    I never could figure those things out.

    Thanks.


    Those odds may make sense.

    I hope that they are right.

    I am not feeling a win on game 3 due to overconfidence on our part, their home crowd, their motivation after being embarassed.

    But this Spurs team is so much better than this Cavs team, that I could very easily be wrong.

    depends if Duncan can stay out of foul trouble, and if either Manu or Parker have a big game also


    Spurs don't need big performances from the big 3, but if Duncan and Manu/Parker show we get the win



    Spurs just need it to be close in the 4th

    Just so the misinformed know what odds actually are:

    Odds are not made to say the Spurs will win by 2 or lose by 2. Odds are made so that the house can get even money on both sides of the bet, thus creating profit no matter what happends. If the line right now is Spurs -2, and I put $5,000,000 down on the Spurs (which would probably be a good bet) the line would jump to something like Spurs -15 within seconds of me placing my giant bet. Now, does that mean that the Spurs just got 7.5x better than seconds ago? No. It just means that the house wants more people putting their money on the Cavs. So these lines, although most of the times are close, do not predict the outcome of the game like some people think they do.

    No no no!!!! It means you put ALL your money on the Spurs, smoke a few cigs, and anticipate your obscene payout.

    This is why you bet on the Spurs before the playoffs even started.

    betting wise... this is very tempting. logic suggests to put all your money, house, car, wife, gf, dog on the spurs. but im not feeling so good about the spurs n game 3. the cavs are against the wall.. they will do anything and everything not to let this one go 3-0 because its certainly over if it does.

    over/under is much safer.

    178.5

    both teams just need to score above 89 points. they even surpassed this on game 2

    last game it was 174.5 i bet a lot on over and im a happy happy man now. hehe

    Game 3 is definately a game the Spurs should loose.


    That said i think they are going into it with that same mentality, and will play lights out tonight.


    I expect them to be on fire tonight, and ready to put this series to bed. They dont want another Utah game 3, or an 05 pistons series.


    Spurs in 4.

    Odds makers take in so much when preparing initial odds. One of the things I'm sure they looked at is that Cleveland lost to the Pistons in games 1&2 and won game 3 at home. Now, the Spurs are not the Pistons, but it would be somethnig some people would bet on just for that, which relates to my previous post about this.

    I have looked though and on a handicapping website I use, 5/7 of them are picking Cleveland and the OVER for game 3.

    Definately a very safe bet. If the spurs are going to loose in this series, tonight will be the night. I put 400 v-dollars on em to cover though If it was real money, id probably be putting it on cleveland and the pts...im not sure what the over/under is though.

    178.5 which if the Cavs are going to win has to be the Over. I don't think they win a grind it out game with the Spurs becuase thier halfcourt offense and defense is much better. If the Cavs are to win, it will be with fast break and transition points like they did in the 4th quarter on Sunday

    I wouldn't touch the side tonite at all..

    SA has a history of Game 3 letdowns after going up 2-0 in a series. Since 1999 they are 2-8 SU and 1-9 ATS in Game 3 scenarios. And in the last 5 seasons they are 1-6 SU and 0-7 ATS in Game 3's.
