I feel you... I'm most likely getting Indiana at -3 or -5 or waiting for 1st half line to come out.  I also see why Boston has an incentive to lose this game so they will play Atl rather than Cleveland ..

But I prefer the Indiana game

I did get buttt fukked by the timing of Mr. Wall's comments though. Damn jig was probably talking just as I was buying at the highest price of the day, -9.5  FUkk me.
I have this rule however, if it fukks me, then I'll girl.
Washington could win outright or lose by 3, or Indiana could win by 20. If Indiana wins by 5,6 or 7, that's when I'll go crazy not before.
Let it matter first.

Even though there's only three games on tap in the Association Tuesday evening, online shop TopBet.eu is receiving no shortage of action.

In Toronto's clash with Boston, Top Bet has rapidly moved the Raps' chances in their favor. After opening Boston -4, that line has been adjusted a full five points to Celtics +1 as of 2:30 p.m. EST. Sixty percent of spread bettors are currently backing the Dinos.

"This line movement has very little to do with the action we're receiving," said Brad Kennedy, a Top Bet oddsmaker. "The Celtics have clinched a playoff spot and have incentives to lose in order to avoid the Cavaliers in the first round, while Toronto is fighting for third in the East and controls their own destiny."

Total-wise, 68 percent of the public is banking on the contest going under the 208 number.

For Washington-Indiana, 78 percent of moneyline wagers are being placed on the Pacers.

"Despite the heavy action on the moneyline, our bettors don't feel Indy will be able to cover the -7.5 spread, as we're seeing 63 percent of spread activity on the Wiz," Kennedy told Covers.

The Over is getting 68 percent of support, causing Top Bet to bump up its opening 191.5 total to 192 as of this writing.

Damn, Boston won and Wiz are up by 3, so you will lose both bets and go broke. Vegas preys on people like you who bet everything they have on two games. You gonna put in more money?

Well, I am on Indiana -7.5 and it does not look good in overtime at the moment. Looks like double overtime or bust.

Further, buying two points on a line and laying -145 in the process is never easy money.....seems foolish no matter the sport, the teams or the day of the week.

I bet that this morning in that one hour window when they were -9.5
if it makes any of you feel better, I'm mailing uncle sam around 150K tomorrow, so losing the $2400 I put in on Saturday is hardly going to bust me. The Transportation business is very, very good, and that's all I'll say on this public forum. Warren Buffet bought controlling interest in the BNSF Railroad for a reason. Can't win em all, dumb bets, hindsight being 20/20

Wow. I wish I paid that much in taxes. People complain about paying taxes but paying taxes mean you're making money.

Just my two cents. NEVER buy points. EVER. It's a bad bet ALWAYS. Why do you think the books encourage it? It's like the dealers working in the pits at the craps table....."get your hard ways, horns and yo bets in". Why do they shout that? Point made.

Probably right. I used to stand on 15 and 16 and Black Jack too, until I read a book or two that absolutely insists that you must hit. It's not a theory but a fact that you will win more over the long haul. I'm assuming I can google the same for buying points in professional sports too, may have to do some googling.

Hitting the 16 in blackjack is the correct move. Buying points on a sports bet is giving money away.

Assume you buy a line from 4.5 to 4. Your juice goes from -110 to -120.

Thus, your game needs to land on the 4 in EXCESS of 10% of the time. When you buy 2 points as you did today, you need to land in the sweet spot (between a 7-9 point Indiana win) 50% of the time to make money. You really don't need to google that do you?
