What the heck happened to the total on the Toronto hoop game?

Iceman · Nov 1, 2006

Seen a line move yesterday and jumped a board at over 199.5. It's now 206.5 or so. It's moved around 10 points since it's opener.

Must have been an injury (guy now playing who wasn't suppose to)? Anyone know? Just curious.

Chris Bosh is not 100%. He'll play but he's going to be limited to the amount of time he can contribute on the court. He's probably going to be dealing with plantar fascitis for the whole season.

This is the only major injury concern I know for this game.

Hopefully you took the over :103631605

Yes, I bet the over. Seen it moving (it may have actually been Monday nite or yesterday) and was hoping to play some back as I have noticed that opening game numbers are not usually that great and boy did this move. Will play back half.

God, I love the NBA and these middle opps, now I have to just hit one.

So bet the over for $100 (for example) at - 110 at 199.5, in the hopes the line continues to go up (hopefully 3 or 4 points).

You then bet the under at 206.5 for $50 at - 110.

The game lands between 199.5 and 206.5 you win both.

This is the goal here correct ?

Correct. But that is a HUGE middle, most are not that good and if it goes over 199.5 I still show a decent profit.

You are risking $165 to win a minimum of $45 as long as it goes over.
If you hit the middle you win $150 and if it stays under, without middling, you lose $60 ?

joeyfitzclick · Nov 1, 2006

So you risk $60 essentially to win $45 or $150 ?

right if you were betting if those were the actual amounts that is correct. I should (and will, I think) be able to find a reduced juice under bet saving me a few more bucks. :103631605

OK thanks.

NBA totals seem to jump around alot the first week or 2 of the season. I noticed it a couple of years back. Not unusual to see line moves of 6-7 points
