Jesus fukin christ, just checked the highlights, scored 4points in 5minutes and Rudy missed 2 freethrows at the end to make it a 3pt game, like seriously? That&#x27;s amazing

&#xA;Statistically speaking, that&#x27;s a very bad bet.&#xA;Winning teams that are favored by -1.5 or less win by an average of (&#x2B;9.45) and cover spread 96.5% of the time.&#xA;Yesterday with Spurs was one of those instances that team win and did not cover spread (3.5% chance)

VGPOP · Answer

&#xA;And to provide the exact situation, winning teams that are favored by exactly -1.5 are 508-37 ATS. Spurs were the 37th loss. (6.8% chance).&#xA;So, what happened yesterday doesn&#x27;t happen often.

HaroldG · Answer

Yeah thats what im saying its a very slim chance of such an outcome, very unfortunate

fishmac · Answer

&#xA;Actually if its happening 6,8% of the time this means it happens more often than 1 time out of 20 , considering you could have taken spurs ML on 1.9 odds on numerous books yesterday for whole day in the long run you are better of taking this moneyline bet at 1.9 odds than taking -1 or -1.5 handicap for odds of 1.95 or 2 and lose it 6.8% . It has to be below 5% to be worth it to take that -1

Denver shot 17 threes for the game. 9 of those threes were in the 4th. They just lit it up ... three after three after three. I was following the play by play.. and that is how the comeback occurred. Then I could not believe the missed free throws at the end.. I thought that was going to fry us all, but luckily Denver messed up the last shot.

I had the Spurs -0.5. The funny thing was that I tried to place the bet on Spurs -1.5, and a message came up stating the line had moved to -0.5 so I took that instead. The difference 10 seconds makes... 10 seconds earlier and I would have been on the -1.5...
