Why are sixers favored in game 5? -1.5?

[lakerboy]

Are they going to win in that spot? Traditionally that's a blowout situation for team up 3-1. Why can't books make Boston favored? Is it some book law?

[cincinnatikid513]

Just take the bait and bet the celtics

[dlunc3]

Bc the sixers are the better team and should be up 3-1. But will they choke away another one?

[jtoler]

Maybe trying to give Philly series bettors some hope still, they paid a heavy price to start the series might wanna keep those people away from taking some back on Celts.

Idk is Mconnell going to drop 19 again? Sixers cant shoot that poorly again and win

Sixers win by 7

Boston might be my biggest bet of the playoffs, in game five.

It'll give Stevens a couple of days to make the adjustments on that little pipsqueak McConnell.

Simmons isn't ready for the spotlight just yet.

You better get on it because the line will drop.

It's already dropped in comparison to games one and two.

You gonna double down on game 6?

Don't get cute.

What do you think the line should be? Books are stubborn and can only adjust so much. Why didn't they just make Cavs -7 tonight? Because they just don't. They aren't going to adjust a game more than a few points without injury. Yeah people will bet Boston, but a lot of Philly backers will lay juice on the ml. I'll likely take Boston.

Could not agree more! Love the line, still getting points in Beantown. Sixers were -4.5 G1 and -3.5 in G2. Philly still getting respect from books but from what I've seen, the series ends Wednesday.

Laker, good thread starter. This is the art of book-making.

Where do u set the appropriate line for this game? Very hard to say. No one REALLY knows.

[jjgold]

Experts think they are the better team that is why

Nobody smarter than the line

[robbypark]

This is hilarious. Pretty much everybody should bet Celtics ML. They will win game 5 guaranteed.

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Whole board betting Boston.

This will end well.

I seriously think u give the "books" too much credit in their perceived angles. They get a lot of lines wrong...

I'm not giving them credit here. I think they have it wrong

[robbypark]

Honestly, I don't even think game 5 will be close. I see a DD victory for Boston.

Past posting robbie stacks?

Is that u?

Philly was favored by 4.5-5 in game one and by 4 in game 2....so favored by 1.5 in game 5 seems pretty accurate as the players didn’t change just the series W/L
