Dallas -3 a gift?

Question

Seems like a no-brainer right? Conn playing terrible. Dallas absolutely rolling, especially at home. Very very fishy line.

3 games in 4 days and and afternoon game after playing 2 days ago makes it tough. Although it is wings last game before the break so maybe that helps them out

I always browse this site for quotes like "gift" and "no brainer"...it could be a womens senior bochee ball game, i will almost always look to go the other way....i wish you luck buddy, but whenever you find yourself saying these key phrases, it rarely ends up well

No such thing as a gift when your betting. I hate the phrase used because I was honestly going to be on the same side albeit only for the 1st half.

You clearly didn&#x2019;t understand my post. I was pointing out the fact that it does seem very fishy. Sometimes a gift, sometimes a trap. I&#x2019;m leaning towards trap in this spot with a (should be) very motivated Conn team vs a team that has played really well and is playing 3rd game in 4 days and 4th game in 6 days and maybe just wanting to go to All Star Break....

&#xA;I&#x27;m just taking the first half over because I wasn&#x27;t impressed with the Wings defense in their last game versus the Sky and Connecticut can score. BOL with what you choose. Based on their defense I can&#x27;t back the Wings in this position.

Yeah I think this is the exact type of game that Conn would look to get on track. They can expose bad defenses and Dallas should be tired.

Trap. Easy money.

Theres no such thing as a trap line or no brainer lines or gift lines...that was my point which maybe you didnt understand...ive seen title threads and comments like yours with "gift" and "no brainer" for over a decade...seems like 80% of the time the other side comes in wire to wire...just as this one did....thats all im saying.

Its actually a great tool to use when self capping...if something literally jumps off the page and you think "hey i found a gift here"...then thats something you should really cap hard for the other side...just saying... peace_5

I do think there is such a thing as trap lines. Books set a line knowing very well what they&#x2019;re doing and how it will attract a massive number of bets on the other side. Line usually doesn&#x2019;t budge or maybe only a little. The days of robotic books only looking to get 50% of bets on each side is over. They&#x2019;ve gotten greedy in recent years and are trapping joe public a lot more often.....

And this game was a trap. Dallas only -3 at home against a struggling team? Dallas is the best in the NBA at covering lines. Conn has looked absolutely terrible. Trap was set. I&#x2019;m skeptical with betting percentages, but every site had 70-80% of bets on Dallas and line barely moved. Nice payday for the books on that one. Cashed Conn and Conn ML nicely.
