Is SACRAMENTO -5.5 a good line??

[Fishhead]

Yes or No in your opinion.

I am strictly speaking from a bookmakers point of view.......not necessarily your opinion on the game.

Sacramento 8 unders in last 9.

That has nothing to do with my question.

Have another Busch Light, have an Egg McMuffin, and come back with another answer.

Thanks Marinehead

Who cares anyway. Tampa & Montreal 1st, then Detroit & Calgary. We'll look in at NBA if we are bored.

 

[Moon88]

it's not a bad line considering that sac is at home....line is inflated a touch...i would pass seeing that there is not enough value.

Got a good point there.

I will be at SELMONS tonight in all liklihood watching the BOLTS on the giant screen.

Gotta believe the majority of the "little stuff" is going to be on SacTown laying the -5.5

Question to vague, what is the book's intent, balance or draw in some one sided action? Best Wishes...OF

 

[Fishhead]

Balanced

 

[OMNIVOROUS FROG]

Perfect line, Kings money there after last upset, fave backers rolling, these games pretty tight, Except for game #3 blowout. Always get the dog action, sharps still taking points. Numbers very consistent in this series. Biggest swing of numbers also with Mav/Sac homefields a bigger factor here. Seeing 12 point swings. Good balancing number. Much better than Spiro's Spurs - 3 1/2 opener. You just can't risk putting up a weak chalk line at this juncture. I would have made them bet the dog. Lakers or not.If you wanted a position, play with juice or hook. Could see 5 or 6 at post. Tough call. Best wishes Fish...OF

Excellent points OF

 

[JudgeWapner]

I think it is a solid line,and doubt if you will see much movement here.

 

[WildBill]

I don't know about the action, but this terribly undervalues the Kings. I think on a neutral court the Kings should be 3.5 to 4 point favorites, now throw in clearly the biggest home/road disparity around with Dallas going to a monster home court and I could justify laying 8 just on price alone.

 

[OMNIVOROUS FROG]

But that does not answer question, from books point of view. Neutral court, Beleive it or not, Kings 1 point dog. Pick at best. These are just power numbers where lines originate. Your numbers probably more accurate as far as teams but real number does not reflect that. Just balancing, or trying. You toss an 8 out there and you have all the Mav action you want. A 6 1/2 would do the same. But I agree with you, Kings so much better at home, Mavs ugly on road. Coming off worst shooting game in a long time, confidence eroded, elimination games tend to be favorites, 4-0 ATS so far. Only thing solid in this series has been the unders. Best Wsihes...OF
