    at most sites that monitor wages.

    Note, this is in total bets, not money wagered.

    ORL +7.5 appears to be a tad to high to this observer as well..........probably will pass on the game, even though I like Orlando in this spot. The betting term "trap" would seem to apply here..........but then again, perhaps not. I definetly believe its bet ORL or pass the game.

    Hell, they could be up 4-0 in this series right now if not for a miracle shot.........and they are getting 7.5 pts????

    Last game was deemed a HUGE trap and we know how that turned out to be

      This even appears to be more such, given the line.

        I believe it's to due with the public's obsession with Lebron James. Without knowing the amount of money bet it's hard to get too much insight into the way these lines have been crafted, all I know is that Cleveland was far too heavily favored for the series and on the road.

          Ive played the Magic every game.. its been almost too easy. I bought it up to +9 and i feel good again. If Clev wins by DD.. do you think Orlando will end it at home in 6 ?

            Fishhead,

            Go eat some gorilla dong. You know nothing about sports capping. When someone has no record posted here his advice is garbage. At least MushyLou went 2-12 when he was posting NBA picks.

              I sure hope ORL takes the series........I actually think they may win tonight.

              Why I'm not betting this is beyond me.

              Probably will have to break down and put a few cents on ORL at this price.

              Perhaps even a small ML wager as well.

                no way basketball fanatics are that stupid. everyone sides with winners. just look at the forum, and even on all the money on orl on tonights game.

                thats how books drain the money away.

                cavs is so horrible this series but with 70% on orl il take my chances on the other side

                  Well I don't know that it's a matter of being stupid, but I think that the Cavs were a little over-billed in terms of how they swept Atlanta & Detroit, #1 seed etc, I don't think many thought Orlando had a chance.

                    Cavs would not be as good as they are if they played in the Western Conference!
                    If it seems to good to be true it usually is!!

                    I have a natural instinct to exploit market ineffieciencies!!

                        I think you are right about the public being "obsessed" with Lebron. I would love to see Lebron and Kobe go at it in the finals but right now that doesn't look so good.

                        Orlando has got "momentum" going for them right now. They were the number #3 team in their conference and they beat the #2 team (Celtics). It doesn't look like the #1 team in their conference is gonna hold up against them either.

                            Never mind, ML went from 73% Orlando to 51% Cleveland in last two hours or so.

                              yes, including me. its more of how orl played the first two series on my part not on how cavs routed theirs.

                              i mean bettors based the outcome of a game base on the last game teams played. orl shot well the last time and they expect them to do an encore.

                                  Didn't all of you ride Denver +6 yesterday, how did that work for you?...

                                  Orlando will not cover EVERY single game. I expect Cleveland to blowout Orlando tonight.

                                            Kobe is not a one man team, that award goes to LBJ and the Cavs. No i didn't bet the Nuggets

                                                i agree the refs are doing what they can for the cavs but the problem is orlando is screwing up sterns plans- but the nba losing lots of money i doubt the nba ever loses lots of money they just fix games so bettors lose not them

                                                    the last game was just that last game. anyway the cavs were a loose ball that williams fell trying to get and knocked the ball out of bounds away from covering. he gets that ball and they foul. magic get the ball with about 9 seconds left down by three. could have gone way diffrent
