If you like the Heat tonight...

Question

...and you have access to live betting, could you give me a reason NOT to wait and grab a lower line?

Obviously the only issue could be if the Heat come out dominating and build a lead and never let up, but this has not happened with any team that I have bet on in the playoffs.

I like the Heat, I do think they cover the number, BUT, sometimes they come out rusty and I ma thinking you buy in at 8-10 at some point.

What do you guys think?

Always a smart play. If they get off to a great start and you can't get a better line, then no worries, there will def be another opportunity.

Almost all home faves, the live lines came crashing down to either a straight up PK or even +points - never hurts to wait.

True but to me Bulls are very hurting.  MVP will show why he is MVP to me.  He will be the next Lord of the Rings!

May get the best game line at half for the Heat, it&#x27;s been fairly consistent in the last couple months.

If that&#x27;s what you think then take the Bulls before the game and come back 2x with Heat live.

HelloMoto · Answer

Da bulls will be in the game I believe you can grab the Heat at the half especially if there up like 7 or 8... 2nd half line will match

Guys the Bulls are spent from that 7 game series w/Brooklyn this game could be over at 1/2.

You have a point, but if you wait for live betting the line comes with high juice. It's almost like buying points unless bulls manage a lead somewhere during the game.

What do you think about heat first half and maybe live betting somewhere during second half? Thanks

I&#39;m waiting to see how this game plays out. Playing live tonight. I like Heat at less than -7. But not 12. And, I don&#39;t trust chitown. So, I&#39;m going to wait for this line to drop after the 1q.

Take the -12..the heat will win by 20&#x2B; plus.

I agree DickyR. Same scenerio last year. Boston was spent as you put it against philly in 7 games.  Boston knew they were not gonna win game 1 in miami but I&#x27;ll be godamned Boston covered Game 2 and almost won SU.  Bulls should have a let down game in miami the way boston did last year in both Game 1&#x27;s.  Game 2 maybe a different story from chicago.

live bet or no play - wait till it get to 150-250.

numbersbuster · Answer

I agree, when I factor in the fact that the Heat are coming off a long layoff, the Bulls just played one of their best offensive games in a long time, the Heat have failed to bludgeon opponents in the first half all year long, only to open a can of whup-behind the second half.

I'm playing this Bulls +7 first half, and then will roll that over on Miami minus whatever in the second half if it hits. That seems to be the way to play this one to me. Second half could get ugly for the Bulls once the Heat get back into kill mode, but I'll wait and hope for a better 2H number as always with the Heat.

rctvygiko · Answer

rctvygiko · Answer

KongKovac · Answer

strong strategy if you bet online

Dead_Presidents · Answer

I took the Bulls ML @&#x2B;850 and&#x2B;13 hoping to get the Heat in-game at a good price.  I&#x27;m still waiting on a good price.  The best I have seen is Heat -700, -9.   Hopefully the Bulls can get out to a lead in the second half.
