    Books not adjusting OKC line

    Once again books putting out Houston as a short favorite. Books get killed again or so they know something?

    We’ve seen books adjust big time on certain series like Utah and even now Philly in game 3. Yet books are giving you the same short Houston line after they took care of OKC easily both games.

    I was expecting -4, which would be in line with what we saw from some other series. I’m likely taking OKC.

    I'm OKC +2 in the Contrarian Fund.

    Raw forecast has OKC winning this game by 2 points and when adding the contrarian adjustments it's clear trigger for me in that Fund. That Fund has lost 3 consecutive plays in rotation order, the last two of them being Philly.

    The raw forecast is exactly 50-50 ATS over it's last 100 plays (when compared with just a .5 discrepancy against the market) and exactly 60-40, for a loss of -4 units against the moneyline.

    Good Luck OKC backers, if we lose it's gonna be ugly...lol.

    But you know that it's not random and that in fact each game, for gambling concerns, is not actually independant of one another.

    If it was random then patience and discipline wouldn't be virtues.

    They made a big adjustment after game 1. Went from +1.5 to -2. Okc will need to have a big lead going into the 4th to win. There’s no one on that team that can create their own shot. Paul is too slow, he’s a game manager now. Gallinari just shoots fadeaways. To be honest this team has overachieved all season with garbage

    But OKC has home court advantage now. Does Chris Small show up?

    Rockets -3.5 was hanging around for a while, so that was a full 5 point adjustment from the game one line of OKC -1.5

    It's back down to -2 but I haven't seen anything from the Thunder in the first two games to garner any support from me.

    Playoff #'s get all out of kilter due to the need to win factors. We have to take a bad number to get on the right side

    It's not for every single case, but there is definite truth in this ^^^.

    Pick winners and don't worry about the lines books set. Once the line setting gets into your head you stop picking winners.
