    I'm a Mavs fan, so maybe a little biased, but going by the matchups against the Jazz the last 2/3 years, you usually see a big gulf in the teams, Carlisle owns that team. The Mavs even beat the Jazz last year playing without Ellis and Tyson Chandler. The Mavs usually are able to contain Utah's putrid offense and find ways to score on offense. The Jazz don't really know how to finish games either.

    The Mavs are coming off their best game of the season.Multiple players had great games. They clearly showed more emotion and effort than normal, after that humiliation against the Spurs the night before.

    I usually don't bet on the Mavs because they are old, slow and unathletic. They often get off to slow starts and are chasing all game. You rarely have a safe game with them. With that said, I do think that this line is appealing because, assuming they play with the same kind of aggressiveness they did in Memphis, they will win with some comfort. It's a huge game with playoff implications.

    Still, because the Mavs have been far less than reliable, it's a no bet for me right now. I will bet live.

    Yeah, books I'm looking at are a point lower but with juice on the Over. 207.5 at HT.
    I'm still buying the Under. Might follow it off the cliff

    Bookmakers Total Over Under Payout
    Marathonbet +207 1.89 1.87 -
    Pinnacle Sports +207 1.88 2.04 97.8%
    Average 1.88 2.04 97.8%
    Highest 1.88 2.04 97.8%

    I just don't understand the confidence in something like this.

    He didn't say:
    "I will attempt to bet the over if it's in the 170s"

    So not only was he absolutely sure about the live total being 170s, but also he certainly was going to bet 2k on it

    Every single NBA game has runs where it goes over and under the original total. Just have to be sharp and willing to sit through all 3 quarters timeout to timeout ready to pounce.

    I cleaned up last night on this. And will do it again tonight.

    Grizzles are -3.5 at Brooklyn. They'll win and cover outright. But to be more confident I will wait and get their money line at even or plus money in the 1st qtr after Brooklyn takes a small lead and Memphis calls a timeout.

    Nope..... Jazz/Mavs total was 187 before game started and was wire to wire over, over, over, over... So I'd like to see evidence of when you pounced and "cleaned up"

    LOL. Why are you getting so worked up. I just showed you. The live total was posted 183.5 at the end of the 1st when the two combined teams had 3 total points in over 3 minutes.

    Don't be upset about someone else making money, There are plenty of opportunities tonight. We are all here for the same reason. Some of us are just very good at this


    I bet you also wouldn't believe the Wizards were +100 money line late in the third either last night at New York after blowing almost a double digit lead all night. And being -11.5 live in the 2nd QTR.

    Once again, time & patience. Be smart. Not bitter.

    There were 5 pts scored in the last 3:16 of the 1st quarter. I would like to know who had a total of 183.5 when 50 pts were scored in the 1st quarter..... or who would have a total of 183.5 when 45 pts were scored in the 1st 9 minutes of play
