I've been watching the Cav's all year and I can't think of another team with so many double digit lines. I'd estimate at least 20 games have had lines in double digits. Even the Lakers and C's rarely have those type of lines. They seen to cover even with these wild lines and their up 10 in the 1st few minutes tonight. Incredible.

I always play them on the money line. But, their half time lines are ridiculous.

No way in hell can I take them with lines that crazy. I took the Grizzlies 1st half -9.5. Started to look like a sucker bet but the Griz are settling down.

It just seems strange that there lines are so high, especially at home. You would think the Celtics and Lakers would be just as high. I remember one game they were favored 19. I can't recall an NBA team ever being favored that much, even back in the invinciBulls days. I'd be curious to know historical line stats but I don't know a good site to look at.

There is a dude that has a "Fade the Cavs" thread and he is getting murdered.

I've seen that... I know I rode them the first 20 or so games of the season and they were easy money. Lately, these lines are too scary for me to bet anything heavy.

Cav's have doubled up the Griz already 32-16. I guess I should have went with them tonight as well

ZXCVBNM · 02-24-09, 08:17 PM

-16 and i STILL took them.

Should've taken 1q 2q 3q 4q half, ml, spread too lol

you won't find many double digit lines but the cavs always love blowing teams out on their home floor. not to mention the grizz are the worst road team in the league.

Cavs just bury you, they are getting better and better and getting closer to the highest rated betting line team in nba.

Jesus Christ moved the line.

Griz down 22 and the 2nd half line still has the Cav's -2. I don't know what to do here. I just got creamed going with the griz first half. Well, I didn't bet much but the line got creamed. What's the play here guys? I'm thinking Cleveland.

JJ, do you know anywhere I could find stats on that?

jjgold · 02-24-09, 08:28 PM

I do not think there are stats on that

The odds makers rate teams and come up with a line off the ratings with a few adj for home court and injuires

Gold Sheet has decent nba ratings

I've been trying to find some type of betting line database, where you can find historical data. I guess noone keeps this info.
