how do they constantly know the number

[DOMINATER]

I am sure this has been thought of many times on s. b. r..No matter how many teams are playing and how many sports crossover during the year ,how the hell do these keep the numbers so close.Just for an example tonight Providence played Syracuse the line was 13-1/2, the game finished with a 14 point spread. Its amazing day after day week after week they always are there. I understand there is one guy doing all this, Wynn the hotel owner has him on his books , I don't know if its true or not?next week Iam going to predict the lines and winners of the first round of playoffsIwill give my point s to any challengers.

[thetrinity]

they r pretty close on the orange bowl. nailed the total as well.

[InTheDrink]

I bet if you went thru every score for all sports tonight that 20% might be good numbers

You know what you need to do...pick different games

[UNCGQ]

aliens

crop circles

That's all I'm gonna say. The rest should be obvious.

[ProfaneReality]

come on pal.. you are looking at one game.. for every 1 game u can find that landed within a point of the spread/total ill find you 5 that didnt come within 10

[Br0nxer]

the strangest lines are the college bb lines that are -33 and team wins by 34

if someone can win by 34 they can pretty much name the score

[muldoon]

Lol. Pretty much what I thought too.

Biggest volume bet on the board - in theory supposed to have the tightest line right?

[Ernie Mccracken]

They win because they understand math and statistics at a very advanced level. Most SBR droolers flunked stats 101 because they were too busy playing snake on their Nokia phone.

[The Kraken]

Pretty simple

PF-PA+Home field advantage ='s spread.

[ApricotSinner32]

Everything is legit boys. You are always getting a fair shake when gambling. Business as usual.

Yeah it happened in the clippers houston game tonght on the over under. I bet the over 206.5. I went to dinner with my wife I saw the score at halftime was already at 122. I didn't check again until I got in the car and looked on my phone. There is 45 seconds left and I needed two points to go over. Of course the clippers shoot free throws they make 1 missed 1 and went under by a half point. 122 points first half and 84 second half. Ouch heart breaker. When they get so close to the total of an nba game I'm always so amazed.

[Djstucky]

Clippers game should have went way over...feel lucky you didn't watch it of you would have been throwing shit...rockets only score 34 in 2nd half...what a joke...this is bs man...better luck next time...fukkn NBA...

[BetterBizness]

I was one of the victims of the robbery in Auburn Hills...

10 point cushion with a minute left in a blowout... somehow, someway layup after layup... clear path foul, then another hookshot... was only like 2k or something... guess it could have been the only loser in a 10 game parlay for 50...

With that said, I was buried the other night if not for the missed layup in the OKC Dal game late ... basically.. I want to win them all, when I win.. it's biz as usual.. when I lose... it's a fking rig....

[thetrinity]

if they were "so good" teasers would be +ev plays IMO. they whiff enough that straight bets are the only way to win.

apparently its 5-12 guys with a big-main guy's branch that sends his numbers down- Then they add and adjust for public sentiment later down the line then send it out to the books.

this is according to the show "the linesmakers" on velocity (discovery) not sure if you can find the show online.

[Glitch]

the show is "linesmakers" the website is "thelinesmakers.com"

Dommer I don't know, but they have it pegged

Look at Tampa/Philly last night, crazy

[BeatTheJerk]

The majority of the posters in here have come & gone. Does that mean their life got better without gambling ? Where are they now without that constant thought/grind to win over the bookie & his odds.

It is true. Sometimes, it's spooky.

Put it this way. It's their JOB to know.

Posted lines are never THAT far off. They can be off a little. Major-market lines are mostly very sharp, b/c the oddsmaker is motivated to POST a sharp #.

[ARCHIVADO98]

Alabama 38
Texas A&M 41

Was line around -3 for texas a&m?

[pavyracer]

It's based on the number of possesions each team gets and how many points they score on each possession.

I’m pretty sure he was being sarcastic & mocking the thread.

My apologies.. It does seem sarcastic.. Carry on

All good.

Gambling crystal ball. I'm trying to get my hands on one.

[pavyracer]

I can list 25 football games from last week that the final score didn't come anywhere close to the number.

[homie1975]

college hoops and nba hoops are the easiest lines to set because they have the most possessions of any team sport and it's alternating possession and the point totals per basket are 1, 2, or 3

football is the toughest one to set because turnovers and special teams freak plays can skew a score wildly, hence the 6 pt teasers get blasted out of the water with regularity.

HOOPS the easiest lines to set and the scores come closest to the line more often than other sports because of what i said above in the first line

[Smoke]

the strangest lines are the college bb lines that are -33 and team wins by 34

if someone can win by 34 they can pretty much name the score

I know bronzer. it's bs

[jjgold]

It is unbelievable I would think it’s just a computer based algorithm for the most part and then some man made formulas

[Doublethink]

They're the book from Vegas. They know everything you don't know. That is their job. If you think you are going to beat them quit right now. They play on your sentiment and Doublethink. I keep saying that is why I quit gambling. You're trying to beat Big Brother from George Orwell's 1984 and you ain't gonna do it.

[Booya711]

It’s no wonder there are nothing but losers here at SBR…they don’t understand the simplest of points in gambling….pathetic
