90% of the "public" didn't get it either when Indy was only 2.5 pt favorites at winless and hopeless Detroit the other night. And 90% of the "public" didn't get it on the Philly line in Utah for Utah's first win earlier in the week.
That SCREAMED Bomb Detroit, that also SCREAMED Bomb Utah....and this screams Bomb Dallas.
The line says everything you need to know.

I'm off that play.
Look at Minnesota for a chance to bet against the public.

You've got it exactly backwards. Flipping homecourt should change -5 at home to +2 on the road. But OKC is -2.5, not +2. |

#9 Posted: 1/2/2012 3:45:06 PM The reasons why there's not much of a change are (1) Dallas was desperate for its first win the last time these two teams played, (2) OKC could be expected to take Dallas lightly in the last game because OKC had already beaten Dallas twice in preseason and Dallas had been completely non-competitive in its first two games, and (3) after going down to the wire with Dallas last time, OKC may be a little better focused this time. |

Excuse me. I correct myself. 26 TIMES

So you are saying because an odds maker thinks Dallas is more likely to win, he is making Dallas more of an underdog? So they lose more money on Dallas, when they win??? Makes perfect sense.

Yes, there is a big difference here. 76ers & Indiana were expected to be bigger favorites and bookies offered softer lines than expected so people bet them.
With Dallas it's actually reversed here, people are thinking Dallas is expected to be more of a favorite than they actually are, so basically bookies are bagging for money on Dallas if you like this sort of thinking.
For the line looks completely fine, there are already reasons mentioned why there is not more of a difference between home/away line.
Mostly of course because OKC had a horrible schedule when they played Dallas, was 2nd b2b in 5 nights, with shitload of travelling. Now it's kind of reverse.
