nights where there aren't 175 games on the board, but I completely get ya).

GL today all!

sorry man I cant help it I stared at the card for 5 hours putting my games together. Saturdays should be called EPIC SATURDAYS instead of just Saturday basketball lol

Im probably wrong but I thought bookies shaved .5 points and 1 point sometimes just to attract more money to another game by adding the .5 point to another game or subtracting a half point from a game.

Probably wrong though

never heard of such a thing....i dont think 1 game ever relates to another 1

I'm also new here and I always want to hear his opinion on a play.

I'm much more interested in laying off a game that has a higher probability of going completely wonky than I am at making plays on every game on the board.

I think the better plan for making cash is making 5 to 7 solid plays as opposed to some of these people I see who post twenty-five picks at a time.

exactly. The other night i was looking at the lines and i saw Dallas/LAL closed in a minute. I had a random thought that Dallas would jump on them early so Dallas -1 1H was a good play. Then i said to myself "you dont know anything about this game". So i got off my PC and left the room. then i turned around ran back to my PC to bet it cause i felt that i would be losing money when Dallas covered and I didnt bet it. So i bet $50 on Dallas 1H. Got over to my tv to see that C.Butler wasnt even playing. Lost the bet.........ill never bet a game i dont feel really good about again. its stupid.

84% of bets coming in on Illinois, line has not moved in their favor. That's a big warning sign.
