    Only if the markets are fairly efficient. When the books intentionally give the bettors a spread that is off, in order to take a position, the probablility changes drastically.

    While covering the spread is a yes or no proposition, and it's supposed to make the game a 50-50 proposition, it simply isn't always true.

    This is a contentious point, but usually for those who are unable to create a forecast that is ahead of the market.

    My analysis indicates that the spread itself is pretty sharp from 3.5 to 4.5 and I wouldn't be surprised if this game pushes the 4 or 5 point.

    My metrics indicate and it is my opinion that late Chicago backers getting -3.5 are in a far better spot this game than an ordinary -4 or -5 backer getting -3.5 in an "ordinary" NBA situtation.

    Good Luck.

    I think the Knicks can win outright

    Always scary going against home teams in NBA regardless of record

    Gibson/Mirotic fill in nicely for Pau.

    Obviously would rather be backing a better road team but I still like the spot.

    Would've waited if I knew I'd lose a point but you win some you lose some there

    But what's the lesson? Fade yourself, or stay the penetrate away from betting all together?

    These metrics of yours came to the conclusion that it's better to hit more advantageous numbers? I'm impressed.

    Read it again Giant. I said much more than that. There is a big picture that helps us decide the value of points. This is what you are referring to.

    Well, that big picture is made up of many smaller pictures and I'm saying that in the short term the half to one and a half point presented is worth more than it will be when measured over the long term.

    I know you think you understand what you thought I wrote but I'm not sure you realize that you didn't understand what I meant.

    KVB you never cease to amuse me with that twaddle.

    To suggest bookies pick sides in a game... As if it were easy. At what level exactly? Some bookie clerk at front office at Will-Hill or Bet365 making the pick, or some consultant in Vegas whispering advice to various bookies across the globe? Setting the lines is easy - I can do it my sleep! - and so that's what they stick with. They don't lose money doing this. Picking winners is phackin difficult, so they steer well clear of it.
