Always wanted to know how or what systems they use to come up with spreads. In the NBA especially they have just been so spot on.

Curious to see for example they adjust lines for injured players and on second half bets. They should do a documentry.

Unfortunately, I agree.  The players know what the line is, and I think they subconsciously try to make the final score close to the spread.

its really not that spot on... all the totals were way off today... coincidentally the spreads have been close just today... but they're usually not... underdogs get double digit points all the time and win straight up... teams get blown out all the time

Just look at the New Orleans and Indiana game. NO down by 11 with 20 seconds left. NO made a layup and the game was over. What was that meaningless layup for? It wasn't something to help them comeback and win the game. But, it covers the spread by 1. When there is money involved, a lot of shady things will occur.

Hell, every bloody sports is fixed. But, why do we still bet? For example, going to casinos. Your chances of winning are not that great. If so, they would go out of business. Some bet, or gamble, for the fun, the money, or the adrenaline rush.

It's not nearly as hard as you think it is, just takes experience.  I regularly set lines that land closer to the final result.

Bet with them. Not against them. Guarantee you'll be on the winning end by the end of the season.

Look up the 1985 draft and you'll get all the answers you need. David Stern is the most crooked Commissioner in all of sports.

I agree, sometimes they can be on , but I think the teams are all in on it, like the Heat... the suck when it comes to teams that they should just man handle, if anyone on the Heat put hella money on the Kings they would have came up tonight big. I would do it also if i were in the position to win on the both sides!!!  Welcome to america

Imo, if any team can win on any day, I think every game should be a pickem if its really like that.
