Going to take the Bucks and hold my nose. I do not know where people get their information that 70% are on the Bulls or 40% on the Clippers. I get my data at pregame.com (if you know a better site please advise) Jan 22 one of the most popular bets were the Clippers -4.5 over Charlotte--wow the Clippers only giving 4.5 too easy--exactly Hornets won 95-91. Jan 25 Rockets giving 1 to the Grizzlies--Memphis stinks right The Rockets can cover 1 on the road nope. Jan 20 Miami giving 5 at Atlanta--surely the Heat can cover 5. 75% of the people putting money on the Heat thought so Atlanta won. I like to go against popular road favorites right now as of 5pm CST I see two bets over 70% Phoenix giving 5 to the 76ers and The Clippers giving 10 to the Bucks. I am going with the 76ers and the Bucks. I do not buy that Vegas wants equal action on the side. They are trying to maximize profit. They maximize profit when they put up something that looks easy: Like the Atlanta Falcons will beat the Jets on Monday night football right? I took the Falcons and this public angle really opened my eyes. When the public backs a dog--run the other way. Surely the Patriots will be a great bet against the Broncos--cmon we are getting points. How did that work out? Just food for thought and having been burned many a times on things that look easy I have changed my path. And doing much better. Try going against the obvious. Most the the time you get points. When you take an Underdog 2 of the three outcomes can go in you favor:
The dog loses and you do not cover--bad
The dog wins straight up--good
The dog loses but covers good.
2 of 3 outcomes in your favor.
Pretty good discussion here and appreciate all input without the hate. BOL.
