What am I missing here?

What you're missing is what the total reads.

Take the under

**funnyb25** · 03-07-24, 04:16 PM

You can ask Lakerboy to clarify if need be..

You bet lines not stats...

Looks low, but that could be a set up!

Model shows 227 as a proper line. Total is 220/220.5 =53.1% chance of going over. 53% + -110(91%) =101.4

I think the books are going with the under trend that's been happening since All-Star break. Plus, both teams for o/u have unders winning.
Boston - 29-32
Denver - 24-37-1

And then the last five it's 1-4 and 1-3, respectively.

The totals make no sense. Any team can go over it or under by adjusting the tempo very little. Very hard to win betting NBA totals.

Why is it that nba total r much higher than ncaa

buy in football it’s the opposite???

I'm guessing is because they play 8 more minutes in the NBA.

Good point

I do think nfl will b stupid high scoring in the future tho

**Headsterx** · 03-07-24, 09:59 PM

I'm taking the under because Pacific-itis is running rampant in the NBA right now.

**Headsterx** · 03-07-24, 10:13 PM

Ugh! With this tempo the total is going to get destroyed!

NBA wants low scores after being embarrassed in the AS game. TV games are going underrrrrrrr

**asiagambler** · 03-07-24, 10:38 PM

I've found Denver totals very tough to bet. Very frequently end up right around the number

**lakerboy** · 03-08-24, 12:50 AM

NBA totals are a complete waste of time unless you are a pro.

NBA is only spots on sides. I used to bet and win in this dumb league ALOT but I got out. I will get into the playoffs though because you know why?

SPOT

Boston at Denver.
I was kind of shocked when I saw the total at 220.5.

I understand J-Brown is dinged up, but all the other starters are healthy on both sides.
I'm not overthinking this but seems to me there'll be close to 230 points scored.
I mean there's just too much offense in this game.

No?

Good call

**BuckyOne** · 03-08-24, 09:41 AM

Nice find - what did the game go off at? 223 1/2?

Steam backed up your theory?
