Tfresh, I love you bro, but sometimes I have no clue where you come up with your thinking. A five point fave is up 10 at half, what do YOU think the line should be? What do you think standard is for that situation?

Normally I would expect to see -3 or start at -2.5 moving to -3. NOT -1.
All -1 says is a blowout. Can you imagine all the +5 backers thinking fuck my +5 is dead now I get +9.
All OKC needs to do is out score them by 2 for me to cash......:0008
In 20 years, I don't think I've ever seen a 5 point dog on the road, lay 3 in the 2nd half. Ever!!
You think they let the fave backers get in that cheap? Ever?
The answer is no. 3 would be absolutely unheard of

T Fresh, realize you're a Heat fan and glad for you, but how can you not understand a 5 point dog being 1 point chalk at half? If I had to guess, you're probably 25 years old or younger based on some of your logic (not being a dick either, just stating what I have read and you have done well in the Conference Finals btw), but best of luck as like Jord said, the most a dog could be at half is a 2 point favorite IMHO in this situation... your Heat look like the logical choice to win it all and I am not trying to be a dick and don't want a shit talking thread (don't mind a well educated rebutable telling me I'm being a dick either, seriously, but make it worth my while to read). If the Heat somehow lose game 6, this will be fun Sunday as this game 7 will have huge ratings and I would love to see it.
Anyway, like Jord stated, some of us have been doing this for a number of years and some of us consistently make money over the long haul, but for everyone who does it long term, it's a grind and for me, a hobby I enjoy. However, I would guess none of us who make money have a favorite team who we consistently back (I know I don't!). Best of luck moving forward and to your Heat, but respect the people who have played for a couple decades as they're typically very sharp and guessing some of these peeps have been doing this for longer than you have been on this planet (not saying me, but I have been for a couple decades). Good Luck T-Fresh! Guessing your Heat win it all, but I wouldn't be surprised if Spurs knocked them off with home court, plus the best coach in the NBA. Pop is the man, but his team is older than sand on the beach.

Spurs are the only team that I fear vs Miami. Miami will beat OKC with ease.
As for my age I just turned 25. I have been sportsbetting for 10 years. I don't think you're being a dick. I also don't think you're right. It's all good everyone is entitled to their own opinions. All that matters is we all try to win and help each other. I don't claim to know it all. I learn new stuff daily. The older people who you claim have been doing this longer than I have been on the planet are what me and my friends call DINOSAURS. Old school. Well guess what its 2014 and things are done on computers with programs and algorithms based on data. Coming here is a hobby for me. Posting is sometimes fun when people work together and don't bash each other. As I recall at the end of the day OUR objective is to win and beat the book. I would be bored if I couldn't post here or the other 4 places I sometimes do. I am not a junkie bettor. Sometimes I play 1 or 2 max 3 plays in a day and other days I watch. I look for spots. I would rather hit one game for say $1k or $2k than play 4 for $300-500 each. I am very disciplined. I set goals for the week and if met on Tuesday I won't force another play unless something BIG comes up. Sometimes it great to be a fan...:0008
