    [NBA] November 16, 2015 - Boston @ Houston --> Total 208.5

    I am not sure I understand this total line ... Boston has struggled to score over 200 points against many other teams recently:

    http://espn.go.com/nba/team/schedule...boston-celtics

    Also in the last 2 of its games this is what happened:


    • Against the Pacers the line was 202.5 and I did lose $1,500 on this one:
      http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...s-tonight.html
      This link contains screenshots showing how the line was 210.5 in the 4th quarter!
    • Yesterday against OKC (high scoring team) the line was 212 and the match ended with 185 points which is way below the line.


    The line against Houston opened around 210 and dropped to the 208 area already with a big push towards the 207 already.

    I'm trying to understand why this one gets such a high total?!
    Boston is not scoring lots of points, and all the previous "high" lines were proven to be an illusion - so is this going to be the same or this high total line going to be broken this time? I mean is it worth betting on it or just stay away?

    The fact some totals are rigged doesn't prevent you from being on the right side of the fix, I've never said "dont bet on the NBA because it's rigged" - I said you can bet on it but keep in mind it could screw you up with the totals - that's all .. I'm trying to see where the wind sails, over or under with this one.

    Yes, so they might be tired then --> hence UNDER is the play?
    Or lack of defense because of tiredness will lead to OVER?

    Boston is tired, Houston sucks balls. Here is your explanation for the line movement. Might be somebody injured too. But how will this info help you get on the right side of the "fix" ? I would've thought you needed to go directly to the source. Try to blackmail Harden or something.

    Rockets do not play defense.
