Are Chicago Bulls being at plus money bait?

[ChalkyDog]

Pacers on a B2B.
Bulls haven't played since an embarrassing loss to Philly on Nov. 2nd. So 3 days rest and letting that loss stew and marinate.

Pacers are a very good team, top 2 in the east with Miami, but I love this spot for the Bulls myself.

I feel this would have been the line without any of the above factors. Considering the above factors is what gives me the lean.

ATS and ML seem like good plays to me.

This isn't an easy win though, that much is for sure. It will be close to the very end.

Already parlayed Bulls ML with PHX ATS just for action. Trying to talk myself into laying more on the Bulls.

Thoughts?

What have the bulls done so far to make you think they can win this game

So far this season, nothing.

But if I were to go off of what teams have done this season, I'd bet the sixers a lot more going forward.

Through all the ups and downs of this short season already, Bulls have maintained their idenity.

They lost to the best team in the NBA to start the season. They beat a troubled Knicks team. And gave away a 20 point lead to the shit sixers.

To give you a short answer to your question, they've done nothing this season to make me think they can't win.

Also, I didn't realize how public of a parlay and bet this is. For some reason with NBA I always fail to look at where the public is.

Bulls will win this game and the game on Saturday at the United Center

Bulls winning the Central

[Ghenghis Kahn]

[Chi_archie]

Pacers should kill em

[GoBlue77]

Huge Bulls fan. I dont believe in them tonight

[jjgold]

Pacers really the favs to get to finals in East

I am all over them tonight

[hus7ler]

Wait for the live lines. Try to get chicago and like +6-8. and bet like 3 units on that biznatch. My calc says itll hit about ~70%

[Cause-I-Need-It]

Chicago Bulls +120 for Game
Charlotte Bobcats +120 for Game
Golden State Warriors / Minnesota Timberwolves Over 211 -110 for Game Parlay $10 for $82.50

[chefko]

just 2 things.
1.) this is a prestige game for indi for proving they are a contender. so i see them giving everything
2.) chi is just crap from the 3 point line and is making the most points from inside. indi is great there, so i really doubt that chi has any kind of advantage. next game may be a fade for indi but not this one. hill will be playing as well...

This is a solid idea.

This game will end at the free throw line, getting a number above 7 on either side would be incredible.

Fukk it, this is what I am doing. I'll ride my parlay, too small a wager to buy out of, but trying to get a good number on either side is the way to go here.

[pattymayo]

Agree with last poster

Really an early season statement game for Indy, their 4 wins were against average teams but to start 5-0 and show they can beat another top team in the East at home. Id be surprised if they don't show up and play maximum intensity

Chicago looks out of sorts. rose will get it together soon but hard to see that happening against a team as good defensively as Indy on the road

[Ghenghis Kahn]

chalky goran might be out for tonight's game.

[rosco1131]

George Hill is officially out for tonight's game fwiw http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/1527/player?r=1

so the play is Chicago then

[crustyme]

rose and his 28% fg couldnt beat the hoosiers.

[You mad bro]

hill is out = bulls win

[pattymayo]

Line moving in Bulls favor

[ChalkyDog]

Not going to lie, I am thoroughly enjoying this game.

If the NBA could trot out a product as good as this game even a third of the time, it would be hard to argue its quality.

Even the refs, who I assume will be heard before the game is over, are letting them play. Defense with this type of talent is awesome to watch.

[ChalkyDog]

Donezo. Great game by the Pacers.

Don't know if it was the rolled ankle, or simply terrible substitution patterns by Tibbs (assume the former), but Rose being out for that key stretch killed us.

[face]

yea pretty good game
they should officiate more games like this

[ChalkyDog]

Just grabbed +8.5 -103

Right before this flagrant.

Let's see if I can get this two time loser.

EDIT: Actually they didn't take my +8.5. Bought back in at +14.5. penetrate Me.

[No coincidences]

What a pathetic fourth quarter from the Bulls.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

chicago's a 1st half team.

they don't have enough offense to keep up...

[Potentate]

At +1, yeah, I think there's a little bait factor.

[vasilli07]

Seriously, people are saying this team can challenge the Heat? They are so much weaker as compared to a few seasons ago.

[ChalkyDog]

awful! Damn you bookmaker!

Didn't accept my +8.5 for the same amount as my initial parlay.

Accepts my +14.5 for double.

Still a good game outside of a 3-4 minute stretch.

Pacers will absolutely challenge.

Bulls play defense, that plays strong in the playoffs.

told you

[ChalkyDog]

Suns can still keep my night respectable. -1/4th a unit plus vig is better than -a full unit.

Good night of basketball degeneracy though.

[Cause-I-Need-It]

Chicago Bulls +120 for Game

DOH!
