    I know the public wins sometimes, but I sure hate being on the same side as the vast majority.... 85%+ of bets are on Cavs tonight

    Lowry just said he isnt sure if he can go tonight... but hes like all other players, they make it sound far worse than it is, so they can look like this big hero

    he was on ground writhing in pain, pounding the floor, and back in the game 5 minutes later making spin moves, driving to the hoop.

    This game frightens the **** out of me. Common sense and watching the last two games tells everyone that the Cavs are going to blast Toronto right in the behind. Hammer time, right? I have seen zero indication that the Raps, with their current makeup, can compete on any level.

    AND I don't think about a great line like some people do. See a great line, hit a great line, win on a great line.

    But this feels different. This feels spooky. Cavs, imo, should be -185 or higher here.

    Ugh. This may be a pass for me.

    Exactly.. I try to make bets in playoffs based on what I see on the court and betting lines but this should be such a obvious win for cavs.. Can't see why they are such a small favor. Raps were horrible but I am not sure.. Home court should have nothing to do with this when they had zero chance in both games to even keep it close.

    At least the line is moving....up to -155 now. If they were holding it would scare me even more.

    Is it it possible that there are enough people in Toronto with money, wagering on the Raps? Biggie, is it you?

    Anyway, I grabbed a small piece, but even though I think it is a sure winner....going to protect myself a bit here. Would love to throw out a $5k bullet like Sweptweeed, but just can't do it.

    I can see Toronto getting out a moderate lead by halftime and the cavs coming back late in the 3rd to win out.

    Toronto 1q and 1h for me. Bol wikki

    I understand the feeling of when something seems too good to be true....but lets analyze what you are saying....

    #1 you are indicating that Vegas/Linesmakers have the practice of trying to lure 1 sided action... they dont

    #2 You are saying you cant bet it at -145, but if it was -185 youd feel better about betting them

    Gambling messes with our minds

    You should feel better now.. Cavs are -190/-200 currently, so now you should feel safe betting them

    First of all, like I said, I am not a conspiracy theorist nor usually worries about a books line....but, if you don't think that books pick a side (occasionally) you are completely and totally wrong. Books often choose to lean/push one side or the other....and this is the reason that good books make vig+.

    Also, I never said that I would feel better at -185. I only said that the line seems soft to me. I also followed up with a comment about the line beginning to slide, which imo is a positive indicator that the books are not taking a side.

    I am am happy to have booked my wager early....and I am shocked and confused why anyone betting Raptors would be it early, as it was obvious that the line would likely improve.

    Good luck all.

    I call BS on this Lowry sprained ankle crap. The books already knew the significance of the injury at the end of Game 2. Line opened at some places... Cleveland -1.5

    Public is pounding the news story...

    Change of venue will help the Raptors... and Cleveland is still a vanilla delicate squad on the Road.

    I already have a sh#$load of money tied up with Toronto +3 otherwise I'd be pounding the piss out of Toronto +5 at Heritage

    I'm leaning slightly Houston coming back home.. Spurs could become road warriors again and show up and give Houston all they can handle as well even without Parker.. Tough bet either way...

    With Toronto back home now it's still damn hard to bet against the Cavs and Lebron until they get beat, they have showed up on the road every time in these playoffs so far..... Toronto is damn tough at home though and will bring it tonight so that game is very sketchy to bet on I think.. Flip a coin almost but I'm slightly leaning the Cavs...

    Good luck tonight guys, I'm taking a pass on these games unless I'm home and get bored and need some small action on this Friday night..

    True, but it was a "resting" situation for both Kyrie and Lebronda.
