[bubblebuttluv]

Gsw +8!!!!!!!!

How about GSW +7.5. Sharp as a damn blade!

[thehoorse]

You knew, huh? Man, it must be awesome being that awesome.

[mikefromsd]

unreal

[thehoorse]

Not going to lie. That one hurt.

[tto827]

How about GSW +7.5. Sharp as a damn blade!

If you bet GSW +7.5 the very last word I'd ever use to describe you is sharp

[PorkChop]

How often does a team down 7 in final minute not foul? Rarely ever. Let alone the playoffs

There is no further definition of sharp than covering your bet by a half a point... There was no way you could have bet that more perfectly, you damn troll. Use your mind.

If GSW missed they probably would fouled, and the Nuggets aren't good FT shooters, so I still think the Warriors would of back door.

Sharp is getting the best number on the right side. So you're trying to tell me that the guy who got +7.5 is sharper than the guy who got +8?

Denver -7 was sharper than GS +7.5, even though one pushed and the other won.

The guy who bets Denver -7 will make more in the long run.

[tto827]

Wait, wut?

u srs?

Bubblebutt just asking to get buried

Actually I always think 7 is the key number. Team usually keep fouling if they are down by 6. Usually, they stop fouling when they're down by 7 , especially if they don't have multiple timeouts. I could be wrong but as far as I remember, Celtics did the same thing in game 1 against Knicks ( same spread as well ). I think mathematically, its impossible to mount a comeback down by 7 and not having the possession of the ball. Tell me how often a team wins a game in that situation?

[alamo]

Mark Jackson did the right thing. Called the troops in to preserve the energy. He didnt even want to go to Denver in the first place anyway let alone be battling when down 7. Last thing on his mind is some chump on SBR who has the nugget -7.5

[bubblebuttluv]

There are some haters on this board. I know some of you guys got buried on here, but take your loss like a man.

[Jayvegas420]

LOL
There are few men here!

Still waiting on an explanation of how the guy who had GS +7.5 is sharper than my +8

[Potentate]

I got 1 unit on +8 and two in +13 live. Put 2 units on +7 live but pushed. I dont get to say it often, so let me take the chance: tried to tell peeps thered be no blowout and the dubs would cover +8... Theres was never any reason to think they couldnt. I was at a meeting during the game, but I hear they actually got penetrated by the officials or it may have been closer.

[bubblebuttluv]

The explanation, you idiot, is that when I got my line yesterday it was GSW +7.5 at -110. Tonight my bet covered without me having to pay any more for the extra half point so it was the sharpest line possible for a GSW backer like myself, you total dumbass. Learn some math before you talk shit again.

NBA Key Numbers
by Predictem.com Staff
Key numbers in the NBA aren't worth as much as football's 3 and 7, however there are a couple numbers that are very important and more often landed on than any other numbers. Those numbers are 2 and 7.
When a sportsbook puts out a spread of 2 points, their expecting a real close game that they expect will come down to the final moments. Movement around this number can be lethal as in all reality teams are playing to win, not cover the spread.
Many astute bettors will look for an opportunity to middle when the number moves around 2 as the likelihood of catching an in betweener while betting both ways is more likely.
The second most important number is 7. The reason 7 comes up so much is that it's essentially three possessions and around the time that teams will quit fouling another team if their behind.
As noted above, the 2 and 7 in hoops aren't as strong as the 3 and 7 in the NFL, but are two digits surely worth watching when trying to figure out what key numbers are when handicapping pro basketball games

[vyomguy]

terrible bad beat.

But this is NBA. Nothing new.

Moving on to next pick.

Sorry to those who followed. Hopefully some of you got it at -7 in the morning.

I got +8 without buying anything, lots of shops moved to 8 for a while, anyone can bet the closing number, rarely is it truly sharp, let me know how it works out for you in the long run though.

I would call you stupid, but calling you stupid is an insult to stupid people.

Good info.

[amrit]

Don't worry vyom, you'll get 'em next time...you're hitting at a ridiculous rate you have to lose sometime. Do you have anything in mind for tomorrow?

At least somebody gets it

If only I could put what I preach to practice more often

[ROFLcopter]

What a brutal beat. Looked like the refs were trying to help the Nugs as much as they could too

[bubblebuttluv]

Well me placing my bet yesterday was what caused my number to be +7.5 instead of +8. Understand the context before you mis-label my bet as not sharp.

[Brebos]

How about GSW +7.5. Sharp as a damn blade!

So you do make good betsStop the juicing dawg

[tto827]

So you're anti-sharp, books move lines the opposite direction of your bets?

Dear god this is too easy.
