How do books know NBA lines so good?

[ChiLLx]

The NBA is the WWE of sports leagues. This is well know. Stay far away

[RavensFan2k3]

Well some lines are intentionally off that is where artificial intelligence comes in. It can also pick whether people will bet largely on a bigger favorite spread then a dog. It can analyze betting history of the public and where money is going. For example I’m guessing most people took New Orleans or Charlotte tonight. I don’t know that for sure but the line could be set even larger on the public convincing them it’s going to be a blow out. Also, same can be done with setting a favorite lower to intentionally make it look fishy to get people to bet the dog. Even if the intelligence thinks differently about what the games really will be. I think this is why sometimes team totals don’t really match spread or they don’t match game over under. Anyhow that’s my 2 cents on it

Omg someone who gets it!

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Laker, my 2-cents. NBA is big-market, so the oddsmaker puts a good bit of effort into the lines-making. Not too many rotten lines.

They study the travel schedules annually, so not many errors there. Just not a lot of bad lines in NBA.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

cannot beat them

I love guys that think lines are off on some games

Don't EVER listen to this guy, boys. What are u gonna do? Let someone tell u that you're not good enuf?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Oh...ok.

Laker, we'll talk shop one of these days. You ever get to Vegas? If so...we meet up + lunch on me.

NBA no joke. Not ez...but I would never concede that it's un-beatable.

The books are amazing.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers are ahead by three points.

The live line came out with Lakers +2.

Of course I jumped on it. They were giving me five points for the fourth quarter. I have to take that.

How do the books always know?
