    I've never seen anything like it. Ever. And the oddsmakers just keep doubling down.

    Books have been completely wrong on both Eastern conference series. Lol at those that say books know all. They are as clueless as most of people on here.

        I'm talking about the "pros" who set these insane lines.

        Do any of them ever actually watch a game?

            Yet it just keeps happening, over and over again.

            Like I said, never seen anything like it. Zero adjustments.

              You think? I agree they certainly don't know the outcome but you don't think they didn't know what they were doing making craptors such redic favs to win series? Seems to me they just helped perpetuate the silly narrative that crapfors were better than team bron and it seemed many bought that shit hook, line, and sinker. Had they made cavs favs the craptors backers might have been spooked, like they feel more confident laying terrible price!!!! Maybe I'm way off but think they were perfectly happy handing out the free cavs money to "squares" like me!!

                You are applying common sense to computer dorks and systems. Doesn't happen anymore. Not in 2018.

                  When the Sixers were up 4 early in OT, I saw Boston at +400 live.

                  I mean, come on.

                    Live numbers in general are ridiculous down the stretch of NBA games. Taking teams down late in games is money. I think Sixers were like +500 going into the last shot that sent it to OT.

                      Whatever the reasoning I think they have been taking plenty of craptors money judging by all the redic threads I've read around forum world.

                      On another note, good to see ya buddy! Hope all is well and you are able to stick around for some bases!!

                        They're probably depending too much on the computer models (which just predicts based on past results rather than actually watching a game and factoring non-quantitative factors) and less on the human eye and observation that can factor in the psychological factors.

                          I don't think that even factors into the equation anymore, which is really fvcking dumb, but whatever.

                            NHL PITTSBURGH +187 ML // 1 unit to win 1.87

                            END 1st period. Adding one unit for value. Penguins down 2-1 but start the second period on the Power Play.

                                  Couldn't believe the Sixers were favoured in both road games,they haven't earned that sort of respect.

                                        IDK if you're being sarcastic, but BetOnline has opened them at -6.5.

                                            3-2 Penguins after 8 minutes into the 2nd period

                                            Just pointing out I agree completely its all computerized, and common sense plays no role in setting lines

                                              so then before the 3rd period with Penguins up 3-2, it was +235 for Washington ML.

                                              The period starts and Washington ties it less than a minute in.

                                                    Do any of them ever actually watch a game?
                                                    Who knows what their true line would be.

                                                    Not their job to to be right. Just want equal money.
