    Bovada ML has Heat -450 and Pacers +325

    That's something that's well known, I could probably pick out a couple games every day that they have a higher hold than everyone else. Nothing to see here is all i'm saying.

    So instead of taking Heat ML at -450 I took Heat -1.5 at -285 to get a better price. Unbeleiveable
