    How did books know about the Celtics collapse?

    Anyone who thinks the books don't know NBA results beforehand is out to lunch.

    Raptors were like 3.5 to 1 or some shit going into the 4th bro

    Lowry is a proven flopper him and Derozan whine and complain more than anyone in the NBA, they always play good in the 4th quarter at home for that reason alone

    Boston sucks.

    Btw I love how suddenly Toronto covers any close line with a huge late rally. Last few years they would fumble around the last few minutes of the game and not cover. Now they turn close games into 8-10 point wins.

    Fukking sick of it. They've been doing it all year. This team killed me the last two years in the playoffs because they couldn't close out a game. Now they're killing me by doing the opposite.

    The books obviously aren't dumb, but you really think they had anything to do with the Celtics collapsing?

    What if the Celtics had held on? Would that have meant the books are dumb?

    It's one game. Means nothing. Toronto seems to be a strong fourth-quarter team, bet then when they're down.

    This game was so similar to when Toronto surged at the end and covered against Utah. But Goat is right, Toronto is very good at home in the 4th. Unless it's the playoffs of course, then they just choke all game haha.

    Giant I asked how the books knew?

    I never implied the books interfered with the result.

    The Celts weren't going to hold on. That's why the line went up.

    My question is why it went up?

    Laker, just another night in the nba. There is no league more blatantly obvious from half to half. One team just kills it and works their offense without any problems, they go to the half and then come out like someone just told them they need to flop. It happens every night in half the games and everyone just pretends nothing is going on.

    I don't know, I didn't follow any movement today.

    Someone injured? Late money?

    Who knows why the line moved, but if you've been following the movement this year, it doesn't mean anything.

    Moved PARTLY because Avery Bradley was announced out. At least I think it might have had something to do with that. Still, your point here stands.

    So first you say why it went up, then you ask why it went up.

    It's this type of shit that makes me not want to help some of the posters in this thread.

    Are you wondering why the line went from -4.5 to -5.5?

    Is that your question? I can tell you with hard numbers why.

    I'm a nice guy, I hate the forum controversy and e battles. I always try to teach something. I hate past posting forecasts and numbers, but I will to teach.

    That said, there are some bettors I feel like not wasting time with, mostly because I don't believe they have the ability or desire to learn something. The biggest reason is ego, then possibly capacity. Either way, they need the help, whether they know it or not.

    Three of those posters are in this thread.

    So Laker, if you are serious, and your question is why the line moved from where it opened to where it closed, then declare that.

    Otherwise, you and the other subjective bettors who get cocky when they win, thinking they understood why when the posts imply they don't, can go back to your normal SBR posting and I will continue to avoid the garbage.

    If you are serious, then explain where you think the line should have opened, and where you think it should have moved. Clearly, it didn't go as you expected. Do you know why, or not?

    If you don't ask yourself these questions, if you don't know if you made a mistake, then how can you ever learn from one?

    So do you have a question about tonight's line or not?

    Exactly. Thank you for not making me have to do that.

    But you make my other points in that I didn't think you really wanted to learn anyway. If so, you'd know it is never too late to learn. I will admit, it's tough for the subjective bettors who, for the most part, are unable to follow the market.

    I suppose you didn't really have an expectation of where the line should have opened, and where it should have moved. I will tell you this, right or wrong, it's best to have some sort of expectation, it's a start.

    I'll be posting more NBA forecasts soon, maybe I'll chime with those opinions in some of your threads, before game time, after all. Maybe we'll get some discussion going.

    Take care LB.

    Lebron hasn't won in Utah in years...big money Mormon donors don't want any self-proclaimed king coming in and beating their team. 2-9 run for big boy. Of course he shows out to save face, but the NBA doesn't let him win in Utah. One of those things nobody talks about.

    Same thing happened with Sac and Detroit tonight. Maybe Detroit and Boston are in positions in their schedule when they are known to not be able to finish strong.

    Raptors are a great comeback team - have been for years - and that's all there is to it.
