Hornets @ Magic line movement

TheFunkMonkey · Dec 2, 2003

Olympic now has NO -3 and 185 o/u. Why is the line moving...especially the o/u? Wasn't it 180 last night?

I have no idea why there's such a big line movement. I bet over 90.0 in the first half this morning and have bet under 92.0, 92.5 and 93.5 for part of my bet in hopes of a first half middle.

Orlando has decided to change their philosophy to a run and gun offense, and has brought in Paul Westhead (he of the 150 point Denver Nuggets and 130 point LMU Lions) in to help out. We'll see what happens tonight. If they do what they say they're gonna do, this might turn out to be the bet of the year, as Orlando game lines will start to be a lot higher, we'll see tonight.

Found out that the Magic are going to try Asst Coach Paul Westhead's (yep, from Loyola Marymound) offensive system. They've been practicing for a few days, they plan to run and gun. Hmmmmmmm.

That should be Loyola MARYMOUNT, not Marymound. Typo!

If there's a real change in the offensive philosophy, we may want to look at the O/U for these same 2 teams who play again tomorrow in New Orleans. Right now, the overnight O/U for that game is 182.5 vs 185.5 for today's game.....

Pinnacle has the O/U for tomorrow's game at 182.5(-130 or so) and first half at 91.5(over -116). I just bet some $ on the over in the first half. I expect the line to be closer to today's closing line of 186 or even higher.

Looks like another over night for the Hornets/Magic in the first half. The Magic are playing at a much higher pace under their new coach. May have to look at betting the over in the second half again tonight if the game is close at halftime and the O/U not too high for the second half.

2 easy bets in the NBA, last night and tonight Overs. Wish the NBA was always this way where good info actually helps ALOT. That change in philosophy made the Overs easy. 3rd Quarter in tonights game made it fun, huh.
