    Anyone Shocked At The Opening Line For Boston At Houston On Saturday?
    BetOnline Opened: Houston -6.5

    Bookmaker Opened: Houston -7.5

    BetOnline quickly changes their line to Houston -7.5

    Pinnacle Opened: Houston -8.5


    Are they giving Boston any respect?

    I'm very shocked... wanted to unload on Boston. I think the spread is too high. Oddsmakers must know the outcome?

          What seems right to you? The -6.5 or the -8.5?

          Are you saying BetOnline spins a bottle when they select lines?

            Betonline always releases the first number... and it gets corrected soon after that sometimes. This is all very routine. I give Betonline props for releasing first. They have exposure and obviously the are top-rate book and know their business

              So who's ghost are you?

              You know a lot about BetOnline for a newbie.

              You avg 32 posts a day. That's crazy.

              SBR paid poster?

              Majority of the stuff you say isn't that intuitive. The BetOnline thing was the closest so far.

              Wish I had time to post 32 times a day. Jesus.

                  No ghost... I may be new to sbr but I have been wagering for 30+ years.

                  But please keep spawning the conspiracy theories... very entertaining

                      It seems logical to me that Houston should simply pull away from Boston... which makes that the wrong play obviously lol

                          The Rockets winning 14 in a row and having a huge payback motivation here doesn't give you pause for concern?

                                            Oddsmakers totally pissed me off. Been waiting for this game since Wednesday. I'm amped up to place a large wager on Boston. Probably around 3k. Figured the opening line might be Houston -4.5 (maybe -5) and all the money on Houston would push it to -5.5

                                            Totally freaked me out when Bookmaker opened at -7.5 and then Pinnacle opened at -8.5

                                            Like a deer in headlights. Totally ruined my fukking weekend. Bastards.

                                            I'll get em back.
